Hi all.

Getting ready to hit the road.

I have been going to the caravan shows and visiting heaps of caravan manufactures.

During a visit last weekend I found a caravan that ticked all the boxes as far as my requirements are concerned.

So I thought I might ask the forum to see what you guys think.

Weights are all within what my F150 can legally tow, and ball weight is good.

Im looking at a 2008 manufactured 25 ft long van. Jayco built.

It has a aluminum frame.

Because it is such a long van, will it be hard to find parking for it. Or do caravan parks provide adequate space.

Have any people out there had any experience with a 25ft Aluminum framed Jayco van.

It looks in good condition,

What are the sort of things I would have to look for to ensure that it is as good as it looks.

Cheers.

Kiwimagic.

I have also been looking for the last 2 years,trouble is the other half keeps changing her mind
just when I think I have found the right rig.You certainly have a good tug in the 150,would love to get hold
of a new 150,they sound pretty good.
