WANTED TO BUY! Was wondering whether it would be interesting for us to have a section Caravan for Sale or Caravan wanted. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to upgrade our rigs and sell the other rather than get nothing for trade in. Also could be a number of want to be GNs like me getting ready to bu...

The link to the info on the SA govt website is broken, so I...
