The market has changed and there are deals to be done on new & used caravans.
This is because the demand has dropped in recent times and the used market is full of quite new caravans.
With this in mind we set off to Greentrees caravan store in Norfolk to see just what we could pick up up for a budget of £25k. We were impressed by the selections of available stock and the spring offered currently available from Greentrees, checkout the link to their website.
greentrees-caravanstore.co.uk
We were looking at 4 berth middle sized caravans and specifically with a transverse island bed and we were not disappointed.
We hope you like this video and do not forget to subscribe to the channel for more caravanning content.
Best wishes,
Helen & Dave

Hi Helen & Dave , wow that Sterling is stunning and you can just see it’s well made and sturdy . The Bailey also nice but feel the Stirling is in another class. I’d find it hard to resist that one ,Vicki x

Hi Vicki, must say, it's a wonderful van and looks to be in great condition, good bodywork too. Nice to window shop isn't it. Take care, Helen & Dave

Hi Helen and Dave hope you are both keeping well catching up after a crazy work schedule with the election! Some great vans in the review and I am with Helen I like how sterling finish their vans off and love the big windows on the Bailey it’s definitely a buyers market and our local swift dealer Black Country caravans around the corner from us is busy all the time at the moment and lots of choice but new and second hand all the best to you both Daniel

Good to know that there are bargains about, our friends will be looking very soon. They had their lovely caravan stolen at the end of last year. He has been away for four months sailing in the Clipper round the world race but is back this week. It looks like a good time to buy.

Evening Helen and Dave, Lovely to see what your money can buy. Not a bailey fan as our old bailey had many issues and from what we read they still have them. Damp being the main one 😢. The sterling looked stunning for a 2017. Nice to see Helen back out and about 😊. One main thing though, neither caravan would make me change if we had your van, it still looks great 👍. Take care both as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 😊

Hi Paul & Joanne, always great to hear from you and we value your opinions and thoughts. Yes the Sterling was very appealing, must admit but we do like what we have and unless it was a very good deal, I think we would be staying with what we have (better the devil you know).

Have to say I agree..we looked at a Bailey a few years back and there was sawn timber under the bunk bed which kids would surely play with and get splinters...also the latches under the cupboards were just plastic strips and not proper robust catches .couple that with my friends pageant which was riddled ...hence why swift probably better IMHO ..but its all preference..

Made a very big mistake after 30 years caravaning with 2 berth vans and brought a Swift Alpine 4 with rear loo, to take the grandkids with us and had to exchange within 10 months for Compass Camino, center loo with island bed for a good nights sleep without being disturbed. So keep this in mind with rear loo vans.

I was considering buying a bailey orion without a front locker but after doing my homework i discovered this van only accepts the calorlite gas bottle but unfortunately calor has made decision to discontinue these bottles i made enquiries and no other company does an alternative so whose going to buy a caravan you cant get gas for

@HelenandDave 23 күн бұрын

Hi Cameron, thanks for leaving a comment. Have you spoken to your local Bailey dealer? There must be hundreds of Orion owners facing this issue so what are they doing as an alternative? Does the Calor 6kg propane not do the job? Worth investigating. Cheers again, Helen & Dave 👍

Hi Dave and Helen, to be serious for a change, in all honesty, for us, the layout is key, ( as is price) our current layout is as the 580, we had a Sterling with that layout, which I always preferred and we have that again with our Adria. Loved the Buccaneer Bermuda layout, best by far, just could not convince ourselves to buy a Hymer group van for quality reasons. The other layout was the Adria Adora Tiber, king size bed did it, but delivery was an issue at the time we changed. Admittedly, some Adrias are missing some desirable features, although they have most of what is wanted and no caravan is perfect in that respect, you can add all the bits you want, the last bit for us is the solar panel, which is waiting patiently for a warm sunny period for me to fit.

@teddygas9689 Ай бұрын

Quick question? Why would you want to turn your gas on and off outside? Just an honest question ❤

@HelenandDave Ай бұрын

Belt & Braces for us. You won’t have a gas leak if it’s turned off at the bottle. We’ve seen a number of caravans burned to the ground, on sites and on the road and on each occasion, leaking gas was the cause. We are a bit paranoid but we turn the gas off unless we are using it. Cheers, Helen and Dave

@teddygas9689 Ай бұрын

From a gas engineer It will be fine. A small tiny lpg leak believe me you would smell it. Too many safety devices since we had a portable gas fire and black butyle black hose and thumb tap on the floor👍 ohh and not forget to put a new mantel on the gas light when arriving on site because old one would be smashed on the table 😂😂
