How do you choose your caravan?

Published on : 02 June 20203 min reading time

There is a wide variety of motorhomes on the market, which makes it difficult to choose the ideal vehicle. With so many models on the market, it’s hard to know where to start.

The only thing you can be sure of is that the choice of a new Hobby caravan depends on you and your needs. However, in the following you will find some food for thought to help you find the right caravan.

Don’t buy the first new Hobby caravan you see

If you are new to the world of caravans and really want to buy your first caravan, you are likely to be dazzled by the gadgets, trimmings, interior and other components of the first caravan you see. Try to remain objective.

There are many choices and factors to consider that are far more important than the arrangement of the cushions inside and much more. It’s also important to be well prepared to prevent making the wrong purchase. To do this, remember to familiarize yourself with the main types of caravans, the market prices for the models and brands that interest you.

It’s also important to determine which layout or design will meet your specific needs and suit your intended use.

Beware of deals that are too good to be true

Caravan shows are a great way to weigh the pros and cons of the market, but going to a show with the intention of acquiring a caravan is not a good idea.

After looking at about a dozen caravans, many vendors will be competing to sell you their vehicle, and you run the risk of buying a vehicle that physically will look good, but will most certainly not be suitable for you in the long run.

So think carefully before you make any decisions. Determine exactly what you want and what you’re willing to pay for, then play hard to get the best deal. Remember to trust your sense of smell when you inspect a used trailer for sale.

Your sense of smell is the best indication of the condition of the Hobby caravan. If it smells of mould, check for signs of moisture. Discoloured areas, odd stains, mould and other signs are telltale signs.

Inspect your new Hobby caravan thoroughly

Carefully check the caravan for dents, broken or missing trim. The same applies to the side panels. Also be sure to check the hitch and tyres for signs of excessive wear.

Also look for signs that the trailer has been repaired in some way, such as areas where the paint does not match well or traces of putty or excess putty. Before you sign the contract, check the type of warranty you are getting from the dealer, its duration and what is covered.

Also make sure that all the documentation for your new Hobby caravan is in order. This will prevent you from buying a vehicle that is stolen or that is not in breach of current regulations. Make sure that all gas, electricity and water system manuals are intact, as well as the manufacturer’s manual.
