We have downsized from Sterling Elite Treker to this van Lunar Quasar EB and adore this one, we love the fixed bed and there is plenty of space for lounging but there is now usually only two of us, find it gets warm a lot quicker too. Handling is not much different as we never manhandle cos OH is an ace at reversing but it has been less of a struggle to find storage, where we are currently never had space for a twin axle and it is good storage.

We have had a weeks holiday in the new van with daughter and her OH and we managed fine but it wan't as easy as with the old van, but for two fantastic.

Not been to Callose Cravan Park with it no. How come you ask? Have you seen a similar outfit there? What's it like?

We have a Lunar twin axel and we found no problems in towing even onto small sites, the advantage of the large van is the space and the fact you can be set up very quickly, as you do not always need any form of awning, great if you use it during the winter.

We have not had a problem using it in france, we used to tow it with a Disco and now have a Sedona, do not find any problems reversing. The big van is easier if anything, you get used to placing it with the car instead of trying to move it by hand.

I would think carefully before downsizing, if you do dont go too small you will miss the space.

the issue for us is really more accessing more remote sites where roads are narrow and making tight turns with the length of van behind us is sometimes a nightmare. we have a mover and reversing i must admit is easier than my single axle ifor williams trailer as it doesnt turn in so quickly or sharply. we are really just trying to establish whether or not a smaller van with an awning would open up more opportunities for us to visit sites where access roads are tight

I can see your point and would have to agree that a smaller van would be better if you want to go to some remote places, but it would have to be very much smaller for you to get any real advantage I think.

If you still went for 5mtr plus I do not think you would gain much at all. Perhaps you should look at a few smaller vans and see how you feel when you are inside them, then its a matter of weighing up all the parts, loss on the sale of the big van, less space but you would save on fuel and be able to go into smaller remote sites.

Is this a permanant requirement or just the thought at the moment, its your choise at the end of the day, just as long as you enjoy the camping.

Best of luck
