| 739706 | 2009-02-10 01:00:00 | This is what I'm looking at www.affordablecaravans.co.nz 4 berth with an awning. Interestingly,every single dealer I have spoken with has warned me against British vans, and as proof not a single one of them had them on their yards. |

| 739709 | 2009-02-10 01:13:00 | Just built very cheaply, Constructed out of foam panels and untreated timber. Resulting in a weak structure with moisture and dry rot problems. I was told they have a 10 year life span,which is why all the ones coming into NZ are 10 years old, They are near unsellable in the UK so Kiwi's are snapping up all the cheapies and sending them over here. Then they get parked out in the champion NZ weather where they get baked by the sun and thrashed by the rain. |

| 739711 | 2009-02-10 08:30:00 | Advantage with caravans: Once your parked, you can use your car to travel around without having to pack everything up before going down to the dairy. Disadvantages: Slow travelling, target for road rage, hard on your tow vehicle, need more than a 2 litre rice burner to tow a caravan. Great place to camp: Awakere (near Whakatane). Easy access, hot pools, kids playground, clean facilities. |

| 739713 | 2009-02-10 21:04:00 | Have you considered one of those so called "fifth wheel" caravans that you tow behind a ute? | John H (8) | ||
| 739714 | 2009-02-10 22:41:00 | Looked at so many things I have a massive headache. And a troubled backside, Though thats more likely due to the diet of servo pies and biscuits. And Im probably going to ignore all the advice I have received and by a 17 year old UK caravan, whats the bet that comes back to bite my face off?, "Hey honey, You know that 20 Grand, all wasted" |

| 739715 | 2009-02-11 01:58:00 | You should be alright In ten years time if its starts to rot its structure you might have won 1st division in lotto or be on a huge salary as a manager of a Demo company and you wouldnt care. Maybe if you could build a lean to to keep it out of the weather it wouldn't deteriorate. |
