    Hi Chris
    Nice to hear from

    Hi Chris

    Nice to hear from you.
    Great idea, as having a camper with small kids is great.
    Vitos and VWs are all great vans. Also look at Toyota HiAce, which would probably be my choice in your price range.
    I’ve owned a few Mercedes vans, which are so great reliability wise, but they can rust a bit if you don’t stay on top of it.
    £3,000 for van and the conversion is a great budget.
    If you are taking children in the back carefully think about the rear seat. Probably worth spending a bit of money on a good one with seat belts and that turns into a bed.

    Hi, You also want to decide
    Hi, You also want to decide on whether you want to crawl around on your hands and knees in your van or stand up. If standing up, a high top transit/sprinter is a good place to start.

    Get a driveaway awning as
    Get a driveaway awning as well, for those absolutely wet rainy days, when you have that vital extra space.
