*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 I know it's a long shot and this is a BMW forum (I think) Just putting it out there just in case someone might be selling. I'm after a 6-7 meter, diesel powered camper in good mechanical and body condition. Open to all makes etc and I know what I want and what is available on the web at the moment, most of which is sh*t for the stupid asking prices. Winter will bring down prices and get people & dealers to be sensible about what they have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
