Review of VW California Exclusive

Volkswagen T25/T3 Holdsworth CamperVan

Advantages: Practical, fun, camper, comfortable, easy to service.
Disadvantages: Upgrades are expensive, can be costly to run if you do ALOT of miles.

I've use to only own VW's, one reason for this is other VW users are always friendly, parts are easy to buy and cheap, as long as you know where to look. And if you look after it you should sell it pretty easily, for not much less than you bought for. This was my third VW. I thought about buying a T2 baywindow camper but after getting into one of these, I changed my mind! The T25/T3 is huge, in comparison. They're cheap..if you look at the other ...
...thousands more! But why should you? Spares are easy to get, although up-grades are very expensive. So make sure if you want power steering+electric windows you buy it with the camper and not try to find someone who'll fit it for you, as it'll eat up your hard-earned cash. I bought a Holdsworth conversion, left sliding door, being wel built and functional I was pleased. It's a 1900 petrol 57KW, no worries about power, its got enough and can surprisingly ...

Review of Volkswagen Bus T3

The Marco Polo V VW T4 California

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

A good alternative to the VW T4 Westfalia. prices are a little better because most consumers are not aware of this conversion. Internal space is very good whilst the external dimensions appear smaller, like the tardis effect.and will easily fit into garages and multi storey car parks Make sure it has the independent heater as this was an option when new. The 122bhp diesel with automatic gearbox is the one to go for, but lesser models with petrol ...
...beds one being in the elevated roof with a thick mattress. To conclude, this is a good looking camper, only recently beaten by the VW t5 california. you should buy this camper from a westfalia specialist dealer because heaters/fridges/batteries can be very expensive if broken. I have seen one on campervans4u.com website whilst recently searching ...

Review of Mercedes Vito Marco Polo

VW Westfalia Sven hedin

Advantages: VW campervan, big enough for shower/toilet/hot water
Disadvantages: a bit wider then the t4

the sven hedin is a westfalia model based upon the VWLT28 chassis and the best engine is the 2.4 6 cylinder turbo diesel. The later model to the sven hedin is the Florida which is slighlty better still as it has rear access as well.The sven hedin was produced between 1979 until 1989 and superceded by the florida through to about 95'. Power steering is a must as well as diesel on this model. They are a cult camper amongst the travellers/surfing community ...

Review of VW Westfalia Seven Hidin

An ideal family car - An ideal family camper

Advantages: Flexible, car like and well equipped for family of 4
Disadvantages: None

...but features numerous tightly integrated VW accessories that turn this car into a mobile home. We have travelled extensively throughout Europe in such a van with 2 kids on board and found it ideal. Many come with options such as night-heating and insulation pack which combined with double-glazed windows make this a genuine 4 season camper. The diesel option is more expensive but the fuel economy of 30-40mpg makes this worthwhile. Standard fittings ...
