We are thinking of buying a van and converting it into a camper van. I have seen quite a few around East Dulwich and wondered if anyone had any advice as to what type of van to buy. We have a 4 year old daughter, my other half surfs and do we would need to fit quite a lot in it!


Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.

vw do factory built campers now and they are worth looking at as they use every inch of available space. its called the vw california. they have been doing them for a few years so you can get some good deals second hand.


but there are also some great conversions out there.


my top tip would be to rent one (or a few different ones) to get an idea of what layout works for you. at the least id recommend going to see campervantastic who have lots of different vans (both for sale and for rent) and are keen campers too.


and go for the most modern, reliable one you can afford! we did the whole vintage camper thing and we much prefer our modern one though its obviously not as pretty!

      That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

      Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

      Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
