Oh no, it's gone ....

We had very mixed feelings seeing our Romahome go off to a new home this afternoon. I'm pleased to get the driveway back, because it was a nuisance to have it blocked all year round, to use the camper for maybe 4 festivals / 15 days, but on the other hand I'm trying not to think too much about going back into a tent and having to ca**.

I'm sure we will revisit motorhoming at some stage, but probably when one or both of us is no longer working.

What are the secondhand options at the £15-20k level, any make? I've seen a VW T5 think it was an Autosleeper, v impressive design, what are T4s like?

Just to add to those Qs, how does Auto Sleeper rate generally? What are the Mercs (well, old Mercs!) and Ladas of the campvervan / motorhome world? If I was looking from 2000 and younger.

I know someone who had a merc campervan, it was very nice, but glugged petrol like there was no tomorrow. OK if you're a millionaire! LOL.

I was sorry to see my little camper go too.

I personally like the T4's, very well designed. The prob seems to be the engine, which is air-cooled on some and prone to overheating from what I remember reading about them.

Thanks but I'm not in the market for one, I'm just interested, for the future, in what the options are for well-designed high-top campervans / motorhomes, I particularly like the T5 Topaz for example.

In addition to that, I'm interested in what the spectrum is from higher to lower quality conversion specialists.

I forgot to say, I'm just looking at 2 berth vehicles.

Are there any tables of mpg for different campers/motorhomes?
