We will shortly be getting rid of our works 12 year old Transit and I remember when we got rid of an old patient transport ambulance, someone bought it and converted it into a camper van. He told me the basics were simple - you just get the internals from a scrap caravan and design things yourself.
Another work acquaintance has just bought a new camper van after they had cleared their house mortgage. has taken it on a 10 year loan which apparently is quite common as it is a second home rather than a vehicle as such.
I then look on autotrader and see that where the van itself would be pennies, the fact that it has been converted to a campervan puts it up to silly money. Just saw an 11 plate Vivaro for around £18k!
Anyone got camper vans or experience of them? Are they moneypits or do you actually not lose much at all based on the used prices?
