Hi everyone
What a great site - just spent hours reading as much as I can! We are hoping tp buy our first 'van this year - have hired a few and been to a few shows to decide on what size, layout etc we want. Have decided on panel van conversion with rear lounge/ bed (so we can keep bed made up if we want, being lazy!) but with front diner area so we can still eat/ watch tv etc. It will be for 2 adults and 2 dogs. Will also be my only vehicle, although partner has a car.
We loved the WildAx Aurora Leisure we hired last year so hope to get something like this - but unfortunately would have to be a fair bit cheaper than these currently sell for - as they are quite new to the market we haven't seen any second hand ones yet. Have seen an Autotrail Tribute Trigano with required layout - so to get to my questions:
- anyone any comments/ experience on these?
- any other suggestions (wouldn't want anything smaller than the Aurora size, but at same time nothing bigger as too scary to drive!)
- from the research I have done so far - i Think we want heating to be optional gas/ leccy i.e. like Truma but some we have seen have blow air heating from Webasto diesel heater - which is best? £ to run etc? (we won't be doing much wild camping so hope to hook up on most occasions).
Sorry for all the waffley questions - I could go on and on , but these are my main queries today!!
Thanks for any advice/ help.
:Confused:
