Only advice I can give you is kill your hubby !!!!!!! only kidding . Our first van was a compass omega that we bought 5 years ago for £1000  we sold it for £1250  3 years later and the guy we sold it to has just sold it for £1250.  If you are looking for a starter van, you can't beat an omega. Our 1989 version didn't have a shower or hot water but I think the 1991 onwards did. I have met many an omega owner and they all say the same, great wee van, damp free and roomy. Don't now how much you want to spend but if your on a limited budget look out for a late 80s or early 90s compass. You never know, your hubby might not like caravaning either so no point in spending a fortune on a newish van till you are sure. Hope this helps....

weve gone from a tent to a caravan for the same reasons

OH hates sleeping on the airbed, he hates being cold ( even in summer he says hes cold) and is thoroughly miserable which completely ruins our holidays with him tired and grumpy, refusing to do anything and just generally being nasty to everyone and wanting to go home, we havent camped for more than a year as a result, its just not worth the agro

 He always whinged he would be happy in a caravan and now he is.

Im keeping the tent in case we fancy a weekend away, just me and the kids
