I have a 2.2 non-turbo Transit engined van. It certainly doesn't have problems going up hills. I'd get it serviced by a competent diesel mechanic.
You could always go to a dealer and try a test drive in a similar van and see how it performs.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

I almost exchanged my Trigano Tribute for an Autosleeper Executive with a 2 litre lump, took it for a drive, comeback to the showroom and told the salesmen NO DEAL, autosleepers momocoque are quite heavy bodies, and the the 2 litre lump was just not good enough for me, i now have an IH TIO R with a 3 litre lump and i will not move off the third lane if anyone flashes at my rear(unless they are cops) end i just put my foot down and leave them wondering Lol

I use to have a 2.8 non turbo hiace camper, much smaller than your van but just like yours it was totally gutless. As stated above you just need to learn to take it easy and dont expect to much from it. Having it serviced will make no differance

(what's uk speed limit for a motorhome)?
It depends on the vehicle's unladen weight..
I think it's something like under 3.1 ton it's still "car" limits but if it's over, it's 50mph on single carriageway and 60mph on dual carriageways(but still 70mph on MWs)
Here-(it's 3.05 tonnes )

),only has(had!?) that sort of output and at 212,000 miles, when loaded that can dawdle up some hills..especially those that don't give you much of a "run up"
