THE FRONT BOOT

THE VERDICT IS IN

Most people buy a caravan once, maybe twice, in a lifetime. They walk into a caravan show on a Saturday with a notebook, a phone full of brochure photos and a fair idea of what they want. They are not careless. They are outnumbered.
Anyone who ' s walked into a caravan show knows the problem. Thirty vans, 30 sales pitches, and by Sunday night they ' ve all blurred into one. The annex that was‘ thrown in’ goes missing from the quote. The Tare in the brochure doesn ' t match the plate. And the van you fell for turns out to be too heavy for your car.
VanVerdict is a notebook on your phone that remembers it all for you:
• Snap the plate and brochure, and dictate what the salesperson said, right at the stand. It even works with no signal in the show hall.
• Tow Match checks every van against your car ' s real towball, GVM and payload limits.
• Quotes are broken into base, options, discount and delivery, so you compare like with like.
• Every promise is kept in the salesperson ' s own words, with the date.
• At the end, you get a Buyer Report PDF with your whole case.
It ' s free for three vans. After that, it ' s a one-off $ 24.95 for a show weekend or $ 69.95 for six months. There ' s no subscription.
For anyone in the market for a new van, VanVerdict appears to be an invaluable companion.
