devon to california

I have at present a t25 air cooled devon conversion. It was the first ine looked at and bought over 2 years ago. There has been no major hassels with the van and we have really enjoyed our time in her, but with hindsight, a bit more patience and a wee bit more effort there could be a better van sitting in our drive.

We have just had our second son and now think its time to part with Vicky and up grade her to a westy joker california atlantic. I have been unable to view any of these vans as all the ones available seem to be way down south beside the big smoke or in europe.

i don't want to end up making the same mistake again and buy a van that I want to change in a few years so I was wondering, do any of the forum members have any opinions on the Joker California Atlantic, or even better, have one sitting in their drive that i could come round and gain some experience on before upgrading Vicky

we stay in stirling and would be happy to travel around a hundred miles to look out your van, have a chat, hear your experiences with it and of course, i will bring biscuits for a cup of tea.

thanks for your time

having looked at thousands of these vans over the last couple of years I've got to say I'm in love with the one on this thread

ithanks for your time

If you are interested Ash and I stay in Denny. I doubt anyone else in the gorup is closer. We have a 1983 Westy club Joker, your welcome to come round anytime and have a look. For more info you should head over to Shotts and see the guys at Syncronutz, I'm sure they'd be happy to show you round a few of their vans in the yard.
