So here goes, decided a couple months ago to have a camper/ motorhome, have been up north3 times and looked at a few around the country, budget is hefty enough, initially thought needed something perhaps 4 berth etc but that was really just to cover all bases, however it's definitely only 2 berth I need and though I really like the elddis 115 i have now decided to have a van type camper, however after spending days litterally on the internet etc i actually can't find the layout i ( think ) i would like, here's my criteria which is most definitely subject to change, 1st of all it appears campers are easy to buy but next to impossible to sell privately as some of those I've seen are for sale for over 18 months etc and vehicles in the 2004 to 2010 year range appear ( please correct me ) to be unrealistic expensive and the common denominator is the privately owned ones are not selling and the owners don't appear to care ,
Anyway, I want to travel quite a bit but most likely only staying a day or twos most in any one place therefore I want something easy to drive and indeed even car like so a van type looks correct , ideally I would like a van with the bulkhead to remain in place and the camper itself to have shower and toilet across the back and 2 single beds up the side and the cooking sink etc ( perhaps behind the fixed bulkhead, or the bed across the back of the van( not to high tho ) and maybe all the services and tool compartment storage area underneath, as regards cooking etc i really only need single or double gas and small grill or microwave and definitely NO cooker , now i have not seen that type of layout but am sure yet will have some ideas or better still will have seen such and i look forward to hearing why some think it's bad idea and different views etc, I seen a 2017 fiat Ducato LWB today in UK with air con( is a must for me ) and cruise control etc for 12750 sterling and I would consider this or a sprinter and then get it professionally converted and yes I am reasonably aware of the vrt implications etc, look forward to replays,
Ps last camper was 30 years ago,and was factory made swb transit with pop up red and white roof
