Hi,
Does anything like the "Parkers Guide" exist for Campervans? Or a "What Campervan?" type of guide? I've done a quick google for both but brought up only directory sites. I've been looking at T25s but the prices can vary so much for vans of similar ages, I guess condition is key when the old girl's 20 years plus, but a starting point would be helpful....

Re: Price Guides
On avarage between £3 and £6k for a good camper.
Westies will cost more, as it a VWs own.
A homebrew will cost less than a branded one.
I keep on eye on ebay etc, just to see what they go for.

Re: Price Guides
Thanks, I've seen a few but with varying prices, it's difficult to know without visiting each of them to compare I guess. I must have around 30 in my "watched list" on Ebay to see what they go for.

Re: Price Guides
Buy the latest, cleanest, non-resprayed 2.1 petrol van you can find with the most receipts and MOTs to prove low mileage. Gas it at Gasure to give you power plus 36ish to the gallon. Then put a grand into a rainy day account where it sits till you need an engine or a gearbox or a tidy up body-wise. Then about £200/month to save up for all the club weekend/week camps and a bloody good summer holiday

Re: Price Guides
A price guide would be almost impossible given the variety of models/specs and options. The only consistencies you are going to get are with one particular model...say if you settle on a high top autosleeper or poptop westie, then you might be able to compare like for like.
The only price guide is the one you feel when you have seen a dozen plus vans and you get that feeling of wether something is cheap/expensive by comparing 'the market' and what is actually on offer.
