The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Used Caravans

If you are thinking about purchasing a used caravan, one of the most important things you should do is weigh up to pros and cons of such as choice. As with anything that is available used (cars, boats and even houses), looking at the advantages and disadvantages of new versus used will help you to determine whether you are making the best choice.


Price: quite often, the price of a used caravans is a big advantage, as it works out to be much cheaper than buying a new van. It is even possible to pick up a caravan that is only a few years old for much less than what you would pay for it new.


Technology: unless you are one of the lucky people to find a one year old used van, the technology is probably going to be a disadvantage. This is because older vans aren’t fitted with the creature comforts (such as television points and microwaves) that we so enjoy, and it will cost you extra to get these items added.


Reliability: this is something that can go either way. One the one hand, used caravans can be considered as more ‘user-ready’ because the original owners have already adapted it to suit our needs. On the other, used vans can be subject to breakdowns and other problems.


Opinions: another advantage of buying a used caravan is that there are reviews and opinions on the model you are interested in readily available on the internet, helping you to avoid getting stuck with a lemon.

Whilst these are by no means the only advantages and disadvantages associated with buying a used caravan, they are some of the main ones that you should be taking into account before your purchase. Write down a list and make an informed decision that is best for your needs.
