Welcome to Truck and Bus Forum, tom.

Sometimes a sound but not pristine vehicle is more appealing than a 'perfect' ex-works condition one (IMO).

The 220 diesel is not a fireball - it will pull your caravan, but not very quickly!

Be warned that people who tow caravans to shows with trucks incorporate a spring device to cushion the vertical movement of the ball - something to do with frame damage to the caravan by the stiff roadsprings of the truck. If you do decide to attend a show, look out for owners who have modified their hitches and get the details (most seem to be home-made).
