Hi everyone. I was given this link by Shoe County Dubbers - they said you were nice people and I should pop over and say HI! I'm living in Kettering and looking to buy my first campervan. I'm looking to spend up to £5K on a late- bay. I really would appreciate any offers of advice or help and if you see anything please let me know. Ta. ;D

Hi there - welcome to the KUDC! I'll keep my ear to the ground about any campers for sale...might also be an idea to look on Volkszone, as you'll find alot of stuff for sale on there. Good luck with your search. Feel free to pop along to our next meet - Tues 25th August @ Hobson's Choice - 7.30pm onwards. Looby

Thanks everyone. Can't wait to get my bus but there are so few out there in my price range at the moment! Will pop along to Hobson's Choice as soon as I get one. Couldn't turn up without one - it'd be like going to a party without a present

Welcome to KUDC. wish you good luck in finding a cool camper. a little tip, ask if they are in a club, if so they may have put details on their club forum of problems they have had with the camper. Also take another person with you ideally someone who is a little out spoken, if it comes to the point where you want to buy this will give you a psychological edge (i think thats who you spell it) over the seller and they will feel pushed into giving you a better price. see you and your new camper at the next meet. ;D

I saw it too but by the time I'd got my finances in place it had gone! Serves me right for being so sensible

Don't know how to add pics but will have a go. She's a 1972 T2 Devon Devonette Pop-top. She was imported from Jersey in1988 so had a relatively easy time of it climate-wise. Got her from Malvern, Worcs on Saturday. Only primed at the mo so now the big question - what colour do we get her sprayed?
