  1. Hi All,
    In a moment of madness this weekend what went from looking at campers has ended up in owning one.
    1973 Bay. seems mechanically ok for its age, but as they all do has some bodywork that might need a little more than some botox.
    Going to take it on short one nighter with the family to local site this weekend to acclimatise us to the joys of ownership. Looking forward to many days and nights of swearing and empty pockets.

    Regards
    Simon

    Welcome to the forum fella!
     
  14. Well done for buying one rather than keep looking at them. Use it and enjoy it and expect a few troubles along the way and keep up your AA or RAC membership.

    Learn, learn, learn and come on here for help.

    Hi.
    Welcome from Italy.
    Remember to keep using your bus...have adventures and make memories with it...do the jobs along the way...don't let it sit for months or more.
