UKGary, if you look through the posts, you'll find that several others have made similar requests, so you may find some useful info in the replies to those.
I recommend (as I have to others) to look at Autotrader Motorhomes, enter your criteria and see what comes up. This will at least give you an idea of what's available and cost etc...
Banning older diesels from some cities is a possibility, and if possible, I'd look for at least a Euro 4 spec.
Base vehicle - consider Fiat, Peugeot, Ford etc..
Heres an example

Two drifters off to see the world.
I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

Have a look at the Mazda Bongo. A great owners club too! We had one for a few years until someone stole it! There are diesel and petrol options, 2WD or 4WD, auto and manual gearbox options. Ours was a 4WD diesel auto, and it was great to drive.
You should get a really good one for less than your budget. Take a look on ebay.

If you are thinking of using it abroad and it is lpg converted, I don't think you can use the channel tunnel, only the ferries but please check before booking.

Roof top beds sometimes have quite a low weight, so only suitable for small children.
