Hi, I'm new here, and just as new to the whole campervan thang so was hoping for some advice and starting points!
I am wanting to travel around Europe with my girlfriend in a campervan for 3 months or so. I have had already travelled around Europe in a car and a tent, but now with a bit extra money I don't want to sleep in a tent for that long, so a campervan is the way I want to go!
I'm not sure how much I want to spend on the camper, as the important thing is to not lose too much value on the camper as I will sell it after the trip. The reason for this being that I will then travel the rest of the world by plane etc, so will have no need for it. I am thinking maybe £5,000 - £10,000. I realise this won't get me anything fancy, but that's not what the trip is about!
So my main questions are - what sort of camper should I be looking for? Doesn't need to be big as there's only 2 of us. And something that will last the 10 - 15,000 miles we'll do. How much money should I expect to lose once re-selling it a few months later (assuming it is in the same condition with just extra mileage and wear and tear). The other question I have is will any campers have air con for the price i'm looking at - i'm not bothered about the camper being cool when it's stood still at the campsite, but for when we're driving in the heat of some of the European countries...
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any starting points to look at would be greatly appreciated!!
