I think I may have mislead you. I am definitely not looking to make profit out of my adventure... I have a house and realise there are running costs to be factored in and thats not a problem. I just wanted to get a feel for value etc. If I buy a vw camper - provided i look after it, it will hold it's value but i have to spend to keep it maintained. If i buy a ford transit camper - it will loose money irrespective of how much i spend. I just wanted an idea really. If I buy a nb and don't loose too much when i sell it on after spending money on maintenance - thats fine with me as i will have enjoyed the time and there are very little things in life that are free..
Thanks
