seeking help and advise for complete novice on camper vans

[Suz Big Wagon………………………………………..]

As a novice campervanner.
With the experience that MGR has behind him i can understand his advice to buy a base van to convert and at the stage im at i would too but if you really are a rookie i wouldnt rule out buying a coach-built camper for your first one. The thing is they hold there price, even at the bottom end…as evidenced by the ticket on this Talbot you’ve been offered. And if you want to begin your trip this year rather than sourcing and then squaring up to a self build, id go for one ready to roll if i were you. That way you get to know what you want, you’ll get your money back next spring, and it’ll give you time to get your head around a self build if you decide to go down that route.
The Talbot i had was diesel and only returned 29mph at best. it really was a rubbish van. And yep MGR your right it was a Peugeot engine..
Insurance btw isnt too bad if you go with a specialist broker. Im happy with 2gether Insurance based in Wisbech. Comprehensive policy with 180 day european cover and 5* breakdown in europe £340. Not too bad at all i think

So, between us i hope we havent put you off. Good luck and keep asking questions!

Regards Suz

As the others guys have said,
As the others guys have said, if you can convert a campervan yourself then you’ll get more for your money. However, if you just want to buy one then take a look at these examples I have found. You mention fishing Ireland, but also pounds, so I assume you are in Northern Ireland, so I have done a search around Belfast, apologies if not.
