cn150 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 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.

Bob Buzzard Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 You're having a laugh mate - you can't hire a camper van for at least less than half a ton.

cn150 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Oh, ok, what would be a more reasonable price to offer? Does anyone know? ?200 perhaps???

cn150 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 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.

Bob Buzzard Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 it's probably reasonable to ask though - are you looking for mates' rates on the van hire?

cn150 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well, I just thought I'd ask in case anyone isn't using their van next week. I'll just pack up the tent and load the trailer then.

cn150 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I just spoke with my wife and she says she'll give me ?100 cash towards the van hire so I can now offer ?325 for the week.

Spencer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 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.

cn150 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/68704-camper-van-wanted-for-holiday/#findComment-881503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn150 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 The sharing economy does work! We had a lovely week away in the camper van on a Camping & Caravanning certificated site in Pembrokeshire - cheers.
