Is there anyone in Frankfurt?

Question

I speak no German and I am in need of someone to help me buy a camper van in July. If anyone can help please answer me.

Answer 1

If you want to hire someone also check the yellow pages

the German word for interpreter is 'Dolmetscher' or translator='Übersetzer'.

Our friend Joe is American planing his trip to Frankfurt and he speaks no German too so I guess he was trieng to help rather than being sarcastic.

Sorry that the Yellow pages are only in German the usual telephone registers are in englsh too so I add them too.

the first *driving* "van" in the frankfurt-area i found...

~4400 euros

Mercedes-Benz 510 Wohnmobil

with air-conditioner & "engine-independent air heating system" (hey, that's what dict.cc told me...)

you'd have much better chances to find a trailer/camper ~1000 to ~2000 euros

i'll keep looking, but these cheap old "camper vans" are *really* hard to find...

[EDIT:

so far no luck looking for these in the frankfurt area on the internet... maybe better to look in car-buyer/seller-magazines or the local newspaper... i'll check with my 2 friends who both both have a campervan. maybe they have a better idea...]

[EDIT2:

2 thumbs down ... boy, i must really talk garbage :-o

[EDIT3:

mobile.de seems to be a better place to look. within 50km of frankfurt i found a few T3 ... seems they are not "that hard" to find after all...

Honestly Emilio the way I would do it is with the help of my friends in Germany already.

Do you already have friends there?  If so they can check out papers and dealerships or such for such a camper, but if you do not know anyone I hope you can read, write and speak German, you said you cannot so that means you also need to hire a legitimate interpreter to assist you and also try to learn as much as you can before you go.

Make sure you have either a EU license or an International one if not from another Europan Union nation.  Yes a US one is legal but it is much easier to explain to Cops and any one else that questions your ID or Passport and will save possible hassles by having one if not a EU citizen.

After than make sure you can afford to drive it!! Petrol *gasoline is so expensive. I am not saying not to do it for that sounds like a great trip. Just know that gas is not cheap.

If you do not have any contacts in Germany then I suggest one of two things from here, MAKE a friend or more HERE in the Travel section, an honest friend as I have made several real internet friends I may see for real one day for I do travel to Germany often enough.  Then you will have the inside help. Just asking here you are not as likely to get as much assistance if that makes sense.

Second, search on places like EBAY and such and get an intrepreter if needed to pre buy one but again over the internet buying such a thing CAN be risky. Maybe if you cannot get help before you can do your research once you are here and hire some one to help you?

Those are my honest suggestions too you, many may have though you were a troll at first for their has been a lot of problems with them lately so please excuse any one that has mistaken you for one and if you are one then it matters not to me anyways. I still gave you an honest answer.

If it were not for the sudden troll problem the last two months here I doubt you would have received such answers, trust me before this almost ALL answers were decent!!

Viel Glueck, Good Luck.
