  • I know nothing about campervans.

    Next year, I would like to use a campervan for a long weekend over August bank holiday. Hiring a van for this period seems to be around £800. I'm likely to do this about 4 years in a row.

    Can I buy a campervan for around £3000 that will last 4-5 years? What are the top things I'd need to look out for? Needs to have 2 beds+space for baby. Needs to be mechanically sound, can be cosmetically unsound.

    Or does anyone know cheap hire places?

  • I've had a couple of VW T25s at around the £5k price point. They wer both fine but did require regular maintenance at a cost. For £3k frankly I think you will struggle to get anything that will be trouble free over 4-5 years, it will need maintenance and investment.

  • Tried Camperbug? We hired a Cali for a week or so, think it was about £800, took it France, was rad.

    Feels a bit like flying by the seat of your pants compared to Airbnb, mind.
