Hello, very excited about my new '73 Super-viking camper. Needs a LOT of TLC, but on the whole its perfect (for us anyway). Just found this site, and very excited about it all. Its been 20 years since I owned my last one - but now, older and wiser, I am really appreciating it. Not sure where to start with it all, so taking it in for a service on Monday, and seeing what comes of it. Any tips, advice or help to know what to ask/look out for would be very welcomed! I stopped a lady in the street who put me onto the garage, such a friendly lot these VW Camper types! Good to be here!
Welcome to the forum fella....pity you signed up this afternoon, we had a meet over at Tatton Park, about 11 vans in all, excellent turnout!
I know - gutted! Found this forum through Volksworld - Tatton is only down the road too! Thanks for the welcome
Thanks everyone - its good to be here. Managed to change profile pic, so I can introduce 'Vern', or 'Big Vern' as he is known. He came to us as Katy, but had gender reassignment. We're in South Manchester (might even be Cheshire technically). Vern is currently having a sleep-over at South Manchester Aircooled where he's getting a service and having various bits done. Stef told me he 'ran like a dog' - I thought he ran ok - show's what I know! Next job is he needs new roof struts, and a leisure battery. Also want to get the mains hookup wired in. But as I don't know what I'm talking about, anyone who can advise/point me in the right direction - I'd like to hear from you! Want to get the interior done by spring so we can start camping. Its all in pretty good nick, but apart from a ropey two burner/grill under what would have been the buddy seat (seats go around 3 sides) there's no other amenities. Thanks again. This is fab.
Hello from a fellow super viking owner (we have Arthur, '76) - truly the most supreme of all conversions O0 We're just down the road from you in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Hope to meet you and Big Vern at the TLB Northern Spring Camp?! Zoe
Whereabouts Lord Nufink? Thanks Zoe, would love more details if you have the time? will I find it on here? will do a search. Bern, was that the very beautiful one? I'm back there tomorrow morning to pick Vern up. If our paths cross, say hi won't you?! Aww Dinky - I love the sparkly Christmassy welcome!
