Hi Applebrook and welcome to the Craic. Good to have another Yellabelly on board. They're a mad lot on here but mad in the right way and full of helpful information. Just be careful where you buy and be sure before you part with your hard earned cash. Fire away with any questions you may have and happy camping.

Welcome to the Craic Ruth,
As Liam has mentioned ask plenty of questions as there is always a craicer with some knowledge not far away,

Use the search (little magnifying glass) at the top of the page for some previously asked questions

Best of luck with the purchase

Welcome. Good to see a few more Wexfordians on board. Mind that Flipperdipper lad though.

Good luck with your new venture but do not be afraid to ask plenty of questions before buying,just remember that all that glitters is not gold.

Welcome Ruth and enjoy the craic.
Be careful what you buy, dont rush in, there are plenty of good choices out there. Make sure you know the layout you want, and get a habitation check done. Probably the most important check on a moho.
Good luck with your purchase, and health to enjoy

Ensure you have enough seat belts.

Some are described as six-berth and may only have four travelling seats.

Awe! Thanks for the messages! Think I'm on the right track. Looking at campervan on Sunday and bringing a cracker of a wheeler dealer with me, and seller seems genuine and decent. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions after purchase, my "other half" has MS so will be seeking out easy enough places to start off with, but excited about further challenges. Tickled me pink to see a few yellow bellies on this site
