    Hi,

    Looking to buy my first CV and looking at a Challenger 690 in Dublin. Planned uses are several dog shows a year with myself, herself and possibly 1 or 2 kids, also trips to the UK with 3/4 kids and the wife as well as the odd weekend away

    I will be adding seat belts to the rear facing seats.

    Am I taking on too much? Cannot find any info online about this series, it is a Peugeot Boxer 1993 based CV

    Who is certifying the belts? What engine size and which chassis weight.

    I'd be getting a damp check done by an independent place first off.

    Will look for a habitation report for it before parting with any cash, thanks
