Agreed Rick. It would only take an hour to wash it!

Presenting vehicles for sale was covered in another posting about people who sell cars on Ebay and do not even bother to take them out of the garage to photograph them.

Or give them a wash.

If this was my caravan and I wanted to sell it I would have power washed it.
Filled a couple of bin liners with the rubbish inside the caravan.
Hoovered it out, and cleaned the windows.

But then again if the person selling this caravan had the get up and go like I have they would not have let it get in the condition it is in, and perhaps kept it looking smart and useable.

What a interesting van, i did not bid as i needed to have a look at it
so i rang a club member who volunteered to view the van , only to be told that the owner was out on the afternoon it finished ! never mind
i had a discussion with club historian , and the consensus is it could be a 1949 Claridan , the Splendid has the wrong bay windows , and the van in the pic above is the Astoria this is to long, hope this helps ....OVM

I fully understand and agree with your comments about getting items ready to sell. The owner of the eBay caravan had just bought the house and found the caravan under all the rubbish in the garden! His sole interest was clearing it! Here is a picture of the end window if it helps with identification. I did not measure how long it was but it appeared shorter than the 'van in the old photo.
