Buying opinions please

There`s plenty out there but stop moving your own goalposts , now its gotta be a builders van as well - shouldn`t be a problem but it`s gotta be RHD `coz the missus can`t drive a LHD . Fine , then later it can be LHD but you`d do all the driving .....

VW or non VW it`ll be a comprimise but you`ll need to prioritise what`s important and how you actually see the van being used .
Not trying to lecture but it`s all getting a bit messy ....

 

Welcome to my world

 

Then you came to your senses!

 

You'd still have one vw left though!

I can't imagine ever getting rid of mine, but wouldn't be opposed to adding another van to suit diffrent uses.

Eg if I was doing 6 months full time living in a van in Europe

 

I think this comes a bit nearer to it ..... If I can find a camper/daily to suit without selling "the green one" we'll have covered all bases, so it doesn't have to be a T2, or any other T .... and "oi! @Lasty , YOU'RE the one that opened the T4 can!

 

@Lasty 's point is that you can only choose a van when you know what you want to use it for.

You don't really seem to know what you are buying a van for.

If I was doing 6 months living in a van, I'd know what the van would need to meet my requirements.

 

I know exactly what I'm buying a van for ... maybe just expecting it to cover too many bases?
We would ideally only have two vehicles in total.
That's obviously where compromise has to come in.
I now have a better idea of what won't do, because I now have a better idea of which compromises would be ok, and which ones wouldn't

 

Side note.... We have 2 T2s, love them.

My dad bought a T4 and lived in it in Tenerife for a few months.

He's since bought a Boxer and said just yesterday "I don't know why I lived in such a small van, I wouldn't go back"

 

Sod a transporter you need a transformer

 

Static cara VAN

 

... Knew I shouldn't have mentioned building work
They all cover that base actually.

 

I actually meant one of these

 

Get behind me Satan!

 

We`re thinking along the same lines , forrin` travel would be soooo much easier in a modern van

Look at @Lord Congi , it`s all about the camping . Not a second thought about setting off to Spain/Portugal in the newbie - never looked back

And before anyone pipes up , i`d do the same in mine but covering big kilometers is far more pleasurable in something a bit newer and faster .**

** unless you`ve got a couple of years

 

The thought of getting a newer can like you suggest isn't lost on me either, for the very same reason.

 

2years ...... Forest Gump .... I just kept driving
