Buying a campervan \ mobile home for the holidays?

We are doing the same thing at the moment.

We have bought a '74 VW Campervan and leave next week for a 4 week trip.

I joined https://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk for the year (around £30) and they have been most useful. I have saved money on insurance with them and they have fantastic guides and a travel help service and helpful forums too.

They will also be able to supply you with a Camping Card International for £4.50, which gives you discounts at many campsites in Europe.

We've booked our ferry through Norfolkline - Dover to Dunkirque, for £58 return! https://travel.norfolkline.com/default.asp

Happy camping!

Randy - I'm so envious!

We've got a '74 VW Campervan (Bungle) and have just returned from three weeks touring in Scotland. I'm so fed up at being back home.

I wish I was going off for four weeks! (did go to Vanfest last weekend though - VW camper heaven)

Have fun....

I know this is not what you are looking to do and it is not really moneysaving, but can you hire campervans or is it very expensive?

You can hire VW campervans in this country but not to take abroad (as far as I know. If you are looking to hire out an old VW let me know and I will find you some links - there are several companies. I researched it a coupld of years ago - I was thinking about setting up a business doing the same - and at that thime it was about £400 per week (not moneysaving, but GREAT experience!) but I am sure that prices have gone up since then.

Let me know if you want links - I think there are at least five companies and will have to engage the brain cells to think of what they were all called.
