Walk a caravan show for two hours and something predictable happens. By the fifth or sixth van, the layout you loved starts blending into the one before it. The price that seemed reasonable, was that this van or the last one. The thing the salesperson promised, which caravan was that actually for.
It isn't a memory problem. It's an information problem. A caravan show throws a huge amount at a buyer in a short window, and nothing about a phone full of random photos and a scribbled notepad is built to hold it together.
What VanVerdict actually does
VanVerdict is a buyer-side caravan assistant, not a caravan seller and not a dealer tool. It remembers, for every caravan you look at:
- what the manufacturer advertised
- what the dealer advertised
- what you actually saw and photographed
- what the salesperson told you, word for word, if you record it
- what it was quoted at, and what that quote actually adds up to once registration, options and delivery are counted
- what you thought of it, at the time, before the next van pushed it out of your head
Every feature in the app has to answer one question honestly: does this help you remember, check, or compare a caravan. If it doesn't, it isn't in VanVerdict. There's no dealer marketplace bolted on, no classifieds section, no social feed. Just the buying journey: plan it, inspect it, remember it, compare it.
Built for the show floor, not a desk
The capture side of the app is deliberately simple: big buttons, fast photos, one-tap notes, works with no signal because everything saves to your phone the instant you make it. You're standing in a caravan, not sitting at a laptop, so the app has to keep up with that.
The review side is the opposite: on your shortlist at home, VanVerdict shows the working behind every number. A Fit Score isn't a mystery star rating, it's your own weighted criteria applied honestly, with the reasoning visible if you tap it.
The one check most buyers skip
Before you fall for a caravan, VanVerdict checks something most buyers never think to check on the spot: can your actual car legally tow it. Real numbers, not a rule of thumb, checked against your tow vehicle's real limits. We built this because getting the specs right on paper and then finding out at pickup that the rig is over its legal towing capacity is exactly the kind of expensive, avoidable mistake this app exists to prevent.
Know before you buy
That's the whole pitch. Not a marketplace, not a dealer's tool, a buyer's own record of a decision that usually involves tens of thousands of dollars and months of research. Start a free trial at vanverdict.com and take one caravan through it properly. You'll notice the difference the first time you try to remember which one had the layout you liked.
