caravan bought via gumtree
1
We purchased a caravan in good faith and as advertised was a good starter caravan. Seller 82r1703w35zfv Mandy. Ad ID [protected]. Upon getting it to a storage yard we registered it with Cris, promptly insured it and arranged for a full service. It was serviced this morning and unfortunately it was discovered to be in a seriously bad condition, severe wet rot which had been botched up to hide any visible problems. We were advised it should be scrapped as not safe. We are extremely angry as first time buyers of a caravan that we should have been duped in such a way. Although it may not have been a large amount of money, to us it was. We do not know what the policy is of Gumtree in such circumstances, but we felt that we should complain about our experience.
