  I imagine most of the old Transit based campers have rotted away by now but if you do find one there is a big owners' club & spares available. Look out for 80s Talbot based campers as well.

No, we haven't all rotted away yet.

There was an Autosleeper Frisky like mine on e-bay last week.

I wouldn't get a Talbot - horrible things to drive unless you are quite tall.

There's a coupe of Renault based Autosleepers similar to my Frisky on e-bay now:

This one.

This one.

How about an early 90's T4 if you want to stick with a VW?

if the price of a T25 is too rich than you can sure rule out T4s as they are crazy prices.... as mentioned early toyotas or bedford mite be a good idea they tend to come up on ebay quite often

The worst thing that I found with my Talbot was that it did not have power steering. It also had probably the worst turning circle of any van that I have owned.

The 2.5L engine is bomb proof and would take you to the Moon and back

Watch out for rot around the front windscreen: Talbots are very prone to that and it is a very expensive repair
