Hiya,

Thank you all for your responses/expriences. I think from what i have read i will be looking for a lwb vw or a swb/mwb bigger van. I think the t4/t5 size would be more practical on a day to day level, however the bigger van would suit us better for sleeping/living in. We would not be spending a lot of time in it anywayonce on hols it would literally be at night for sleeping.

I think maybe my problem is that i am trying to find which is the best vehicle for day to day and camping and maybe if i want a small van for day to day the compromise needs to be made in living space.Maybe?

I would defo need an awning in order to make it comfortable for us. I am going to look at the larger vans mentioned abovein swb/mwb size. My license doesn't allow me to drive certain vans.

I believe i can drive upto 3000 max mam, but i was thinking the bits used to fit out a van would be heavy and also all the bits we would want to take. so wanted to stick to smaller for that reason.

Scoutin squirrel, i would love to be able to go for a tour around Europe next summer. So thank you for letting me know that would be possible to do (it is a bit daunting but so exiting, i really can't wait for all of the experiences the kids will have). My daughter would be fine in an awning, either that or she shares the bed with me, that will make the awning very appealing Haha.

I am looking at on the internet today to try to narrow it down.

Does anyone know of any van dealers in Nottingham or better still somewhere i could see some converted vans. The only campervan places i know only stock big campers not dayvans.

Hi Helen,

What a lovely suggestion, at some stage in the future i would love to explore further afield in Europe, and your house sounds ideal.

I am going to look at the website you mention as well as it sounds interesting.

I thought the bed was a brilliant idea, you will have to let us know how well it works out.
