I may need a small folding caravan transported from England to Scotland. I'm looking at a couple on ebay at the moment, one in Dagenham (about 420 miles) and one in Worcestershire (about 320 miles), and wonder if anyone here does this, or can recommend a company? I've got some quotes for the shorter journey of around £300.
I'm not looking for favours or freebies, this is a proper paid job, and would need to be covered by insurance!

Only if the all up weight is over 3.5 T , a car towing it wouldn't be over 3.5t

Thanks, but it won't be that soon, a few days to go at least. I don't have towing electrics on the Landy, and want to use the K.I.A for towing the wee van at times. I may just get a towbar fitted and get it myself. I was going to do the towbar myself, but I don't think I could manage with one hand in a stookie

I'm keeping an eye out for a Gobur or Esterel, either a cheap one now, that I can do some work on, or I can afford a bit more after Christmas.

Thanks for your help but it's not quite what we're after, we're looking for a solid caravan rather than a folding camper.
