Big berther
I'm considering buying a 2-berth caravanette or similar for around £6k to £8k. I realise it would be very old, but a dealer in nearby Pevensey Bay, Sussex appears to have good quality vehicles. I am unlikely to travel abroad in it. Do you cover such vehicles? I have to say I have never seen any comments?

I try to avoid the issue, largely because motor caravans and campers are built on LCV chassis designed to do 300,000 miles in 6 years, then be scrapped. They aren't designed to do 4,000 miles a year for 15 years, and sit under a tarp on someone's driveway right through each winter. The best basic advice I can give you is, for the same money, always buy newer and higher mileage rather than older and lower mileage.
