Balmoral Show Outing

Posted by Le-Ann on May 13, 2011 in News | 0 comments

We left Bann Caravans in Geoffrey’s capable hands and skedaddled off to The Balmoral Show in Belfast yesterday. With grey skies and then torrential rain as we left home, we were extremely lucky to find we didn’t need umbrellas, or even coats, when we arrived at the King’s Hall!

We had a fantastic time but found the queues and crowds tiring.

Disappointingly, we saw only one caravan there all day. Some traders used marquees and others portacabins but only one caravan that we saw.

Did you attend the show this year? What was the highlight of your visit? Our’s was probably the chocolate fountain!

EEEK!!

Apologies if you were trying to view our used caravans online over the Easter weekend! We’ve just realised (thanks to an eagle-eyed customer) that our home page had sneezed and allowed gremlins in to the workings.

All sorted now and back to normal again – PHEW!

CRiS Checks

Posted by Le-Ann on Apr 20, 2011 in News | 0 comments

We know buying a used caravan is every bit as risky as buying a used car, that’s why we carry out a CRiS check on every caravan we have for sale before it goes on to our forecourt.

Just as with a car, if you were to buy a caravan that is on finance or stolen you may not be legally entitled to keep it – you could lose the caravan and even the money you paid for it.

A CRiS Check will not only confirm the caravans true identity, but will also reassure you of the provenance of the caravan you are interested in and will reveal if the caravan is subject to an HP agreement, reported stolen or been recorded as an Insurance Write-Off. In addition CRiS will be able to confirm if the ‘seller’ is currently recorded with CRiS as the current keeper.

The Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme (CRiS) is the national register of touring caravans, which was established in 1992 by the National Caravan Council in conjunction with HPI. CRiS helps prevent and detect crime and acts as a security check for dealers and private caravan buyers.

We carry out this check, and when we sell the caravan to you we transfer ownership of it to you, allowing you to apply for a document, a little like you have for your car. Many insurance companies now require customers to provide a valid CRiS number before providing adequate cover.

It only takes a few minutes, but it could prevent a lot of heart ache in the long run – don’t buy without the security of a check!

It’s Easter!!

It is the Easter holidays – just in case you haven’t noticed! Many of the schools are off so you may already be away enjoying yourself. Have a lovely time and don’t forget to send us some photos!

If you are stuck at home wishing you could get away don’t forget about our fantastic EARLY EASTER BONANZA discounts that we have been running since St Patrick’s Day.

Many of our caravan prices have been slashed – some by as much as £1,000! They aren’t marked down on our site so please don’t hesitate to come down to have a look. They are all spotlessly clean and ready to drive-away. You could be on-site the day after you purchase.
