Hello everyone,
Thank you for your personal insights into my last two questions. I am now a member, so you'll be hearing more from me, I'm sure.
The point of our buying a camper van is so we can relax more. I now have an autoimmune disorder, so being able to relax with the camper van is part of my healing, relaxing = lessening antibodies. That's the idea anyway.
I find I am getting stressed. Just doing final checks before buying the 7m Challenger/Ford. Layout perfect for us - me frightened about length, you lot reassured me about that.
Every time I come to a decision, I get some info that worries me. Re Ford engines. One owner of a Bürstner/Fiat said Ford didn't do well in heat, so he would only ever buy Fiat engines. He is a truck driver and swears by Fiat. Then I saw somewhere here that Ford cabs are a doddle to break into. Arrgh, the uncertaintly mounts...... should we pull out.
The problem is we don't have any experience. It is just to two of us, adults, plus two elderly dogs.
We dropped the Bürstner/Fiat 6m+ because it didn't have air con in the cab (essential for us in France) and you guys said retrofitting is very tricky and expensive. My husband is a real handyman (electronics, not engines), so we were disappointed about that. Especially as we think the owner would drop the price to include the cost of air con retrofitted.
Just sharing my pre-acquisition insecurities. Sorry.
