My dilema.....what are your views?

[tobz.]

Plenty of mixed views here.
I think I'll probably go the same route as you Clair, like you say a bay camper for under 2k is still gonna be one that has been welded up and painted by somebody else anyway. I certainly haven't got 4k to spend on a good condition unrestored example. I think I would rather see the work done myself and at least know what's underneath.
You say you got your camper for ?400 Clair, how bad was it and how much do you anticipate spending to make it roadworthy? I have come across a couple recently for under ?600 so maybe if I wait til the depths of winter they may come down even further.

Would love one like Gibbys but expect anything I end up with to definately have a bit of the rat look about it

well when im an old man like gibby, then ill think about getting a camper

as a young buck im concentrating on getting the corrado

Cheeky little boy ! But you're right, getting in and out of tents at shows was getting too difficult for a man of my age !  Anyway Marcus, you only live once, so buy a camper and a raddo !

my ?400 camper was road worthly, it had  a years MOT but no one wanted it cause of what it looked like, it was just very very rusty but the places that were important were fine. It had gone on teh roof at teh back, bottom of all teh doors etc... it was umm light blue with red patches lol and it had a big name accross the roof back Bertha Bus.

I sold it for ?650 a few weeks ago and am pleased to say that the new owner took it to vanfest and she made it there and back with no trouble.

Even at the ?650 price we had over 100 calls, I think it is best to find a cheap one that already has a MOT so you no teh main stuff is done and then the rest is possible but down to you to do it in yoru own time.

We got some very funny looks, people laughed at it and most people didn't beleive that it had a MOT
