New to the game!

  1. Hi everyone, Im not currently an owner and never have been so I'm new to the game! Rather looking forward to getting my first bay! Looking to buy a solid rust free bay (can be a panel) for around 12k. Would be ideal if it was located in the south west too. I am sat here going through all the threads in the Classifieds forum but if anyone knows of a specific one please let me know :)

    Cheers

    Alex

    Hi from Cheshire, good luck, do you mean a converted panel van camper or a panel van?
     
  5. Hi from West Lancashire - that was our budget two years ago - should get a good one for that.
     
  6. Can I be the first to suggest you get either a t25 or a t5. Happened to me when I joined here earlier in the year so I don't see why you should get away with it.

    Some would say it's not a game, and camper van ownership is something to be taken seriously :p. Welcome.

  12. Welcome. I think £12k is a decent budget. Have a really good look underneath and at the front panels - that's where mine was in need of most work but for 12 you should be buying one that it solid!

    I'm near Portsmouth and thinking of sell my tin top for a bit more, buts it's pretty clean
     
  16. How far west are you? I got mine from west coast vw near perranporth, their website will come up on google, and I'm very pleased. Might be worth giving Dave, the owner, a call as he can source vans as well.
     
  17. Welcome, I agree get a Westy then you can be like everyone else ........... :thumbsup:
