Camper van wanted for holiday


cn150

Recommended Posts

Can I borrow anyone's camper van for a family trip (3 kids and dog) to Pembrokeshire next week? My wife has just said she is sick of camping in tents and wants me to sort something else out. I'd prefer an old VW like an orange Westfalia conversion, though I would consider a well-maintained Bongo as well. In return I can pay ?75 (100 at a push) for the week, and you can use my car whilst we're away (Peugeot 406 estate) so long as you have insurance, and I'll try to clean the van at the end of the holiday.

Thanks for the link - but ?675 for the week in the summer!? I can't afford that. I read about the new sharing economy in the Guardian last week - doesn't anyone want to share their camper van with me and my family? There must be someone - I always see them just parked on the roads around East Dulwich, just sitting there, not being used. I could go up to ?225-250 and I'll definitely take it the car washers at Sainsbury's at the end of the holiday.

I have a 1986 camper you can have for 375 a week, it is not one of those nice seventies ones, we couldn't afford one those and we have been looking at buying an estate car recently due to a growing family.


Does the estate car have a dab radio though? We only listen to radio 6 music, this is a must have.

Ok, what is it though? Is it a VW? I don't want one of those horrible beige 1980s Talbots. If it's a VW I can meet you at ?350. I've got a DAB radio that runs on 12v so I can leave in the car for you. If you're interested PM me with your address and I'll come round with the car and the cash and take the camper. We'll be back next Sunday - cheers.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
