Budget disclosure - Good point - but im also not desperate for a van, and very sutbborn! ie im more willing to walk away than go over my budget pre set budget. My budget is set based on the individual van, i have a figure based on a nice van that has everything working - once bits go missing and thi...

Cheers - keep it coming! Im still struggling to get my head around the differences in what adds value to a T25 in comparrison to a bay! With the bay it was all - make sure its original bumpers etc, original paint so you know you wont get rust popping through in 6 months time. ((i obviously am still ...

Hi, sorry if ive posted in the wrong section - im still pretty new here and currently badly finding my way around. As in previous posts - my girlfreind and i have been looking at bays, then saw an auto sleeper and since then seemed to have gone off the bays, and now want a t25. Looked at a few but n...

Hi- nice one. Id checked the buying guides accross the internet - including this one (which was very good and part of the reason for joining this forum) Its just that every guide says 'look for rust on the step, and underneath rubber mat' but then doesnt go on to say what warrants a walk away and wh...

cheers got pics of all these and everything seems fine - i just meant anything more serious that the step rust could be a symptom of?

Oh- ill definately be wanting a camper for camping in so - id be after tidy and functional! Most of its hid by the rubber mat anyway! I assume its V rare to find one with out the step rusting - prob is for us that we are going with the aim of buying there and then - really cant go, take some pics, c...

I thought that the step plate would be bad as it would move on to...

Hi, I have my eye on a auto sleeper trident. Seems a good price, has a full 12 months mot no advisery etc Not perfect but not far off (the most minimal seam rust ever, no bubbling round window rubbers etc) However the last few ive seen all seem to have rust in the step to the cab, and tho the last o...

Hi, My girlfriend says it sounds like your OH is me. I spend every hour of every waking day trawling through auto trader, volkszone, ebay etc etc and then following up on anything even remotely good to get photos of everything (underneath,, arches etc) then shortlisting the best of these for viewing...

Hi, Cheers for the welcome - and the advice! When it comes to campers, rust and mechanics my experience lies purely from looking at the bay windows for the majority of this year (aprox 5 a month actual viewings!) and from owning a classic mini cooper for 5 years. As you can tell from the viewings im...

Hi,Im a newbie so forgive my inexperience. My girlfreind and i have spent the last 3 or 4 months traveling the country looking at vw bay campers. Our budget went up and up as we looked for the perfect mix of classic camper and camping capabilities. Then low and behold we came accross an auto sleeper...
