Stew we had an Avondale a few years ago and it was a good van. However Avondale went bust a number of years ago so that ma need to be taken into account as some spares may not be available. You should be able to get things or spares for cookers and fridges but may not be able to get things like trim or furnishings.

Stew, we have a big 2006 Avondale Argente twin axel and its a great well built caravan. Check for signs of damp with a cheap meter from Maplins, check if the floor inside has any bounce (de-lamination) and check for hair line cracks on the large GRP one piece front and rear panels. We've had no problems with our Avondale but I have some heard horror stories about some, but that could be said for a lot of other makes. Sounds a very good price Thumbs Up

Can you post a picture of it, take a damp meter if you can get hold of one, check around the windows inside and across the roof/wall joint areas at front/back and both sides.From memory they suffered from hairline cracks in the front and back panels and also suffered water ingress where the roof joins the front and rear panel. This may not be a big issue and may be fixable if found early.

Congratulations on the new purchase Stew, got to say it looks like money well spent.

Looks like there's plenty of room for you and Dave plus a full load of Doom Bar and pasties. Thumbs Up

Also you have your own bog now for the forum camping event next month, no walking to toilet block like John Wayne with your bog roll in your hand. Rolling with laughter

Looking forward to seeing it next month.

Cheers Phil.
