Sorry if this has been B4 but can someone please tell me what do you look for when you are inspecting the van before handover? We are getting delivery of our Nova Revive soon and as we are novices and this will be our permanent home we need to get it right. Thanks in advance. Cheers Chris

A friend wants to rent my caravan (which has not been unregistered for 3 years) to use as a stationery spare room at his place for a couple visiting from oversees for 3 months.
