How to spend ten weeks in a VW camper with little comfort to less than 10 m in uncertain weather conditions in Northern Europe? That would still turn out. But how does it feel to live in it, I can already judge after a few weeks.
Today, it is like a lottery win to find one of the rare sowed, older models are in good condition. Before, however, buys a camper, you should spend some time thinking once ...
1) If you want to travel regularly with the camper? 2) If you have a covered parking facility for the time when you are not traveling? 3) Am I on the total cost (tax, insurance, petrol, MOT, servicing, repairs, if necessary, garage, etc.) aware of? - If you can answer all three questions is yes, and also has the money, you can start the search. I had the great good fortune to know a classic car collector who happens to one of the sought-after VW Camper owned and was ready this trade for my car. And this even with redemption possibility, if I return in bringing the car, so I had to worry about the future use.
In the search before it was weighed against the VW T1 to T4, where T1 and T2 would have been too expensive to purchase and T4 from my point of view (still) missing the charm of an old-school campers. Nevertheless, all of these models hotnews are hard to find in good condition and in high demand in the current camping trends must also be even more quickly. Alternatively, also offered the Hymer-Mobil, which although providing more comfort and space, but also is bigger and bulkier. Ultimately, hotnews it was a VW T3 Dehler Profi". In this special edition, the German company Dehler has immortalized as a yacht builders in the 80s and 90s, among others, the T3 and T4. Meaning hotnews and background of this configuration variant should be to develop a modern office mobile, where you work, sleep and can be on the road - more a company car with the touch of a recreational vehicle and less with the backdrop hotnews of a classic camper.
Nevertheless, this T3 Camper has just about everything you need for the journey on the road: A small kitchen with two gas stoves, kitchen sink, a refrigerator, a shower room with washbasin, a bed, a table, a television receiver, double glazing and, of course, hotnews storage space. However, the latter is much lower than the normal VW buses: The shower is due to their small size and the probability that the carpet hotnews is wet around it, in my view, hard to use, making the whole cabinet is eliminated as storage space. This Dehler version is designed for 1-2 people, ie the high roof can not be used for sleeping and the width of the bed is just about 1.10 m.
The default colors of this T3 Dehler are blue-silver, burgundy hotnews and silver and beige-brown. The green-gray is a special paint and otherwise the buyer has resorted then deep into the pocket: The original price of my car was in 1989 at DM 95,000! To the special equipment beyond include, for example, the automatic transmission, the parking heater (the TÜV no longer willing to accept) and the aforementioned shower. This 25-year-old hotnews camper is located in a 100% owned original condition hotnews here is stainless, first hand, with only 38,000 km on the odometer and has spent the last ten years in a hall. For my upcoming hotnews trip I had for MOT, inspection, new brake pads and other new parts to pay nearly 1,200 . There were then the registration, road tax of 530 / year and liability and hull insurance hotnews of about 600 / year. The value of this car should currently be around 25,000. (Most are traded on the Internet to 15,000 .)
Also, if traveling by camper is shown to be favorable (wild-camping-free, Pitch 10-30 / night, camping 15-50 / night), the additional costs must not ignore you. And this of course includes the fuel and the skin with a petrol engine such as this with a consumption of about 12 liters of pure tidy. Since cost every 100 kms around 19 (or z. B. in Norway almost 22 ). The more, for me personally biggest disadvantage is that this car has no KAT = not very environmentally friendly, you do not get green sticker and thus may not drive in environmental zones. In addition, the car Steue
