A British grandmother and grandfather claim to have been left £150,000 out of pocket after buying a 'nightmare' caravan purchase they say has 'ruined' their lives.

Lisa and Robert Colvin-Jones bought a caravan by the sea after downsizing their home, with the aim to make memories with their grandson and to rent it out when they are not there.

However, the purchase has turned into a financial nightmare for the pair, aged 55 and 56 respectively, with alleged hidden costs and other fees.

The couple say they have to work three jobs between them just to stay afloat.

They have only stayed in the caravan for three days in 2024 and not at all in 2025 - earning just £500 in rent across 32 weeks.
