    Think there's a lot of people having to make hard decisions to have one less vehicle in the driveway.....

    There's a Granduca '00 reg asking €13k - that's quite a low price. A 95 VW 2.4 tdi based one for €11k..... 2 years ago I would have snapped that up without inspection (well... maybe not quite) instead of traipsing off to Germany to locate my 94 van, drive it home, pay VRT etc.

    The ones on donedeal look fairly clean too - used to be anything approaching 10k was mankey.

    Great time for anyone getting into campervans, I suppose.

    Worrying for us owners but great for buyers.. I was in getting gas last weekend in my local motorhome dealer and he was telling me he sold a 2008 6 berth for 20 k last week..

    Scarey... whats my poor 1998 hymer worth if this is the case....

    Good, damp free , solid campers are always worth a premium . WE could trade in lots of dodgey yokes and sell 'em out again for small money , but generally there's a good reason for a camper being that cheap .

    Out of interest , what brand was that 2008?
