Dear motorhomers,
I am thinking about purchasing a 1992 volkswagen clubman GL. Has anyone any hints and tips for when I view? or about using the van?
Thanks

Hi Lem,
Welcome to MHF and a wealth of information.
Firstly, I think your choice is brilliant ..... but then I am a VW fanatic
What are your requirements regarding using the vehicle?

hi,
I don't know anything about that particular model but we have an Autosleepers Topaz reg 2001 and it is a great van. From what I have gleaned from this site, Autosleepers is a great brand name, very well appointed etc.
So good luck with your purchase and many happy miles in it!

Hi , we owned a 93 model on VW T 4 chassis , 2.4 diesel AUTOMATIC , until recently , excellent, but 70 mph is maximum ,and auto boxes are "fragile". As a first MH after caravanning, we got the bug and sold the A/S to buy a Hymer Exsis . We sold for £11,200 , but had at least 15 enquirues ( Auto Trader ad)
Hope this helps

I was wondering if breakdown assistance should be purchased? also, has anyone fitted reversing sensors or cameras?
Hi Lem
Yes to breakdown assistance. Sometimes, this is included in your insurance. Otherwise, we've got Green Flag - they were very good when we picked up a puncture in France.
I was going to fit a camera, and bought the bits off Ebay, but never really found the need once I'd got used to it. We now have PMRs (Personal Mobile radios), so Annie can look out for my rear end when I'm backing into the garden

Hi. we bought our A/S Clubman last April and love it,(her ?) to bits, we were dedicated Romahome addicts, having owned 5 over the years, but needed a bit more space. The A/S is gorgeous, well built, beautifully designed,and drives likea dream. However,,,,ours is also a 1994 Model and had only covered 48000 miles,with the last three years only having covered 1000 miles, so the engine needed to be run, consequently we suffered a cracked cylinderhead, resultng in a new engine, they need to be driven, these lovely vehicles,so make sure you have a warranty when you buy your lovely 'lady of the road' but you will love her and have some wonderful holidays with her, as we have, all year round,,,,,,Jack & Patty, Cornwall

A woman's work is never done, eh Annie!!
One tip whether or not you do fit a reversing camera Lem. Be aware of the top of the van. It's not only bollards you need to avoid - low branches and the gutter on the front porch are also traps for the unwary.
More autosleepers - yippee! There's also a very good club. Not web site such as this. but hot on the rallies and help. Still well linked to the manufacturer, who are involved.
