There isn't really a need for one of you to sleep in the awning - there are plenty of 3 and 4 berth vans around. If you find you want to go away all year round, then this would be preferable I think.
Your budget is going to mean an older van, so as mentioned damp is a very real possibility. I would strongly recommend an inspection, whether you purchase privately, or from a dealer. Every season there are sad tales of people who don't have vans inspected and find they have bought rot boxes. Believe me, the cost of an inspection is insignificant compared to the cost of correcting damp. Don't be taken in either by 'small' damp patches - damp is like an iceberg - you see 10% the rest is still hidden.On entering a van your nose is a good test - any slight mustiness is a red flag...
As first timers, you might look out for someone who is selling up, as this could save you a lot, if an awning or other items are included. If a dealer, then haggle to to get whatever you can included.
I don't think any one make is better or worse than another, though some might disagree
