Good morning all,

We are a family of 4 and a lab currently have a VW t5 camper van but looking to upgrade to a demountable, joined the FB group looking for advice and researching what would best suit us. Looking forward to seeing what people have and advice!

Thanks

Matt

Late hello sorry,
Keep monitoring the sales thread of course, family dictates a crewcab 4x4 (obviously) but almost all campers on sale are designed to fit those anyway so that's good,
next is are you prepared to travel to Germany or France as both have a buoyant market and usually offer both camper & vehicle sold together, pickup will be LHD of course though if you plan on holidaying abroad that would be ideal
however,
depending on your budget there are a couple of options here in UK to buy new and possibly buying used through same
so if you haven't already then have a scan of our buyers guides so you have your questions to hand for viewing campers.
lastly please don't get rushed into buying from auction sites, if it looks a bargain it's probably a damp heap you'll regret selling that VW

keep asking here, no question too stupid (we've all been there)

Northstar are a good camper yes, popular as used units and if looked after, holding their resale value for later on.

Not a great deal known to go wrong with them we have a few amongst our membership, there's a dealership in Louth Lincolnshire
http://www.niche-marketing.net/ Greg is having a push on Gumtree just at the moment and I think he has a couple of trucks for sale to go with selection of campers if that helps
Northstar have an ever so slightly different attachment method to rest of world but it works well apparently,


just be sure and check Niche are to be open before making your way across country
