weve just taken the plunge and bought our selves the first camper van who knows if its the first of many or the first and last.My advice is go and look at as many as you can without knowing your budget its difficult to give advice on prices but if you view enough youll pretty soon know what is available
When we first got the idea(after a very wet festival camping in june)we started scouring ebay preloved gumtree auto trader et al we saw some dogs absolute rust buckets and some absolute peaches that would have streetched our budget to far.
Im a fair amateur mechanic and profesional gas and plumbing engineer so buying secondhand privately wasnt to much of a risk for me
we actually thought a budget of three grand would be ok till we started looking and at one point we actually considered buying a 94 symphony which was imaculate for seven we eventually bought a near perfect AS rambler for a little under four
The biggest change in mind set from buying a normal car/van is year is less inmortant than condition especially in our price range probably not so true if your spending a lot for some thing recent
we had to buy petrol as were within the livingstone republic low emission zone and this made seeing the value even harder if you had a 1989 petrol talbot express with a years mot you'd have trouble giving it away let alone asking four figures for it
prices definatley drop in october so ill assume they rise again in early spring so off season is the best value so now is the time to get out and look
not sure how helpfull our experiences will be to you but good luck theres a van out there with your name on it
