we are purchasing a vw camper next year t4/t5, is it safe to buy off ebay,or would it be safer to buy from a registered dealer ?,also do we but a converted van or buy a van to convert ? any help would be appreciated. what is the standard voltage for electric hook ups for a vw camper
van and two teenagers anyone got advice for campervan novice? I am looking for a campervan for occasional long weekends ( wife and myself)and a couple of annual long trips with my wife and two teenage children. One is a lanky 5’10”. So question. Are there any vans around that children could comfortably sleep up top in? Must be others who have had similar and I don’t want to buy an over the cab monster. Thanks. Steve.
If you have the time and skills to do a conversion then do it! You wil save money and have a van to suits your needs. But it takes a long time. If you need a campervan right away then buy it already converted.
Electric hook ups are 240 volts, just like a house.
