First time Ford owner

Hello all,

So I just bought my first van with the plan of turning it into a camper, I picked up a 2016 Custom L2H2 with only 25k on the clock, and I'm pleased with it so far.

I did what I'm sure a lot of people have done when wanting to convert a van, and pined over a VW. But after weeks of looking through auto trader, I finally realised that they are ridiculously overpriced.

I was then sat in traffic en route to work and watched a steady stream of Transits come from a trading estate and thought, sod it, let's have a look at these instead.

I have to confess to having a snobby attitude towards Fords but thought there must be a reason they are the most popular van, and i can see why. Mine is brilliant, it has everything including reverse cam and even a cheeky 240v power hookup in the back.

I probably would have spent 10-15k more for an equivalent VW... which is insane.

Glad to part of the Transit clan

Will.
