KeymasterHi Chris
Nice to hear from
Hi ChrisNice 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.March 20, 2013 at 2:23 pm #119200Darren

ParticipantHi, 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.March 20, 2013 at 6:19 pm #119209mgroadster
