Unleashed the swmbo and lesson learnt .
Swmbo snd I have decided to part with some hard earned and upgrade the tintent . We new what we wanted and found one at a dealers in Gloucester . Phoned him and spoke to a sales representative absolutely mint he said so paid my deposit over the phone without seeing it . After 24 hours of head and heart warfare I decided to travel the 300 mile round trip for a look . What a shed it was dented ,scratched obviously smoked 20 a day and had a spot of damp to make the list complete . So after a brief conversation with the salesman and letting swmbo flex he customer rights muscles we were back in the car with a full refund and on our way back to Cheshire . So lesson learnt fo me ,viewing is essential You're not afraid of the dark are you ?

That's bad, as if you wouldn't notice all of that.
Just out of interest, which dealer?

Have to say Glossop were a shower of when I bought a new van from them. All they were interested in was taking our money.
I definitely wouldnt go back. Massive firm with huge stock levels though.

Heard a similar story to dantheman about Glossop caravans, great at taking your money, but if you've got any problems afterwards they just don't want to know..Discovery 4 HSE Luxury Santorini MY12
Discovery 3 GS Manual Java MY07 ( gone )
