Seller was very diplomatic with the truth to be honest.

He said on the phone, we could pull it apart, turn it upside down, or whatever.................and we wouldn,t find a thing wrong with it.

Its amazing what can be done with some fibregalss around the out riggers. The amount of filler repair must have taken far longer than welding in the right panels.

Owner says it cost him 8.5 k to put the camper there, in that condition. He knew where the filler was all the same. I,d say he is trying to recoup what he can from a sale.

Long way to go, but the grub was good in Adare, and the company was spot on.

why is it that kerry is always a LONG way to go to look at anything regardless of wether its a rust bucket or not .
when i was selling good T25s thats all i got on the phone (oh kerry thats very far away) yet the same people would quite happily go to england and buy a camper there
often getting screwed into the bargin .

Very true. Personally we take every opportunity to head in the direction of Kerry:D So if you have a good T25 you want moving we will gladly come down.

I just find John that you can start with 10k to buy a van and traveling around the country and coming back empty handed can really eat away at your budget.ive found that sometimes you can travel down the country with a mate to drive it back and between fuel and breakfast and dinner for you and your companion you can be €200 quid shy by the time you get back.

You have to invest time and money if you want to purchase something, no other way around it really. Its part and parcel of the process. I dont see any alternative to it. Flask and sambos:D

And the celebratory dinner on the way home.And the Kerry scenery, sure what more do you want out of life:D
