I say it’s not a bad deal if the van is in very good condition ,..I would say that the van is worth between five and a half to six grand, that without seeing it,. The mover is over a thousand pounds worth new, but make sure it is a double one, that is there is a motor on each wheel, . the awning new is another grand, so now your down to six and a half grand for the van… if you can knock him down £500, better still your now near to my original valuation . but as the mover ect are now second hand I would offer £7500 ....
On the caution side, make sure it is all ok, and that it is not a stolen van, there are a few about, and they sell cheaply, check if its “CRIS” registered “(it may not be as Hobby do not register them as a matter of course )” and that the seller has all the owners documents, and the chassis numbers are correct, if you make a note of the number , Ambergate caravans can usually tell you who bought it first and sometimes a little history of it, especially if it has been serviced ect. If all ok then the price of £7500 in my opinion is about right, remember this is not a touring van, to tow it you need a commercial vehicle, something over 3501 kilo, and all that it entails, it is for a permanent site. Also make enquiries about insuring it before you buy,. They can be difficult…….. good luck ,and let us know how you go on…

Chrome dog, thanks for the reply yes i was thinking about 7,500 thanks for all the other tips it is cris registered numbers match etc, full books the mover is twin one on each wheel, we have had insurance quotes and know off a site we like that we can leave it on.
