  1. Hi,
    Thanks for letting me join your gang!

    We don't have a bus yet (well not a VW anyway) but are thinking about getting one sometime next year. Just trying to learn as much as I can about them before we start looking in earnest.

    I've already picked up loads of useful pointers and tips on here and I'm sure that will continue!
     
  2. Welcome to the Asylum :)

    Best to know what you might be letting yourself in for!

    Hi from north of Barnsley.

  13. Welcome aboard the rollercoaster....:D
     
  14. Hi guys,
    Thanks for all the welcomes. Yes we would be planning on taking it camping but with a tent as opposed to sleeping in it. That works for us with our current bus.
    Techenders, love the New Forest...been going down there on and off the over 40 years!! Mother in law lives in East Boldre so often down there.
    Got a feeling we would also have to find room for tools and spare parts along with the tent though (back to my MG days) ...and allow a bit more time to get there lol!

    Unfortunately, techenders is not in the new forest, it is in Lutterworth!
    @scrooge95 is from the new forest!

    Ps. Howdy! :)

    If you're not going to camp in it, do yourself a favour and buy something better!

  19. welcome, coming on here and asking lots of questions is the best decision you've made, before diving in and buying one of these quirky old vans.

    my initial advice is wait a bit as prices seems to be falling and work out your budget and stick to it.
     
  20. tell us what your current bus is and why you want another one.
