We are thinking of buying a van and converting it into a camper van. I have seen quite a few around East Dulwich and wondered if anyone had any advice as to what type of van to buy. We have a 4 year old daughter, my other half surfs and do we would need to fit quite a lot in it!


Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.

vw do factory built campers now and they are worth looking at as they use every inch of available space. its called the vw california. they have been doing them for a few years so you can get some good deals second hand.


but there are also some great conversions out there.


my top tip would be to rent one (or a few different ones) to get an idea of what layout works for you. at the least id recommend going to see campervantastic who have lots of different vans (both for sale and for rent) and are keen campers too.


and go for the most modern, reliable one you can afford! we did the whole vintage camper thing and we much prefer our modern one though its obviously not as pretty!

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
