getting our second cali

[morpeth clan]

hi all
on verge of getting our second cali last one was in 2010 and we sold it to work on the house
since we have had a big 6 berth coach built, not really us as its still a compromise and so big
we will tour a lot round Scotland as we are in Northumberland
we have 2 little climbers 8 and 5 so perhaps a awning is on the cards
I have spotted a nice 14 plate
it has not had the cam belt/water pump done so that's a must ?
but it seems to have had suspension arm bushes reported as excessively worn on each MOT there is a tow bar would this suggest heavy work by the van
any help most welcome

Most folk only use the tow bar to mount a bike rack on, but there are exceptions. If the suspension arm bushes are worn it would suggest a lot of use so maybe best to steer clear! I would look for one that has no advisories or fails. Good luck

Just seen your other thread, seems to have more wear on the brakes than the 41k would suggest, I would be wary of it. Unless it’s very cheap; there are plenty of other Cali’s about.

yes I have two threads on the go got mixed up, new user.
a few trips round Europe could explain the brakes, they seem to honest to clock, even if possible
looks like hard use of brakes and suspension perhaps better to leave, £37750 and cam belt to do
