Hi All,

If anyone is looking for a triple bunk six berth caravan I will be selling our one around May / June. Just waiting on a delivery date for the replacement.

Caravelair Anteres Lux 496 from 2008.

Very easy to tow and as light as you will get for a six berth caravan. 1010kg MIRO and 1250kg maximum weight.

Sleeping:
Triple bunk to rear with side dinette that makes into a single bed.
U shaped lounge seating in the from makes into a king size double bed.

Bathroom:
Mid caravan wet room bathroom with shower sink and toilet. The toilet cassette was replaced in the last two years as seals were getting a little sticky on the original and the ‘thetford fresh up kit’ including brand new cassette and toilet seat wasn’t a whole lot more than the seals by themselves. Toilet has electronic flush rather than the manual hand pump on the 2006/2007 models. Large integrated fresh water holding tank for the toilet also. Bathroom skylight will be brand new as replacement on order due to handles on original getting brittle.

Kitchen:
Mid caravan kitchen with 3 way fridge and 3 hob gas burner. Overhead storage lockers, and low-level pot cupboard and cutlery drawer.
Carver Electric water heater.

General:
Reading light installed in each bunk bed. Additional LED spotlights installed in lounge area for reading at night. Ceiling and kitchen lights upgraded to LED.
New Heki skylight in lounge area last year.
Lots of storage with high level cupboards front and rear and large shelved wardrobe beside the bathroom. Storage under all seats also.
Cassette blinds on all windows with black out blinds and fly screens. Privacy net curtains on all windows and original curtains all present.

Externally:
Powrtouch auto engage motor mover installed.
Anti-sway tow hitch installed. New tires in the last two years.
Spare wheel and jack present in front locker, where the gas bottle and water barrel are stored. Lightweight full size calor gas bottle can be included.
2 bike rack on front A frame installed two years ago. Also have the original plastic fairing for the A frame if the bike rack is not needed. Easily removed.
External socket on awning side of caravan.
New full size awning purchased from Charles camping in June 2020, so very little use.
Hitch cover and caravan cover included.
7 N & S power sockets allowing the battery to be charged and fridge kept cool while towing.

This is a really well looked after family caravan and has served us brilliantly as a family with 3 kids. The eldest is getting a little big for the height of the bunks at this stage, which is the only reason for changing it. No damp. Originally purchased in Charles camping and we are the second owners, having bought it in 2012.

Price is €10500 including awning, bike rack, step, water barrel and waste master waste water container, hitch cover and caravan cover. All you need to go on fantastic family adventures is your own bedding, clothes, food and utensils. Not interested in low ball offers so please don’t waste your time sending any. If you are genuinely interested send me a PM and I’ll get pictures to you as soon as I can.

I don’t have photos ready yet as the caravan is not stored at my house. I will have a valid reason to be in the area in the next two weeks and will prepare pictures then.

Not advertised elsewhere yet, but will be when I have the pictures ready.

Guru Maith Agut · 20-07-2021 3:53pm

Hi all. Considering a motorhome purchase.. About to semi-retire and will have a lot of spare time on our (wife and I) hands. Love travelling and seeing new places within our wee country but also would like to be able to see more of France and Spain. Only a B license holder, but I know the vast majority of "normal sized" motorhomes are within my license category nowadays.

Have done a few Google searches for Motorhome sellers in Ireland, but hoping someone here can point me in the right direction as to where I should start looking. I've noticed a few of the sites I was on already and very "Message us for enquiry" type sellers. I'd rather have a fair idea of price before putting finger to email.

Happy to buy new, albeit with finance. I guess if you start with a brand new motorhome you will get a long time out of it before having to worry about general ware and tear probabilities?

Looking forward to your suggestions and assistance. Thanks 😊

oinkely · 22-02-2022 11:08am

Hi All,

Just a quick post in case anyone is looking for a 2 berth motorhome. My parents have just bought a new one and have a 2006 Hobby 2 berth for sale. It's on a ford transit. Just passed DOE in the last two weeks.

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/motorhome-details/202111019119476?advertising-location=at_motorhomes It's the same layout as this one but with slightly different upholstery.

Fixed double bed to the rear with bathroom alongside, Separate shower cubicle. Kitchen is in the middle with a very large fridge and freezer, oven and plenty of cupboard space. seating and table are set out parallel with the sides behind the cab. Both cab seats swivel to face the table. Table can be made into a bed too i believe, but it hasn't ever been used in that configuration by them anyway. The extra cushions to make up the bed are there, just not sure how it works. There are two belted seats. Usual hobby high spec lighting and finish. Heating, hot water etc all work. Electric step and twin bike rack on rear. Note there is no awning on it. Fridge recently serviced as they use it on gas as much as electricity so wanted to be sure it was working properly.

