Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 uh oh , we only went to have a look and ended up buying a VW autosleeper clubman, year 2000, 2.4 diesel engine, just over 32000 on the clock, exactly the same as this one but we got it for £18000 plus £50 to spend in the camping shop! Well, we've done it now! http://www.becksmotorhomes.com/vehicle/2000-autosleeper-clubman-motorcaravan We're really excited but scared as it's more than we wanted to spend but what the hell! What have we done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 thank you i'll upload some pics of our one later but it's exactly the same as the link, apart from ours is 2.4 engine not 2.5 I think I've gone insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Oooh, that looks wonderful, look at the shiney cooker! What do you do if you want to go anywhere while you're on holiday though? Do you have to tie everything down inside, drive off and hope no-one nicks your pitch? Or do you just stay put? I've only ever done camping or caravanning so I don't know how motorhomes work in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you just stay put? . not sure, i guess i'll have to find a camper van forum and ask I think you can get signs on e bay to say your spot is taken but i think we'll probably use public transport if we want to go out, not sure yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Poet to OH: "Let's get some more chooks!" OH to Poet: "But where will we put them, my sweet?" Poet to OH: "They could go in the camper van until they get integrated?!" Before you know it you'll be like Jimmy's farm with the chook caravans! The campervan looks fab. I'm . Looks much more comfy than our tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 just planning our first trip, we're going to Abersoch! I've never been the sort of person to rush into anything so i can't quite believe this is happening! p.s. Lesley, the 2 front seats turn round and form the top of the bed then the sofas pull out to form the rest of the bed. There's a little table that slots into that hole you can see on the floor for when you want a cupa or something to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 oooh how exciting We would love one of these but would have to have some huge thing for our family so maybe when they fly the nest. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow, you and OH don't half move fast, Poet . That looks absolutely brilliant . Can I come and explore it and find all the clever wee inventions for keeping stuff in (& stopping stuff falling over ). (I love holiday houses/caravans and spend hours exploring them .) We need to see a photo of the bed made up please . (Hope this takes your mind off things a bit - darn it, I've just reminded you ) PS This is where you're staying when you come to Edinburgh . It's 15 minutes walk from my house (we walk Riley through the Aboretum - look at the virtual tour!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
