Caravan help please

Marty,
I paid $6.5K for a 16ft Viscount (1984) a couple of years ago but it was just a bare caravan in good nick.

IMHO and provided it checks out on inspection, no signs of water stain, no chassis rust or underfloor damage (water, dry rot etc) and reasonable vynil poptop panels and interior and that everything works, it looks like a reasonable buy at that price.

Hope it looks as good in real life.

Hi Marty,
My next door neighbour has one the same. He tows it with a Subaru Forrester 2005 model, manual, with out any problems. He and his wife go for 3-4 weeks at a time. They are seasoned travelers and don't take must crap with them.
They reckon it is a good sized van, easy to tow and heaps of room for the two of them.
As Disco said, give it a good look over. looks like a good buy.

Hi Marty. I too would be tempted, tho the price is a bit on the high side for its age. One thing I would want if I was considering buying the van would be to weigh the thing! Its past owners have added a lot of 'features', and, with such a small van, both the ATM and the front to back balance may need to be checked.
Also, having bought a similar aged Coromal a few years ago, without a clue about these things, it is very important the check out the chassis and running gear. I was lucky (apart from tyres that looked fine but were too old (I blew one))
Could be a pleasure for years!
