The sller could not connect the electric or water at the time of the sale but assured me that everything was working and nothing was broke, All the representations were made by the seller in writting. Whe I got home I had the caravan checked for safty reasons and it was reported by the independant engineer there was strueral damp and many other faults and the caravan is beyond econimical repair.
