We have a 2011 Lunar Delta TI caravan which we bought new.  However we have now seen a 2006 Lexon 640 caravan which has our ideal layout and is in excellent condition and comes with a 12 month warranty.

We bought our 2011 at the end of the year at a heavily discounted price and put down a large deposit.  Part of this could be transferred to the 2006 caravan reducing the overall cost and also reducing the HP payments substantially.

When we bought the 2011 caravan things were okay, but although we have no issue at the moment, we find we have less money for leisure pursuits and instead of being able to go out virtually every weekend in the warmer months, it is now every second or third
weekend.  We use mainly CLs. and are both retired.

We do like the 2011 van, but except for it being newer, having ALDE heating and a double door fridge nothing really different.  Layout is okay for us, but not ideal.

Would you consider downgrading even though you are fairly positive that things may improve within the next 3 - 4 years?
