|  |     I passed a place the other day that had a whole range, from �2,900 for
    a VW Combi to �20,000 for a 'kinuge one.
    Maybe if you let us know what your budget is I could take another look
    and see what you would get for the money.

|  | Hi,
Thanks for the quick response!
My aim is to sell the beast after my holiday down-under, and I should have access
to enough capital for something in the range 15k-20k (if it were really necessary).
The upper limit would start to approach what I have to pay in Australia - but I 
guess it depends on quality.
btw. A VW campervan would definitely be too small - I am planning a 5-6 month 
holiday with the whole family, so we will need a little space, and a few of the
"mod cons"!!
Also, what is a 'kinuge one ?
Thanx,
Nick

    Erm... I suspect he means "very large" ;^)

    Nick,
    
    Have you checked that you won't get clobbered by tax etc. because
    technically you will be importing the vehicle into the country.

| 2280.5 | Still checking... | FLYWAY::WALKERN | Skiing Skippy... | Wed Jul 20 1994 10:23 | 9 | 
|  | Hi Dave,
That is one of the things that I am still checking on - usually there is a time
factor built in. I beleive that if I have owned the thing for at least 6 months 
I'm OK.
But, I'm still checking...

| 2280.6 | Motorhome prices - UK. | RDGE44::WINTERR |  | Mon Aug 01 1994 08:05 | 26 | 
|  |     Sorry this is late - only come into the notesfile recently after a
    pause.
    All prices are pounds.
    
    Brand new "Coachbuilt" motorhomes in the UK start at 20,000 +, with one
    exception - an Italian made , lefthand drive one 16000 ish.
    
    The "huge ones" (called A class over here) brand new are 30,000 up.
    
    Diesels are very popular, and this is reflected in their prices
    secondhand.
    
    15000 will get you a 2 - 4 year old diesel motorvan depending on what
    specification you are after.
    This would be a vehicle about 17ft long, 6 and a bit ft wide, and about
    9ft tall (sorry for the old units - that's what they use in the
    magazine I buy).
    
    Diesels are not that common on the used market at the moment, however,
    apparently most new motorhomes I being bought with diesel engines, so
    the prices whould come down when they hit the secondhand market.
    
    If you have any particular models in mind let me know and I can look
    the price up.

	Don't be sorry!  Be proud to be British! I always ask customers ringing
in for product dimensions, do you want them in English or Metric?  They usually
laugh and ask for English please!

| 2280.8 | Thanks. | FLYWAY::WALKERN | Skiing Skippy... | Tue Sep 27 1994 11:47 | 8 | 
|  | Thanks for the info.
It looks as if the prices are the same if not a bit cheaper in Australia, so I 
guess I'll save myself the trouble.
Regards,
Nick
