Hi, I'm new to this forum and currently looking for a bay window camper. I've been swotting up on what I should be looking for, but before I buy I'd like to get a look at some van's first.

Who can point me in the right direction for any shows, meets etc in the NW where I can have a look around to get a better feel?

I'm already worried I'm going to get a complete dog as I only have an initial outlay budget of £2500, but the more I look at the more I'm prepared (I hope).

Thanks.

went to tatton and had a very hot good day
but the prices of buses :eek:
it seems 18k is fast becoming going rate to ask for a really good Split and 8K for a top Bay
does anyone actually pay 18K for a bus? if so how can I get a job like theirs
oh well at least I get to take the pics...

Typical - only read the replies this morning so I've missed the show, and its only a short drive from where I live.

But if 8k is the right price for a decent one, I think I'd better leave it if I'm only going up to 2.5k or it really will be an albatross.

Any other shows?

Any Good???????????????? :eek:

VanFest is "THE" Van Show to go to, It's a monster show for the Van enthusiast. I would not miss it if I we're you. :)

If you wernt impressed by BVF, then you may not like Vanfest. Sure its twice or three times as big, and is Type 2 specific, but what was it that you didnt like?
The showground is the same, and the 'entertainment' is similar ......

Me? I love it, but you may not, I guess, if youre more of a Bug Jam/RTTS person?

no i'm a vw fanatic who doesnt like bad at***ude from show organisers or rip off ticket prices for what was essentially a very small show, ie not many vw related trade stands, nothing realy going on day or evening. the only good point was meeting up with some friends from the north.
