Hi, I am seeking good advice and info on campervanning. This is my first time as a Forum member and it feels like a date! wave

We have just bought our T25 Autosleeper pop top Trooper 1990 and name her Flossie-Momo for family and remembrance reasons.
335,000 miles and it's 3rd engine which is a 1600 Turbo diesel. only 135,000 on the current engine which sounds and looks amazing. After inspecting and evaluating the vehicle I believe the interior needs a good wash and recover/refit. The poptop needs resealing and the bodywork I am told is surface rust. Besides a deep clean/valet/refit inside I need to buy some replacement parts most likely! think_smiley_46

Where do I go for original wheels/hubcaps/windscreens/bike racks/towbars/ wipers/lights/gear knobs/steering wheels/bumper end caps etc? Lastly I cannot find a realistic comparison price for what I paid and would love to know where I should be looking to get a price comparison for something clearly well used and loved but very tired and in need of another a happy camper. Many thanks!! allthumbz

Great day yesterday - Helen made 69 on the same day that "Petal" completed her 69,000th mile! allthumbz

Best regards,
