air gun ant 1,666 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I got a random phone call a few days ago, asking if i would sell my canal cruiser or more to the point, did i fancy swapping for a campervan? ive had my canal boat for the last 9 years and its been a big part of my life, and ill be sorry to see it go but the thought of a campervan has really got me exited! i had a good look round it and theres no damp or mould, the chassis looks like new and its only got 32k on the clock! it is 30 odd years old tho, 1982 to be exact. my boat was first registered in 1956 so old things dont really worry me :-) so ive swapped my boat for a camper and a grand, and hopefully opened up a whole new avenue of adventure! first job is to put a tow bar on so i can drag one of my little boats around the country with me and have some sereous fishing holidays! Any tips, hints or tricks etc from anybody with experience? good sites next to the sea etc? cheers all from one really exited Ant lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobh 27 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Got any pictures? I would love to get a camper but unfortunately finances have always held me back. Not a classic VW though, my experience of one of them was extremely cold and draughty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
