Thread Name: BS: Campervans (UK)
Subject: RE: BS: Campervans (UK)
Very interesting - all things to all men!! And women I suppose, seriously we had a Gobur folding caravan before someone pinched it last year) and it was great, especially when towing and they make them and sell 2nd hand ones in Norfolk. We replaced it with a folding camper, with loo, EHU, etc but canvas sides and a solid roof. The living space feels bigger than the folder but then we have the worry of only really folding it down whan it's dry, usually not a problem now we're retired. We've always had to store our outfit on a storage site, the one at Bessingham at present but it's £200 per year, however security is important, especially after being robbed! We didn't ever buy a campervan as it would have to be our only vehicle so the cons outweighed the pros!
Someone is selling a biggish campervan at the end of our road for £8,500 o.n.o. and I keep on looking at it wistfully but I think overall I'll have to stay with the folding camper, yes if Ernie comes up trumps that's a different matter.
