Hi everyone,
I'm on the cusp of buying a Trident. My first Autosleeper. I've had a few vans before but never had these beauties on my radar!
Hoping for a bit of advice from seasoned autosleeper owners which will hopefully give me the confidence to go ahead with the purchase! Im planning to go to France/ Spain for 4 weeks over this summer, and I plan to have a Trident as my main vehicle, enabling lots of UK camping, surfing/ mountain climbing trips all year round.

Really appreciate your help

Holly

Hi all, thanks for all your welcomes!
Ive just had the RAC check done on the Trident. Showed up a few things that will need sorting out but nothing massively major, I think. I'm not sure about the price he's asking for it though. Its on at £8750. Seems pretty pricey to me, but perhaps these hold their value above other vans? Any advice really appreciated!
