Newbie Posts: 3 Group: Members Member #720 Joined: April 26, 2009	Hi from Sunny Cromer I have just been offered a caravan, a Hobby Prestige, it looks clean and tidy inside and out (accept for a small crack in the rear lights, could be repaired) and wants Ł1,500 for it. This person is friend of the family, a local farmer wife and she has not used it for 18 months. Is there any thing I should look for, there is no damp that I could see. Any advice would be appricated ie how old it is, (as her husband bought it but since past away and they bought it second hand), the model etc. Many thanks Gary Attached to this post: hobby_prestige.jpg (525.32 KB)
