    Hi,

    I want to buy a campervan for me and my son(and Missus sometimes) to have weekends/days away in.

    I'd like something compact for a start till i see if we enjoy it and it becomes aregular thing.

    Has anyone any ideas of whats a good starter campervan. pros & Cons of different types etc etc.

    was looking at old VW's and Bedfors rascal/Suzuki Supercarry and older Bedfords and ther like.

    Any help appreciated:confused:

    If you're buying something double the asking price for a realistic idea of what it will cost you. With vw all parts will be really easily obtained and there will be a myriad of bits and bobs available for customisation etc.
    The vw vans are really a terror for rust and unless you have hundreds of hours to spare yourself or thousands of euros to spend on welding and paint you need to be buying one with NO rust.
    I gave our vw to a mechanic that loves welding and a year later hes only about 50% of the way there.
    Most other old vans you'll never find parts..
