In the market.....!

Evening lads and lassies,

Have been rooting around learning bit by bit, so thank you for that!

We're based in Meath, have been looking for a camper for a while...

Short term, something to get out and about in Ireland in, but longer term would like to get to the continent for a few weeks at a time.

Can I ask, do you think that's realistic in something like a 96 transit? (Rimor body?) Or better going up the years a few?

Any we've looked at so far have been ruled out either for damp or too little a payload... Which was ruled more out than I would've expected!

Agree!

Out of interest... At what point is rust beyond reasonable... Guessing we're going to see bits of surface rust etc. but can that be treated and sealed? Or once there's any is it too late?

Oh we know we love it, bitten by the big before...

It is a bit disheartening out there though. We're pretty much driving around doing free hab checks for sponges on wheels

Might be longer at this search than I initially thought!

Thanks a mill Sprinter! Might have to have a snoop around alright! I know mobile.de and eurocamping something... (And I've left my info with Pat B in Waterford)... Any others I should look at?

As you say, damp is your biggest concern. Surface rust is unavoidable and easily treated. Set your budget and just hope luck is on your side. Best move we ever made.

I would advise adding 20/22% on the sale price of anything your looking at.
The reason, VRT, tax/ins, transport out /shipping home, maybe adding Solar, outfitting it.
Consider looking close to an Airport or port, going to check it out, having some local look it over.

Hi folks, hope you're getting to enjoy the sun! Quick question, will a painless damp meter be capable of detecting damp on a fiberglass construction?

It has a index function that does moisture comparatively so I'm figuring that'll be indicative. Thanks a mill for replies I'm advance!

Good you know how to spot it, hope you get a good one soon, a lot of crap out there
