Default A necessary evil ...

Caravan buying

Oh no i have gone over to the dark side and need to buy a caravan (for racing, as camping in the paddock for 3 days really does my back in..... oh god i am gettting old)

So if anyone is happy to admit they have one/ have bort one / or know anything about...can you give me some advice on what to check when buying or any pit falls to look out for?

thank you

get a camper not a caravan, something like a nice old VW, looks cool, and does all that you need. but i asume that you will now say that you need to have a van for the bikes and therefore need to tow!

In that case i cant help!!

i don't have a van myself but spend as much as you can on it. i've sat in a few caravans in my time because of motorbike racing and you can always feel the difference...

I can ask a few of the guys that race up here and try to get some info for you.
