Used Abbey Caravans – Classic British Touring Caravans

Discover our latest used Abbey caravans for sale at UBC & Leisure in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Abbey is a well-known name from British caravanning history and remains a familiar sight on campsites across the UK. Part of the Swift Group during its later years, Abbey caravans combined practical layouts, comfortable interiors and proven British caravan design.

Although Abbey caravans are no longer produced new, good examples remain popular with customers searching for an affordable, practical used touring caravan.

Whether you're buying your first caravan, looking for an inexpensive tourer or searching for a particular Abbey layout, it's always worth checking the latest used arrivals at UBC & Leisure.

Abbey Caravan Heritage

Abbey was an established British caravan brand for many years and developed a loyal following among touring caravan owners.

During its time within the Swift Group, Abbey benefited from the manufacturing expertise and technology of one of Britain's largest leisure vehicle manufacturers while retaining its own identity, interior styling and model names.

Today, Abbey caravans are found exclusively on the used market, where well-maintained examples can provide an affordable route into caravan ownership.

Used Abbey Caravan Ranges

Abbey produced numerous models and layouts over the years.

Depending upon age and availability, our used stock may include models from popular ranges such as Abbey Aventura, Abbey Freestyle, Abbey GTS and Abbey Spectrum, together with other Abbey caravans from previous generations.

Because specifications changed between model years, we'll always explain the equipment and features of the individual caravan we have available.

Abbey Aventura

The Abbey Aventura offered practical touring accommodation in a selection of layouts designed for couples and families.

Aventura models can be particularly attractive to customers looking for a straightforward used caravan without unnecessary complication.

Depending upon the particular model, layouts can include comfortable front lounges, kitchen facilities, washrooms and a variety of sleeping arrangements.

Abbey Freestyle

The Abbey Freestyle name appeared on a range of practical touring caravans offering comfortable accommodation and useful equipment.

On the used market, a good Freestyle can make an excellent option for first-time buyers or customers looking for an affordable caravan for weekends and holidays.

Abbey GTS

The Abbey GTS became one of the better-known names within the Abbey line-up.

GTS models offered a combination of attractive interiors, practical layouts and good levels of specification.

Depending upon model and year, you'll find everything from compact layouts for couples to larger caravans offering permanent beds and additional living space.

Abbey Spectrum

At the more luxurious end of the range, the Abbey Spectrum offered higher levels of specification and comfort.

For customers looking for a spacious used caravan at an attractive price, a well-maintained Spectrum can still offer an impressive touring experience.

Affordable Caravan Ownership

One of the biggest attractions of a used Abbey is value for money.

Not everyone wants or needs to spend the cost of a brand-new caravan to enjoy touring.

A carefully selected used caravan can provide everything required for weekends away and longer holidays at a much lower purchase price.

This can make Abbey particularly interesting for first-time buyers, customers returning to caravanning or anyone looking for an additional tourer without making a major investment.

Great First Caravans

If you're considering buying your first caravan, an Abbey could provide an affordable introduction to touring.

Buying used gives you the opportunity to discover what you actually value in a caravan.

You might initially think you need a fixed bed and later discover you'd prefer more lounge space.

Or you may start with a compact caravan before deciding you want something larger for extended holidays.

Starting with a sensibly priced used caravan can be a great way to learn what works for you.

Layouts for Couples & Families

Abbey produced a wide variety of caravan layouts during its history.

Depending upon the model, you may find:

• Compact two-berth caravans
• Traditional front lounge layouts
• Fixed double beds
• French-bed configurations
• Family sleeping arrangements
• Additional dinettes
• Bunk-bed layouts
• Large end washrooms
• Spacious multi-berth tourers

This variety means there can be an Abbey suitable for many different types of caravanner.

At UBC & Leisure, we'll help you compare our available caravans and find the layout that makes sense for the way you intend to use it.

Comfortable Touring

Despite their age compared with today's new caravans, many Abbey models provide everything needed for comfortable touring.

Depending upon age, model and specification, you'll find features such as heating, hot water, kitchen appliances, refrigeration, washroom facilities and useful storage.

The traditional front lounge found in many models provides somewhere comfortable to relax during the day before converting into sleeping accommodation at night where required.

Higher-specification Abbey models can offer surprisingly generous levels of equipment for their current used values.

Buying an Older Used Caravan

When considering any older caravan, condition is often more important than the badge on the front.

A well-maintained older caravan can be a much better purchase than a newer vehicle that hasn't been properly cared for.

That's why it's important to look at the individual caravan rather than simply comparing model years.

Factors such as overall condition, servicing, equipment and evidence of water ingress or previous repairs should all be considered when buying an older tourer.

Our team can talk you through the individual Abbey caravan you're considering and explain its features and condition.

Matching Your Tow Car

Abbey caravans were produced in many different sizes and weights.

Before purchasing, you'll need to make sure the caravan is suitable for the vehicle you intend to tow it with.

At UBC & Leisure, we can help you understand MTPLM, payload and towing weights and discuss whether a particular caravan is appropriate for your tow vehicle.

If you're completely new to caravanning, don't worry – we'll explain the terminology and help make the process straightforward.

Part Exchange Your Caravan

Already own a caravan you'd like to change?

Part exchange may be available against one of our used caravans.

Part exchanging can make changing your caravan considerably easier by avoiding the inconvenience of advertising and selling your existing vehicle privately.

Speak to our team about your current caravan and the vehicle you're interested in and we'll be happy to discuss your options.
