Default What are your thoughts of this for a first timer?

Got the 300c to pull it.
I never thought I would see what this life is all about

expect damp.
you may not like the shower floor being the floor of the toilet area.
similar to my first caravan, we had lots fun in it.
check fridge works on 12v, 240v and gas
cant see the hitch so you may need a stabiliser which looks to be a blade type.

go for it, don't worry its not modern

That's not a caravan Jay, this is a caravan.



Check for damp behind the seats/bed and open all the cupboards, look for signs of fresh paint and silicone. Be cautious of nice smelly air-freshers, these are often used to disguise the smell of damp.

Also check the floor for delamination, this is when the two laminated 6mm ply surfaces separate from the foam insulation. Its an easy fix, just some one shot poly adhesive to be injected into the floor and plugged with some wooden dowels. Job done.
