Challenger 690 (5/6 berth)

thecivvie

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.

Is the anything I should look for on the ceiling/roof other than fresh paint. Going to be checking for damp signs etc anyway

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
