All side wall support catches in place. Few minor scratches and some chips due to age. All original cushions included. Towing hook and jockey wheel in good condition as are the tyres. There is a spare wheel & tyre. All 4 support legs operate correctly. We have not worried about repairing any chips as it has not affected the use.

My disclaimer:
Just so you know, I am completely impartial and I won't give any valuations on Portafolds or Ansfolds, neither do I get involved in the price being asked for any caravans being sold. I do not act as a go-between or an agent and therefore I take no commission or fee for putting prospective buyers in touch with sellers. This is a purely free service that I provide to the members of this forum. Beware of individuals that deal in Portafolds who masquerade as private sellers. As far as I am aware, all the details I pass on are private sellers, unless I specifically state otherwise in the listing.
