I live in spain but we are thinking of buying a touring caravan in the uk, as here in spain they are expensive and few and far between could anyone tell us the pitfalls to buying in the uk and bringing it to spain on a permanent basis apart from the yearly trip to the uk.

thanking you .

kind regards lin.

I want to buy an English caravan but have a Spanish car. I have been told this is illegal for towing but I cannot find anywhere that tells me how to register a van that does not have registration documents. Does anybody know how?

HI we were told that if you contact the Caravan Club on uk they may be able to produce a LOG book for you, newer ones ie I beleive 2000 on wards are sold with a Log book and can then be registered, like in bulgaria a trailer etc... has its own log book, insurance, no.plate and mot!!

hope this helps you

regards wilola

Hi all, If you are looking for a touring caravan, we have a spanish registered caravan (registered to me)at our address in Spain. We have now returned to the UK and are selling the caravan as it is just over the legal width limit for UK roads. It is a Sun Roller Adajio 6 berth, 2006, single axle. It has fixed front double bed, central seating area with two side bunks. Air conditioning and awning. The caravan was purchased in Spain in Dec. I know that the prices in Spain are extremely costly for cars and caravans and this wouldbe an ideal van for anybody wishing to tour or use sited somewhere.

If anybody is interested, I can forward some pictures. Delivery to Spain is possible at extra cost. I am looking for around 9000euros or 7700 GBP. Thanks Tony

Hi, We bought a caravan from spanish outlet near Alicante, they do all the paperwork, advise on towbar and fit, speak english, put you in touch with insurers and matriculate. If you live here you should have a spanish registered car. To get an english caravan matriculated is costly and difficult the door is on the wrong side too its just not worth the hassle, friends of ours have given up and are getting spanish. regards

I lived in spain aprox 5 years ago for 10 months, if you buy a spanish owned caravan make sure you get there type of logbook/paperwork with it, if there is no paperwork "DON'T BUY IT" you can end up in court if you do not do things properly, cheers Chris
