Best and Worst Campervans

Best and Worst Campervans
Posted Tue, 04/22/2008 - 14:03

Having a very dull Tuesday at work. So, it has to be asked.....best and worst campervans you have owned and why?

My offerings:

Best - Mitsuibishi L300.  Not the fastest or smoothest ride just made a great home for 4 months in NZ and didn't break down once (never even needed an oil top up).

Worst - Mazda Bongo.  This was the van we bought before aforementioned L300 which died within 3 days (possibly that is more to do with jet lag and us knowing nothing about engines but hey).

What do people think.......

Best - Ford Econoline 1979. Not the swiftest of beasts but took a good beating travelling across BC mid winter. Rolled it twice, froze the battery and snapped the clutch but it just kept on giving even at -30C. Even took the skylight off in a multi-story - just made it more streamlined. It knew the way to the ski hills on its own. Worst - Fiat Punto. It sucks.

I agree, not a campervan but the Fiat Punto sucks.  I had one where the internal lights filled with water when it rained!

Best van - Mitsuibishi L300 gets another vote.  Just cause that's what I've got now and no big problems so far....

Worst van - Possibly the Plymouth Voyager I had for a while (funnily enough also in BC).  It was more of a people carrier thing but I did try do a basic conversion and sleep in it a few times before it terminally broke down right outside MEC in Vancouver.  It was only a month old!!
