Hi Everyone

[Dou8leD0wn]

Hi all, just bought my first VW 5.1, and my first campervan, so I'm a total noob. Any newbie tips more than welcome

Welcome to the forum.

First tip: post some pics of your van!

Welcome.

Second tip - buy some condoms. When it happens youll know why!

 

[Dou8leD0wn]

I pick the van up on Saturday. I have got pics, but it's not officially mine until then, so I will post pics this weekend. The second tip sounds intriguing.

 

[Dou8leD0wn]

Thanks for the welcome, btw guys. Good to be here.

Third tip...everything you buy must have a least two uses and if your partner asks never cost more than £20.

Don't let this bunch convince you that you need something....

They will cost you a fortune....

Flip side, you will probably need that something

Fifth tip - leave a sealed letter with a friend, so if anything should happen to you the missus wont sell your van gear for what you told her you'd paid for it!

Hi Dou8leD0wn I’m new here too! we’ve just bought our first van. Good luck with everything and Macp is completely spot on with their comment.

Sixth tip - search for your question first, this forum has been going on for a while and there is loads of information on here.
