VW Camper Van

[Lockhouse]

Try hiring one for a long weekend and see if the missus is still keen afterwards.

Like it!

Why not get an ex GPO Commer van? They are ideal for converting into camper vans and you can pick one up for a few hundred pounds.

How about a Mazda Bongo? Newer and more reliable than an old VW of a similar price.

Bongo Fury!

I've looked into it on a few occasions in the past and I came to the conclusion that I just wouldn't have the time to look after a VW camper.

You need be prepared for the inevitable breakdowns and spend the odd weekend doing maintenance tasks, I'd image it's more like owning a boat than a car. You've got to love that sort of thing.

Can yourself picture yourself or Mrs Lockhouse wearing overalls with a spanner in hand?

Actually I run a wedding car business in my spare time so er....yes.

Anyway after looking at it in detail I've decided I'd be better off with a proper two berth motorhome with a decent kitchen and lav. Camper vans are too much like roughing it for me (well actually the missus)!

I had a 1979 type 2 van for a while. It was slow, thirsty and unreliable and rusty. I sold mine before the became a cult.
