SEARCHING FOR THAT PERFECT new caravan can be a headache. You could trawl through brochures, magazines and websites advertising vans for sale, but there’s nothing quite like stepping inside the real thing and having a really good look and a poke around.
For instance, if you’re considering a fixed-bed layout, a bed that appears large enough on paper might actually be too narrow or too short when you use it for the first time. The only way to see if you fit is to lie down on it.
Once you have determined which layout you want, you might find that a dealership not too far away from you has a demonstrator of one particular brand, but you can almost guarantee that if you want to compare a couple of models from different brands, they won’t have both.
By the time you have located that second model, chances are (if you’re anything like me!), you will have forgotten the details of the first.
