So now its the choice of what conversion and which engine?

Ours is a 2.4 non turbo diesel - given the funds I would rather the 2.5 turbo which is much quicker and possibly more economical. Autosleepers are both well thought out and put together.

Happy hunting!

Have found a T25 that I really want to get ..... but my daughter has to go back into hospital, so the money saved is going to have to go towards financing that for now.

Thanks for all of your help on this thread though!

Thanks guys. Not right section of the board to put this on really - but the webbys can always delete it.

My little girl is 7 and had a heart transplant in August 2006. She had a really hard time for the first 8 months post transplant as she inherited a virus from her donor (nothing too sinister though).

She has to have regular blood tests and her bloods haven't been right now for a couple of months at least. She's got to have investigations to check for lymphatic cancer now ..... don't know when she is going to get a break!

Hoping for the best ... but fearing the worst as she isn't right at the moment, the hospital being worried is enough to make us the same.

Life's a real bu**er at times. Thanks for your kind wishes.

Steve

Well guys ...... life's too short and all of that. I'm going to look at the T25 on Saturday, and as long as all is ok, I'll be coming home with her too.

As my previous post said, I went to look at the Bus yesterday and came home with her.

I am now the proud owner of a 1980 T25 2 litre Viking. She is orange and needs a few bits and pieces done, but on the whole is really solid.

My little girl is totally over the moon because she has wanted us to get a camper for so long. So, even if things don't go so well with her over the next couple of weeks (7th November for investigations in London) then at least she knows she has to get better quickly as she has a camper at home.

Need to fit one lapbelt on the rock n roll bed (already has 2) and a 3 point on the buddy seat. Have four children most of the time and want to make sure that they are secure. Just got to go off and source them now.

Thanks guys for all of your help. I'm pleased that we got the T25 and not the T2.

Any further advice will be very gratefully received!!

Steve
