First thing to do is check which vans you can tow with the available towcar....towing weights are confusing  but use the "What Tow Car" website and you can do a match - it will tell you if you are over the 85% rule.

Layout is very much down to personal choice/circumstances.  Personally I don't like fixed double beds as they take up so much space in the van in the daytime.  Our van has fixed single beds which are full single sized and properly sprung, with the option of making up a double if needed.   If there are just 2 of you, a decent sized 2 berth may be a better option...as I say, each to their own.  It's a good idea to go around different dealers and view the layouts of vans to find what will suit you.

There is lots of advice on here about actually buying a dry van, either from a dealer or privately.  If you buy private sale you will have to know what to look for and ideally, have the van inspected by someone - it may cost a little bit but could save you from making a very costly mistake.

Just do a search on UKCS - you will find lots of good advice.
