Buying a second hand caravan privately || How to Buy A Caravan Tips & Tricks || Paul Wheel Drive

[@tonygrey3340]

Hi Paul, thanks for putting together this "educational video" to assist us all during the van purchase phase. It is so important to clearly understand / identify what your own personal requirements are before you commence the process of buying a van. Thanks for outlining in a really straight forward step by step process of what to consider based on your personal needs / wants / requirements. We followed those same steps in 2016 when my wife & I purchased our off road hybrid camper, and we still are happy with our Lifestyle Reconn Camper Trailer 6 years later.

Thank you Tony, I'm glad you found it informative. Next week I will finish off the process of buying and hopefully have covered most of the important aspects of the purchase. Glad to hear your thoughts. Safe travels, I'll look out for you on the track, Paul

Hey hey hey Paul. That looks like a big upgrade. Toilet shower all under one roof. You will notice a bit of difference in the fuel usage. But so much more convenient. Good brand as well from what I have seen. 👍

Fir starters after validating the seller. I would then ask Service history. When was the last service done. Who did the service. Are gad bottles still in date ect

[@PaulWheelDriveAustralia]

Good idea Mick, That would answer a lot of questions straight away
