Being in a wheelchair means i can only drive an Automatic and i am not working at the momment so money is tight but my father had a camper when i was young and i loved it so now being older i fancy one myself but only problem i have came across is i cant find a good automatic at a half decent price ? i have thought about buying an American RV but i am worried about high insurance and finding parts etc for it ? can anyone point me in the right direction i always like the look of the VW type 2 vans only problem is auto ones of these are like hens teeth very rare i also like the C class vans as they have a toliet etc ?

Both Ford and Sevel (Fiat/Citroen/Peogot) have supplied Auto chassis cabs to motorhome converters/builders but they do tend to be quite rare. I'm afraid it's just a case of checking the magazines.
American R.V's are virtually exclusively auto and 'left hookers' though I have seen the odd 'right hooker'. God knows what that cost to convert ! ?

The left hand drive thing wouldnt bother me that much i could live with it ? only problem is the american ones only get about 12 miles per gallon of petrol ? and theres some done with LPG but i plan to do a lot of touring the north of scotland and finding a petrol station there is hard enough without having to try to find one with LPG ?
