How Much Did My New Campervan Cost?

I recently purchased a Toyota Hiace converted campervan, to travel around my home country of Scotland. As someone who has owned vehicles before, but never purchased one in the UK, I found the process of buying a campervan to be an interesting experience. If you're curious about how to buy a campervan or how much a campervan costs, you'll find this video to be a helpful resource.
Despite my love for campervan travel and alternative living, I've hardly explored my home country of Scotland and I’ve never even visited places like the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Skye or the NC500. I'm excited to change that and experience UK vanlife now that I have my own campervan.
In the video, I cover everything you need to know about buying a campervan or motorhome, from where to find one to what to check during the viewing process to ensure you're getting a reliable vehicle. I also discuss the process of making a deal with the seller, as well as UK road tax and UK campervan insurance costs.
While my Toyota Hiace Ernie is already converted, it still requires some additional work to become an off-grid living van, such as adding electrics and plumbing.

Thank you so much for this video, I've been looking at buying a van for the past few months, but the costs even to buy an empty van have skyrocketed even since the start of the year, even before thinking about conversion costs!

[@johnclankie324]

Hi Ruth I’m playing catch-up as I only found your channel a couple of days ago, your van is ideal and with a few modifications will be great, most of which will have been done as I’m 6 months behind. Enjoying your videos well done. Cheers Mike🍷

[@ruthaisling]

Thanks Mike, I am really happy with the van. Always so much that can be done but it's definitely liveable with all the modifications I've made so far

Hi Rith, you definately had a good deal, the campervan looks in good condition and that extra height in roof is great.

[@shelltoosanpo]

Hi, Ruth. Your new journey is finally starting. I've been waiting for seeing you again in KZbin. Could you show me to your homeland of Scotland. I look forward to traveling with you in a campervan in UK in my imagination.

[@ruthaisling]

I'll be sharing lots of Scotland videos so please look forward to it!

[@tomoko4667]

You made a good purchase 100%. Camper van prices have gone up a lot during the pandemic and someone I work with got more money than he paid when he sold his van recently. The insurance you paid is reasonable too considering it has breakdown cover. I hope you never need it but it’s essential travelling around remote areas of Scotland…..! Looking forward to your next episode 😊

[@ruthaisling]

That's great to know! Yes, the insurance did seem a lot at that time when I paid, but as you say, it'll be reassuring to have the breakdown cover 👍

[@0HARE]

You did your homework and it paid off. That’s a very nice camper van, even though it needs some work. Happy Camping!

[@ruthaisling]

Thanks 👍

[@TheEddyrose1]

I've beem watching several of your latest videos and this is it! I'm doing it! I have lots of time now to travel all over Europe since my wife passed away and a Van like yours will do it for me, I am selling my Renault and will definitely get a Toyota, I had a small one before and never had any problems with it. Thanks for sharing, love your videos and looking forward to many more!

[@tomrailton9201]

Great video Ruth. I have a tourneo that looked great when I bought it with full mot. I sold my Renault which was much older and didn't have power steering. I totally regret it. The tourneo is a complete rust box and the mot was dodgy which I found out a year later. I am going to look for a Toyota like yours now. I am also going to binge watch all your videos. Take care and stay safe. Tom.

[@ruthaisling]

Thanks Tom. I’ve been happy with it but have had to replace things like the alternator and some old parts. But hopefully the van will be good for a few more years now!

[@aliheadington3764]

It sounds like a reasonable price. Hopefully it will take you on many joyful adventures. 👍

[@123tanuki]

I've been watching it since my time in Japan. I think the price was just right. The second battery is safe and highly functional if you build it yourself with a LiFe battery. I'm looking forward to the pictures and report of the van's trip in the UK.

[@ruthaisling]

Thank you, yes a LiFe battery would be great!

[@illphysh]

I bought a panel van 3 years ago for 4k with much higher milage and have spent around 3k to convert it. I cant stand up in it but it has been amazing for our family adventures. The prices for vans suitable for conversion and campervans have sky-rocketed since, so I think you have made a great deal with the price you paid. Also it is 90% done, so by spending another 1-3k with some lithium batteries, 12v electrics and a fridge, it should be pretty complete. Looking forward to the improvements. Subscribed.

[@ruthaisling]

Your van sounds great! Yes hopefully I'll get some 12v electrics installed in the next few months!

[@bigphilswheels]

Hi again Ruth. One of the options Terry was looking at doing before he got I'll, was widening the bed across to the worktop. He was planning to make a couple of boxes that fitted into the alley way and then make new cushion for it. When Ernie and Terry went to Benidorm in it, Terry slept in the walkway, in a sleeping bag! Never again, he said! Anyway, really enjoying your blogs and hope to see many more. Cheers, 👍👍

[@ruthaisling]

The boxes are a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thank you so much for telling me! Maybe I'll be saying the same after a night on the floor 😂

[@bigphilswheels]

I'm glad to help. If I can think of anymore useless pieces of information about the van, I'll let you know. Just so happy to see Terry's pride and joy being used and loved. Cheers,👍 👍

I think that was a very fair price. Looking forward to more of your videos.

I think you got a great deal ! 4 years ago I bought a '09 Chevy shuttle bus, with 190k miles, diesel powered. Paid 6500 usd. Now Has 217k miles. Also now has 800 watt solar, 3-100ah lithium batteries, 30 gal fresh water, 2500 watt inverter charger, 12k btu mini split heat/cooling, induction cooktop. 2 large and 1 smaller engine repairs bring my total investment to less than 17k usd. Still changing things as we go.We can boondock 7 days comfortably, have averaged 2 months a year in "Serenity". Can say it's been a blast.

[@simonjohnson4521]

Japanese cars vans are 100% most reliable motors, hands down, Hiace van are very sort after sadly can be harder to find used parts for in the UK as high prices are paid from dealers to export them rather than break them, On the plus side they very rarely go wrong 😊, its brilliant that you seemed to had a good experience with the seller. But would not recommend ,giveing cash before hand to any seller, sadly there are lots of scammers out there, same thing happened to my friend, he lost 1k on a deposit for a car that probably never existed-owed by the scammer, so people beware, would recommend leaving it though pay pay if anyone feels the instant need to secure a purchase, then your cash will be protected-refunded if the worse should happen..great content Ruth and the Van ❤it

[@ruthaisling]

Good advice, thanks!

[@bmpeers]

[@mysurlytrucker7510]
