We bought a VW T4 with my lump sum when we retired 9 years ago. We had two cars then , a Volvo estate for long trips and an old Honda Civic for trips around home. we sold the Volvo, updated the Civic and the camper an became our second car if needed. It takes up the same space as the Volvo did on our drive. Sadly this camper van was stolen but we bought another one , fitted a steering lock and a security post on our drive and paid the same as we did for the first one, £12,500, most of this was from our insurance .Alfie' is a petrol driven pop top T4 and an easier drive than the stolen one, a diesel. I made the curtaisns(fiddly!) , added more cup hooks, bought a one ring electric hob , so never bother with gas unless we want a cuppa en route, and we love her! Just back from our first few days away this year , great timing with the wether , and looking forward to our month in France in June. The size of her means she can get into most car parks easily and can be driven along lanes which bigger ones can't reach.Go for it...it's great!
