Yeh, nice the fact that its RHD but a little pricey.....especially if the mileage isn't a mistake at 560,000

isnt that the one with the interesting "special aerodynamics" on the side??
if you do go to see one check everywhere for damp. remember you are buying a 25 yr old caravan!!!

its not a caravan its a motorhome jason is right about the damp though. if you find one check the top rear corners inside, also in the palatial bathroom and the roof above the kitchen, 2 of the main areas where they seem to leak in due to the dip in the roof. |

I'm not bothered so long as I find a good-un. What I'd really like is a T5 colorado RS
