Newbie here - just bought our first Camper!
by balaks Mon Jul 07, 2014 9:56 pm
Hi guys and gals,
As the topic suggests myself and my wife are now the very proud owners of a 1993 VW Trident Autosleeper, 2,370 cc diesel.
We think we got a great deal for it - we had a mechanic friend take a look at it for us and he seemed to be sure that everything seemed sound - it has 93k miles on the clock with 3 previous owners - the most recent being an elderly gent who kept it in dry storage for the past few years.
Here are a few pictures:
Let me know what you think of it - we are both delighted and can't wait to get her out and around Ireland asap. We managed to haggle the owner down to £3500 which I think was an absolute steal. Any hints or tips about what to look out for or any potential problems? We would be very grateful to hear from fellow Trident owners.

Hello & welcome from S/Yorks. 
Van looks great, check the spare is ok & where the jack/wheelbrace are before setting off, or 'Murphy' may pay you a visit.
