1999 Avondale caravan - £1750

I'm going to stick this on the 'bay in the New Year for around £2500, but it's available now for the special shitters discount price of £1750.

It's a Dart 475 (5m long), and for a 4-berth it's pretty light with a MIRO of 922kg (1160kg MTPLM). I pull it with a 1.6 petrol Berlingo, though this isn't recommended - it does not enjoy hill starts!  It comes complete and ready to use - gas bottles, leisure battery, mains cable, water containers, crockery, etc are all included, you just need to provide bed linen and towels.

It looks SUPER CLEAN in these photos but it's got minor marks on the body and some fading of the interior, etc.

It's got mains electric as well as 12v, blown-air gas heating (supposed to work on mains too, but doesn't), Carver water heater, gas cooker, gas/electric fridge, cassette toilet, shower (though the hose needs replacing and the water pressure must be COMEDY with a 12v submersible pump; I've never tried to use it).

There's also an awning (with an additional 2-bed pod), and some big sunshade thing that goes on the side - I've never bothered with any of it, though I have the instructions.

There's no obvious damp, but I have a suspicion water might be getting into the area under the front side windows.  It's certainly had a repair there at some point as you can see a join in the interior panels, and the sill under the front windows (MDF with veneer) has expanded as if it's been wet.

It'll need tyres soon too, as they're about 6 years-old from memory.

'Van is located just outside Basingstoke and I'm around until the 5th Jan if anyone wants to come and take a look, or just drink my tea.
