hotpickups

Odd place to ask but worth a try. Does anyone know of a good place where to sell a T5 2010 campervan? Really don't to want use eBay

Tried a couple but nothing yet despite it being great camping weather

It's million to one chance it would come to anything but just on the off chance. Do you have any pictures and price? To put that into context, Mrs Hippo and I have been looking at converted Mazda Bongo's lately.

All the best,

I too have been looking at converted bongos, this peaks my interest!

There's a few outdoor instructor groups I'm in on the book of faces. We love a good camper as it makes freelance work much easier to take! VWs especially seem to go well but only if you've got the proper sticker on it ...

I have on Facebook but haven't gumtree yet

Lots of Facebook groups. I go on things like Motorhome Madness and Motorhome Adventures but there are more. I think it's probably the wrong time of year, people will have bought much earlier than this.

Bongos aren't the best (IMHO) - cramped and thirsty. Kind of fun but they are very old vehicles now and you could do better. 

HippoPete

Thanks for the heads up on Bongos guys. The ones I've seen have very smart conversion kits fitted but wasn't too convinced about the underlying vehicles (at least the ones I've seen).

Its unlikely that I can progress it but David's T5 is really very nice indeed.

I think you should post a link or an ad on here - you never know.

Have you tried listing it on the T5 Forum page on Facebook. I've just agreed to buy a T5 camper day van from there... there seems to be quite a large amount of keen potential buyers.

Yes @Budgie it's been on there and other Facebook pages for about a week now:-

also Gumtree

Had a few time wasters but that's bound to happen I guess

I remember seeing that one, it's a nice outfit for sure but a bit more than I wanted to spend. The one I'm buying is a few thousand less and no pop top and a bit more modded with sportline stuff, lowered and big alloys etc as I intend to use it daily and for occasional festivals. I'd say, from what I've seen, that yours is pretty well priced, particularly with the lower mileage and the extras. The prices for some T5s is crazy, yours looks lots better than most of the stuff listed around the price. Good luck with it, there's definitely a buyer out there.

By the way, what do you think of the Vango awning?

Thanks @Budgie ;

The Awning is a must imo and the air beam vango is so easy and quick to put up. Within turning up at a campsite I could be set up under 30minutes. Recommended
