I am flying into the U.K from the U.S on Sept. 23 to look for a VW camper van to live in while I surf the coasts of France, Spain and Portugal and Morocco. I am a veteran of surf trips but COMPLETE newbie in the world of VW campers.
I recognize that my brothers and sisters in Europe are the experts in this kind of trip, hence my post in a UK forum.
Please advise as to the best kind of VW camper model, year for this kind of trip. One of the more pressing issues is whether to get a diesel or gasoline powered van. Reliability is clearly a concern, and though I have no problem getting down and dirty, the reality is that my mechanical skills at this point are LOW.
You can send me a private message and I would even be happy to call you from the U.S. Anyone who has done this trip with some sage advise will be rewarded with surf karma for years to come.
Much thanks in advance,
Aaron
