Good morning, and welcome to the UK Campsite forums. You have chosen a very good place for info from our many forum users. Capt Lightning is correct, 'Winterisation' is a general term for the level of insulation built into a van. The newer vans do offer a better degree (as in F or C degree LOL)of insulation in walls, roof and flooring, in order to make it more economical to heat the interior and a better comfort level. This also helps to keep the van cooler in summer of course. Water tanks and pipes do need protection for winter use. Internal tanks will most likely have insulation. External / Underslung tanks must have / will need, insulating (or heater)if you find 'your van' and it does not have it. I would like to say, we started MH ownership in 2008 and the van that 'caught' us, and 'reeled' us in was in fact a 'U' shape lounged Autocruise Starspirit...a beautiful van. However it was the Mrs who spotted it and by the time I got around to viewing, it was sold! We bought a different make, but similar layout. We kept it 3 yrs only. The only reason for such a short ownership....2 seatbelts only! Now it is possible to buy a 'u' shape with more than just the driver and co pilot belts. In vans with dinette up front, and all round lounging aft.
Please ask your questions, we are in general all know it all's, and like to show off / share our knowledge. Watch your weight /tyres /length/width etc. i.e. will it fit on your drive. Oh, and watch the excitement when looking for your dream van. You could perhaps save time / fuel by googling Images of rear 'u' shaped vans. Then when you have a couple or so that interest you.....search for where you can find one of those in stock. And with that...don't buy a million miles from home. Anything amiss will take longer to sort out. Enjoy your search.
