Should I or shouldn't I

Hi everyone.
Complete noob here. Until today I had never heard of commer but then I came across this crazy camper truck on a local sale site. I am hoping to go and check it out this week but I reckon it will be riddled with rust because it's in a paddock close to the ocean... What I am wondering is would the camper component lift off the truck? Can I transpose it to another vehicle?
TIA for any advice you can provide.

Hi Tony and welcome :) A bit of a sad looking camper and, as you say, looks like it has a few issues. The camper body; although it's made of fibre glass, is timber framed and you can be pretty sure a lot of that that will be rotten too. I suppose it could be adapted to fit another vehicle but it's not a simple lift off job so the time, money and skills it would take to remove, repair and transplant are prohibitive - probably as much as restoring the whole van. If you do have the time and skills yourself then it would be a great long term project but paying someone else to do it would be very expensive.
My opinion of course and good luck in whatever you decide and please let us know how you get on.
 
Thanks Panky.
Good advice. It would be great project but time and money are against me. I had hoped the fibreglass camper may be salvageable but it sounds unlikely.
I appreciate your honest opinion.
Cheers.

If it's not to much of a trip then it's worth having a look, it might not be quite as bad as it looks.
