Camper Vans.

[NEWKID 26,216]

Done up a 67 VW split screen as a joint venture with my brother a few years ago.

It looked cracking when finished, broke down the 2 times we tried to use it for holidays, sold it for a decent profit and it broke down on the way home with the new owner......it was a waste of space...used the money to pay for my wedding..... f**k I miss the camper van lol

What was their reason for not letting you take it abroad green dragon.

You could fly to the country and rent it there, not sure how the cost stacks up against the 2?

They do specialist camper van holidays in the states, quite fancied that tbh..

Just checked one site here for rentals and it ranges from to 160 euros a day plus 27.50 a day for insurance. Also not sure can I take it abroad. Waiting for a reply.

Just seen this lol mine an old merc 307d 1981 only done 30 something k. Needs a bit of tarting up inside and out tbh but the chassis and engine are sound! Will take £2k for it but no less so don't ask lol we're moving soon and it's not really practice to take it with us. Forgot to say it's a 5 berth.

[air gun ant 1,666]

Is he in Ireland blackdog92.

Just looking for other lads options at the moment.

only a few miles from heysham, so not a million miles away mate.

I just read the first thread and was about to say, a d series merc or a smiley face transit, and with thirty k on the clock and an asking price of 2k if I was in the market I'd be on that like flash

[jetro 5,349]

She sounds good air gun ant.

Did you do much traveling in it.

Done lots up the lakes, quite a bit in Scotland and a week in Wales mate, we've been away for 2 weekends in the last 12 months and it's just not getting used mate. It's never failed us since we got it in 2014 and is genuinely a good little bus. I would keep it but there's a lot more room where we are going and I'm think that I'll just get a caravan,

to rent something for a couple of weeks the size of that merc will cost at least £1500 I would buy one like the above use it and you will get your money back ,just make sure you get European recovery for peace of mind