One soft spot in the bathroom floor which i was being tasked with tackling before they decided to replace with a twin bed model given some recent medical issues making the double bed impractical for them.

Shower silicone needs to be resealed also.

Overall it's in very good condition and my parents have owned it for 6 years. They are selling as the bed layout has become impractical and they wanted to future proof as they love the campervan life and plan many more years of travelling around Ireland and France and need a twin bed layout instead of the double now.

I don't have any pictures of it at the moment but will get some at the weekend and will get a donedeal ad up then also. They are thinking in the region of €27K based on other similar ones they have seen advertised in the recent past and are open to offers. It's in Wicklow (near Brittas Bay).

Just thought I'd post it up here in advance of getting the ad together for done deal / adverts etc.

Happy to answer any questions, and send on pics once I have been out to grab them at the weekend. if anyone is keen to see it in the meantime let me know and i can arrange something.

Cheers

Maybe this is the place to post.

Anyone have a used propane / lpg gas heater. Im looking for one for a project similar to whats in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j07pv_56WJ4

My heater is giving bother in my hot tub so Im going to replace it with instant water gas heating which should heat up quicker and cheaper than replacing the tub.

Thanks

Shinsen · 01-07-2022 8:43pm

Hello all,

I see that there are many posts under this topic.

However, I need some direction for my research. I hope it is ok my message in here.

I think for the idea I have in mind is finding a caravan which is already located in some park somewhere in Ireland. As long as the place is nice and quiet, is fine. I would use it more as a holiday home rather than travelling around. Beside, I have a Fiat 500. I am not sure if my little car can pull a caravan 🙂

I would like to rent it for a few months from May until end of August or I would buy it if it is affordably priced. I am looking for a small one, for one max two people.

Could I please ask for an advice on where I should start my research?

Thank you.

First Campervan Purchase

Hi all,

I'll keep this as brief as I can. I've got 15k to spend on my first campervan and, while I'm excited at the prospect, I'm also a little overwhelmed and lost in the sea of campervan advertisements online. I'm not clued in on campervans at all. I've have a little experience with cars (did a brief stint in a garage for a few months many years ago so I have a basic idea of what to watch out for and I also am interested in cars, generally, so also keep abreast of particular issues associated with cars I may buy) but zero with campervans. I have owned vans in the past and am also licenced to drive buses and rigid trucks so, again, I have a familarity with bigger vehicles but I am no HGV mechanical expert nor do I have an iota of knowledge on the caravan-body front. So, what am I looking for?

I want it to be comfortable for both myself and my partner which means, ideally, a comfortable, fixed double bed and also some storage facilities for clothes, electronics and musical instruments (banjo, mandolin, guitar - that's my livelihood). We also like to cook all our own meals so having a good hob and food storage like cupboards and fridges/freezers is essential (a system that's economical to run would be a bonus but I'm not sure of anything other than camping canisters and large gas bottles e.g. Calor).

Heat will be important so something well insulated is a must. I'm not sure how these vans are usually heated (via the regular heater in the cabin?) and nor am I sure of what way to determine whether something has a high efficiency in this regard so I would appreciate advice on how to check this.

Lastly, the van itself would ideally have a reputation for being bulletproof in the mechanical department (engine, transmission mainly) and the body will not be severely prone to rust when looked after. I owned two Renault Masters in my time (a 2006 and 2011) both of which I found to be fantastic vans despite hearing horror stories of constant gearbox issues. I've also driven many Transits (from as early as 1999 right through to a 2018) in panel van, ice-cream van and minibus format and, whilst their reputation has often been highly regarded, I've never liked them and several I've tried have had constant electrical issues. I've also driven some Mercedes Sprinters which I find a lovely vehicle in the driver seat but have heard the bodies tend to rust easy. So, with all this information, plus completely unknown models to me such as the seemingly favoured Ducato and a variety of other vehicles unfamiliar from Hymer and such, I really don't know where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I should add that I'm also willing to pay a finder's fee if an expert would be interested in linking up and viewing some vans with me. I'm based in North Dublin.

