Hi, well the 6 berth caravan is sold, the 1956 Morris Minor split screen is up for sale (£1,750 ovno if your interested) as is the large frame tent! The proceeds from these will help us buy our first camper - probably a 1970's Type 2 for between £4k-£7k, or should it be a more more recent T25 for £10-£12k, or perhaps one of the brand new VW type 2's made in Brazil/Mexico for £17k++ or are we wrong to be limiting ourselves to a VW? We're planning a 3 week tour of France next summer so we're in no rush. Would appreciate as much advice as we can get.

Not if it's a campervan you're after.
If it isn't a VW then it isn't a campervan, IMO, (no H  ). |

Hi Waggy-Sam
We spent years of humming and haaring before we made the decision to buy an autospleeper VWT4 SWB.
After 2 seasons and thousands of miles we love it. Its a camper van that thinks its a car, or a car that thinks its a camper.
Our son has a T2 'Bay' He paid too much for it, and has spent a small fortune getting it roadworthy, but he loves it and won't change for a more modern conversion.
So its horses for courses, but whichever you go for, you will be able to park in a normal car park, oh and not to mention those awkward gates into farmers fields. Did I mention fuel Economy? etc etc

We've probably got the same as fellman - a Autosleeper Trident on T4 and can totally agree withhim - a great drive - power steering and a nippy 1.9turbo diesel. AND with the advent of the new T5 you can say that a T4 is a classic
