UNCOVER THE BEST VALUE IN USED CARAVANS

There are bargains to be had when it comes to finding a used caravan. But how do you know that what you’re getting is the best value overall? The steps to getting a great used caravan (and not just a good deal) is making sure you get loads of value out of your purchase, and we can do this by checking off things like what you need your caravan to do, how big you need it, what bonus extras to look out for, what’s your budget (ceiling price), and lastly, of course, can you drive it. Let’s take a look at these more closely:

DIFFERENT TYPES

As not all things are created equal, and there’s no exception to that rule with caravans. And used caravans in particular. They have been tweaked, improved, adapted and reconditioned. Find out the type you need by first deciding how many people will travel and how you like to travel. Here is a quick summary of the different kinds of caravans on the market:

●       Conventional caravans with one or two (twin) axles. These are the ones you can tow. They are stable and easy to tow.

●       Pop-out caravans. These give extra room for pop-out bunk beds. Great for families.

●       Pop-top caravans. These give extra head height and gives a greater feeling of space.

●       Wind Up and Out Caravans. It’s basically a combo of the Pop-out/up caravan.

●       Fifth wheel Caravans. This is a “home away from home” big caravan. It sits at the higher end of the market and has many add-ons to enjoy.

●       Motorhomes. These are car/caravan integrations with a Fifth Wheel Caravan feel.

 

ON-BOARD EXTRA FEATURES

There may not be many extras to find in the lower end of the market, however, when you slide up the scale to fifth wheel caravans like the Scenic Caravans things start to look a whole lot more interesting. There are interiors which are truly luxurious with spacious bedrooms, well-built kitchens and fixtures and fittings upgrades that can come with a used caravan in this category. Of course, each category has it’s extras like material upgrades (for pop-out/wind-ups) so be sure to look out for those.

SET YOUR BUDGET

It’s important to know your ceiling price and try and stay within that during your negotiations. When you find a great value used caravan with more than what you bargained for, you can always ask for financing options from a reputable dealer.

WHERE TO BUY

Research your caravans online and narrow down your search to those resellers with a solid track record in the industry. Read their reviews and testimonials, and you can even ask them for customer references when you call to discuss the caravans that you’re interested in.

CHECK IT. TEST DRIVE IT.

Like all things online, there is no better judge of a product than that which is done in person. Making the effort to physically inspect the used caravan is the most important step of all. Test drive it (if that’s possible), check all credentials, previous owner history and ask as many questions as you can to find out as much as possible.

 

The main thing about getting the best value out of a used caravan is to do your homework. Make sure that what you’ve bought ticks off all your boxes, not just what’s in the cost column.  Check the caravan is mechanically sound, that you are comfortable with driving it and ensure you’ve bought it from a reputable re-seller of used caravans.
