Basics Of Camper Van Hire
Camper vans for hire come in all shapes, sizes and prices. The trick is to find a campervan to suit your requirements and budget.
There are a few styles of camper van to choose from, with varying levels of comfort and price. Smaller vans are so easier to handle, but larger vans offer more comfort. If it's your first time, I suggest you go for the largest camper van that you feel happy to drive, within your budget.
A high top is basically a camper van conversion with a specially made high fixed roof. These come in several lengths, short, medium and long. These sizes refer to the wheelbase, which is distance between the front and rear axle. Motohomes with an average wheelbase are popular hire choices as they are easier to handle than the long wheelbase versions, whilst still offering a good degree of comfort. Various companies also offer motorhome hire with folding roofs. The above kinds of motorhomes are often referred to as camper vans.
Coachbuilt motorhomes (C class) are usually a lot larger than campers and are more like a house on wheels. Most will have all comforts of home and often a double bed. Several of the designs have a bed area which sits over the top of the drivers cab. These campervans can be luxurious to run and hire.
Fuel costs are a definite consideration for numerous when deciding to hire a campervan. This problem has been taken on board by a few rental companies and manufacturers. Several motorhome hire companies now offer vans that have been converted to run on LPG. This should at least half of your fuel costs.
For most people, the hire cost is a definite consideration when looking to hire a camper van or motorhome. My advice is to not overextend your budget on the rental cost. Part of the enjoyment of the camper van is being able to visit and enjoy new places. If you are a couple, an average wheelbase motorhome should provide you with good overall comfort levels, ease of use and at a reasonable price.
One thing I should mention is that insurance cover for camper van hire can be expensive and you should know up front accurately what you are covered for. Take more time to review the policy. Remember to comply with most insurance policies you should carry out the daily maintenance tasks on the camper van as specified by your rental agent.
You've booked the camper van hire, now what.
Well it actually depends on what type of holiday you are looking for. If you are using the camper van as a base to visit new places then to get the most out of your hire, it's always a good idea to plan your route in advance. This means that you will know day by day where you are going and don't waste any time deciding where to go while on your holiday.
Of course for some, there will be no route and hiring a campervan is all about the open road with a new adventure each day.

how difficult is it to fit power steering to a Ford Transit 1990?
My van has a beam axle with worm & nut steering.
I have been offered the equiptment off another Transit, so any advice to fitting this would be helpful.
If you're asking this question in this forum, it's best you don't attempt it.
You'll need to mount the pump to the engine, which could be a problem if your engine is different than the one the pump came off of.
You'll need hydraulic tools to remove the hoses. They are sealed in pretty well. Again, if there is a difference in the motor and configuration between the two vehicles, you'll need to put in _new_ hoses. Special tools _are_ required for this.
You'll need to fit the transfer case (the box that actually pushes the hydraulic fluid through the steering gear), which could entail disassembling the entire steering gear.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can use basic tools for this. The pressure in this hydraulic system is incredible, way more then in a hydraulic braking system. The special tools will be required to properly seal the system, and you CANNOT splice new hoses into the old ones, even using flanged couplers, they blow right apart the first time you turn the steering wheel while stopped.
This is not a project for the uninitiated. Again, if you're asking about it here, it's best you don't try it.
