Hi there, I joined this site a little while ago and have been lurking while I save up for / research to buy my first camper van
So I've got the budget sorted and I've spotted a van on AutoTrader that ticks all my boxes (size, number of travelling seats / berths, layout) with a price that looks pretty sensible. Before I contact the seller to go and have a look at it, I was hoping you guys might offer some advice...
I've never bought any kind of vehicle by myself other than from a dealer, and I'm not very mechanically minded at the best of times, so I'm a bit nervous of making a mistake and ending up with a lemon!
What should I look for? What should I look out for!?
Are there any particular checks I should be making?
This is the van I'm looking at. .
Thank you in advance for any help or advice!
