Sorry if i'm asking too many questions.
Picking the camper up tomorrow from North Wales and driving to my mechanic friends garage in Machynlleth.
Van hasn't started for 5 months due to sticky starter and not moved in over a year.
It's a 2.0 hdi peugeot boxer.
Anything i need to check before i drive it away,other than obvious water oil and tyres and brakes?

Going to need Mot,i think i can get one of these at Aberdovey.
What kind of points do these campers fail on?
I allready need a R/H wing mirror as this is hanging off,so looking to replace this.
Have been quoted £ 400 for one of these.:Sad:

Can anyone recommend where to buy a tow bar for the boxer?
I'm hoping to take my bike with me abroad with a trailer?
Will the 2.0 hdi be strong enough to tow? bike is around 190 kg.

That's all for now thanks again in advance for any guidance.

Update on the van.
Been a busy few days but still no mot :Sad:
Van still in the garage,Battery and wing mirror fitted,waiting on the garage to do the rest.
Need a radio code after changing the batt today,seen tonight that on the peugeot forum they give them out there if you ask.:thumb:
Took the leisure batt off and is on tender.

That looks like a nice van you have got your self there, thought of any names yet.

How about Betrys (she who makes you happy)

Or maybe Hafwen (fair summer)

Hope I have the translation correct.

Just the job,
Been looking at one of these trailers so i can keep my bike nice and dry.

Do be aware that towing a box trailer REALLY kills your mpg ! :Sad:

Far better off with a pucka bike trailer and a decent cover over it ( though the cover is optional and I never worry ! Bikes do not melt in the rain ( unless of course it is a Zuk or a hardly Moving ! )

Thanks for that,not really know what route to take as yet.
Still searching for a tow bar for the 2005 avantgarde 300 boxer i have,hint hint,
Once i get one i will go and test various ways to transport the bike.
I like the one above as it has a cover so i can do some maintenance on the bike and carry spares.The Buell i have requires a lot of this.

Do you have link for the pucka trailer?
Couldn't find anything on the web.

I think the one that came with my motorhome is a towtal and I have every faith in it as it is very substantial, you are welcome to come and have a look at the workmanship if you want:thumb:
