What to check when buying a budget caravan
Budget caravans can still be filtered by berth, layout and brand on RoamWorthy. Before contacting a seller, check the caravan's age, overall condition, damp history and running gear. A professional habitation check (around £150-200) is essential for any used caravan. You should also check the caravan's MTPLM against your tow car's towing capacity using the Caravan Match Calculator before committing.
