He said motor homes are cheap, try and find one

There are still plenty of buyers out there still looking through rose tinted glasses intent on living the van life. We sold our van for just 500 pound less than we bought for two years ago. Now we weren’t selling a lemon the van was solid with no faults. It’s the getting increasingly expensive campsite fees fuel costs and the inevitable repairs that will come made us sell up and get out of van holidays

I stopped watching on the third vehicle that was covered, the “Auto-trail Frontier Delaware (Mercedes Sprinter)”. Why? Because the supporting video clip is of a Fiat which - rightly or wrongly - puts a question mark on the credibility of everything else that is being said.

Strange video,yesterday these same vans were commanding top prices at local dealers. V W transporter market going upwards.

Thank you.. in looking you have helped crossed a lot of the list, for me damp is the biggest issue so the habitation check is vital and robustness in drive and running gear. So I favour older hymers as I search

Tell me where you can buy at these prices, this is clickbait bullshit

Now with the price of fuel being so high ,no bugger can afford to do any real mileage.

Driving one of these in low emmison zone is desperation anyway. I would rather rather be adblue free anyway.

80.000 for a Luton van and a fitted kitchen seems a bit steep to me.

In Oz the same thing has happened. Loads of caravan and campervan dealers and builders are falling over.

I have a 1997 fiat Ducato with a swift konti body. 68000 miles and the fifth gear failed. 3 hour job to replace the 5th gear on the drive at home. Simple job £450.00 all in for parts and oil. Not really a big deal.

I gave up the caravan as it was a Mugs game. I gave it away. Bought a camper. Was nothing but trouble. I rebuilt the engine, then rust beat me. I gave up. Now only use hotels. It's a lot easier. Oh yes I did camping in my early years. Done it all and now full circle back to Hotels and travel ins..
