Hello everyone. I'm Ed Cayton, nearly 60 and a retired college lecturer. I live in Stevenage and at the moment have a 1995 VW T4 which started life as a Caravelle and was converted to a camper using Reimo parts. She has done over 200000 miles and is a little tired (!) now.
I have come into some money and want to treat myself to a new toy before my health goes completely-recently had a heart attack and spent a month in hospital. The kids are OK and they'll get the house; been divorced for 4 years now, so there's just me and Alfie, my resue Alsation.
Basically I'm stuck choosing between a 2009 Trident and a 2013 VW Californian. They are very different beasts and each has a lot going for it. I suspect I know what the advice here would be! None the less, any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks

Ed

Hi, As you would expect,go for the Auto Sleeper.
Its got a VW engine so no problems there.
30,000 pounds would get a nice one.