Paddy

So much for brief....:-/

niloc1951 · 14-03-2023 6:03pm

The first thing to do is start looking at the two distinct categories, panel van conversions (both DIY done and Factory done) and coach built (the ones that look like a caravan on a light truck chassis)

After you decide which type ticks most of your boxes, none will tick all, go hunting for what you want within your budget. I wouldn't be too hung up on base vehicle type at this point, it's the selection of the accommodation layout and specification that best fits your need that is most important.

52paddy · 14-03-2023 11:12pm

Thanks for that. I've two in mind to view over the weekend. A 92 Ducato, coach body, 2.5TD. Very well serviced and kitted out but a few dents near the overhead cab.

And a 97 Dehflwatyoucallit Ducato Class A type. 97k km on the clock. Very spacious. Tested. But everything has been turned off and needs restarting in terms of electrics, gas etc...probably an easy job but I've not done it.

sflynn6 · 10-02-2024 11:27am

Hi,

I'm interested in buying a camper van but am not sure where to start. The basic requirements are:

1. It's for 2 adults and 4 children.

2. I plan to keep it and use it on the continent so I will buy it there as well.

3. I'm going to a camper convention in Prague in March and thinking of buying there , I just don't know which models I should be looking at.

4. I want to keep the camper for a long time so I'm thinking 2021 or younger.

5. I'm aslo thinking of some fuel efficient model.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thank You.

Wherever you buy, if your principal place of residence is Ireland the vehicle will have to be registered, taxed, and insured in Ireland, it will also have to undergo its CVRT here in Ireland.

However, if you own a property, such as an apartment or holiday home out foreign you can register the vehicle at that address, BUT you can't use it 'back home' in Ireland. For example, many people who have a holiday home in Spain also have a locally purchased car which they use when they are out there.

In a not-dissimilar boat here. New or recent used are in very short supply - cheapest used one we've seen is €65k, so we're reevaluating what to do.

Right now it looks to me like Germany / Holland is the place to go, and we can more or less search for a spec we like, used. Class C, Automatic, 2-berth, aircon, bathroom/WC, and not based on a van, so that means a semi-integrated one.

Found a good few on www.mobile.de so that's we're searching atmo - there is an amount of them in the up-to-mid-40s budget which we'd be comfortable with (I know VRT etc is on top of that).

RiderOnTheStorm · 16-05-2024 1:45pm

we have moved (lock stock & barrel) from Ireland to UK last year, and have always wanted a small campervan. A weekender type thing. Had a Ducato 6 berth years ago (fixed bed in the back - kitchen table converts to double …. yeah right! …. and a double over the cab) and had plans that the kids would come with us on adventures. But the kids were teenagers and didnt want to go with the oldies …. so we sold it and said maybe a smaller one some day …. well someday arrived a month ago. Got ourselves a Vivaro pop-top and love it. Kitchen, rock n roll bed, fridge , and a casette toilet well disguised as a stool for middle of the night calls of nature. Its small but perfectly formed, as they say.

Point is … got it here in UK and the range of options available, styles, price, kit etc is huge. Something for every budget. We did travel a couple of hundred miles to pick up 'Wendy' in the end but she was worth it.

Not sure if a UK purchase will suit , as you might have to re-reg it / import it wherever you go, but worth considering. Easier to deal with folk / garage / etc if you speak the local lingo … bab ;-)

PS our ducato was 25 years old when we had it, and body might have been showing age, but the engine was bulletproof. Still got to 90kph easily! Had many more years left in her but parts were getting hard to source for a van of its age. I heard (dont know how true) that Fiat make great vans (engines) but their cars are a different story.

ballyharpat · 27-07-2024 1:15pm

Hello, My wife and I enjoy wild (tent) camping, but the weather has cut a lot of our trips short, due to obvious reasons. We generally stay local, within 100km of home, but for a few years, we will not be going abroad, so figure we will head further up the country and go for longer trips and perhaps even the UK NC 500 etc. I am not the biggest fan of traffic, so I want something like a Transporter, or any similar size of campervan. We only need a double bed, small hob and fridge and storage. A reliable engine, 2l+-, no rust.

Does anyone know of any coming available in the next few months? we wont be ready for it until about mid to late September, but I'm trying to do some research now so I know what to look out for.

Is there anywhere we can find out the pros and cons of a UK import? I know there is a much better range to choose from, so would be willing to put the time in to travel for the right van.

Any and all suggestions from knowledge and experience are appreciated.

Our budget is around e15-18k

Thanks in advance for any help.
