As seniority sneaks up on us we have started to look at caravans ,as a replacement for the trusty C/t that will eventually be beyond us to handle. We dont consider the wind up jobbies to be an upgrade & will go for a small poptop.
Used, of course, so someone else pays most of the depreciation..:))).
We now read the articles & reviews on new vans to get a feel for the job, & find
details on construction are scarce. One article on a new 18 ' single wheel van
raves on about the "specially selected axle"...good stuff methinks, then, on the
next page, is a
pic showing slipper springs.. no thanks. This, on a $50k van, mmm.
Weight is rarely mentioned, but details on the TV are very inclusive. We know
buying a used van requires very careful inspection, but the waffle offered new
van seekers seems to bear little regard to the things serious buyers would
look at. Much research to be done, I fear. Will contemplate all that with a
month in Tassie ,starting Sat. Life must go on....sigh.....:)))))......oldbaz.
