Also went to Campbells (Kirkham branch) & a few hundred yards away there is a firm selling off LWB white vans that seemed very reasonably priced but don't know what condition they are. They looked ok in psaaing but obviously they have been used by "White van men" There were quite a few Dave.

looking for a 2000 or newer LWB Relay, Boxer, Ducato, Iveco or Merc, new type Transit.

Home build or pro build or even a good van to convert

What about a Transit ? you havent mentioned it and parts are easy to come by.

Also the most important point how much are you looking to spend?  you must have a figure in mind.

Yes could include a Transit.

Hi Omega,

Are you looking to convert from caravan to motorhome? If so - I am sure you will love the lifestyle and the freedom a campervan will give you. Not saying you do not have freedom and enjoyment with a caravan by the way cos you do but with a campervan it is somewhat different and if you like the idea of wild camping a campervan will certainly open up some wonderful opportunities. I am at my happiest when we tour around and can just park up in some wonderfully remote or beautiful location and we have all our home comforts to hand and if we decide there and then to stay put we can as we have everything with us. I love the total freedom of wild camping and do find I get a little bored on campsites after a couple of days. I think I prefer wild camping more than anything and just love not knowing where we may end up. We are touring Morocco this winter and will get the opportunity to wild camp most of the time and we just cannot wait.

Good look with your search Omega and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Looking for a camper van Sue, a LWB conversion, but having trouble finding one.

Hi Carol,

Yes we have both got one - I have a ladies powerbyke shopper and hubby a gents powerbyke.  They are brilliant and although I was absolutely terrified the first time I got on mine - my husband was laughing at me you know - he said I looked petrified and all my body was stiff ha ha.  I quickly got used to it though and before long I was whizzing along with a smile on my face.  They make for a great way of getting around especially for anyone with mobility problems and with my dodgy knees it was perfect. We recently used them around York when we stopped there for a couple of nights and it was brilliant fun. I dont like being on the road much I prefer to use cycle routes - I just dont feel safe on busy roads. However, quiet country roads and around pretty villages does not bother me at all. Once fully charged you can go for approx 20 miles before you need to recharge but if the battery does run out you can always pedal back lol. When going up hills you do need to pedal assist the motor in order to get up it but because you have an electric motor it really is quite easy. If you are thinking of getting one I think the Powabyke cycles have probably got one of the better reputations as I know some of the cheaper foreign imports on the market people have had a lot of problems with them. I got mine new but my husband managed to pick one up second hand for half the price and it is perfectly ok - no problems with it. He did buy a new battery for it recently though as he felt the one on it was probably ready for replacing. That cost him £70 from a local cycle dealer. Not cheap I know!  Anyway, if you are looking to buy an electric bike then you wont be dissapointed with the Powerbyke.

Love

Sue
