If your looking for a caravan check for damp and the running gear etc as its quiet shocking on older ones!

I can't believe you even thought i'd need reminding of that. I'm actually offended by it.

Re: Towing a caravan with an SJ410?
If you build a teardrop, bear in mind that it'll need an IVA test.
No, I'm not kidding. The same IVA test they do on kitcars. Yes. But a simplified, slightly less expensive version.
If you use a trailer/caravan chassis *unmodified* then you should be ok, but check with VOSA first.
It's why I never tried building a teardrop (that and no time whatsoever in which to do the work).
