Campervan with kids?

[anna79]

We are thinking of buying a van and converting it into a camper van. I have seen quite a few around East Dulwich and wondered if anyone had any advice as to what type of van to buy. We have a 4 year old daughter, my other half surfs and do we would need to fit quite a lot in it!

Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.

vw do factory built campers now and they are worth looking at as they use every inch of available space. its called the vw california. they have been doing them for a few years so you can get some good deals second hand.

but there are also some great conversions out there.

my top tip would be to rent one (or a few different ones) to get an idea of what layout works for you. at the least id recommend going to see campervantastic who have lots of different vans (both for sale and for rent) and are keen campers too.

and go for the most modern, reliable one you can afford! we did the whole vintage camper thing and we much prefer our modern one though its obviously not as pretty!
