Looking for a caravan

How are you planning to use the van? If you are mainly looking at camping holidays rather than extensive touring perhaps you could consider a Jayco (or other brand) wind up camper such as a Hawk. For your budget you should get an Outback model in very good condition that would be quite sufficient for accessing secluded camp sites etc. We found our Outback Dove excellent for this purpose. These campers are more spacious inside than a small caravan and very well lit and airy for summer camping when you can open all the large windows. Setting up does not take long. With a toilet tent and a decent battery we could bush camp for quite a while. Lynne

The coromal didn't work out but we have found 2 a Windsor trustar 1996 model and a jayco freedom 2002 model both 17 feet long both $16000 we actually like the Windsor more but for the same price we can get a van 7 years younger both layouts suit we are a bit stuck but think we will have to go with the jayco
