Our caravan is 13 years old in September and still looks really smart. A couple of things on the interior starting to show wear now, but we only use it 3-4 times a year. Usually Easter twice in summer hols and sometimes a long weekend in May/June half term and October half term. I can't keep it at home permanently as it only just fits the drive, and the car and van have to stand on the road.I may see about getting some of the cushion backs re covered as they just stick to the frames with velcro,and the material around the velcro tape has worn away.
On the open market I would maybe get 1/4 of its purchase price from a dealer and a bit more from a private buyer, but will never sell it until it starts costing me in repairs. The most I have spent on it was 250 parts and labour to have the piezo igniter for the fire replaced. The new part had different wiring to the old one so the technician had a bit of unpicking of the harness to wire it in .
