Post by Martin Lloyd Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:54 am

Hello All,
I'm Martin from Devon. I'm looking to purchase my very first camper/motorhome as soon as possible and have decided on a VW Auto-Sleeper Trooper, budget-wise, probably the 2.4 diesel from between 1994-1999. It will be my only vehicle and will be used on a daily basis.
Any advice or tips to look out for would be very welcome. Or if anyone knows of a good one for sale, please let me know.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Welcome to the forum, When, or even before you get your MH, any problems, you only have to ask and someone out there may have an answer.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the great welcome and the helpful links-it's much appreciated. I'm going to view one locally today which is a little over budget, there was also one for sale on these boards at around my budget, I've left a message for the seller (a lady called Barbara) but no reply as yet, does anyone here know her?
I'll keep you posted!

Beware. smile! When we were looking to buy our van we went to look at one "over budget". We couldn't resist it so we bought it. But we don't regret it at all.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for your welcomes a couple of weeks ago when I was searching for a MH.

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up my 1998 2.4 diesel Trooper yesterday. I'll post a couple of questions in the relevant forums.

Cheers,

Martin

Great to hear you got your van, That is a great feeling when you drive away after picking up your new van.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do ours. allthumbz
