Look at the seat layout on each MH you are looking at and ask yourself "If I had to sit on those seats for a whole day because of a monsoon outside would I be comfortable"?

Rent 2x different types/shapes of van for first 2 trips, preferably 4-6 weeks apart

Will be the best money you ever “waste”

Just go out and enjoy it before you get bogged down with grey water, gassing and toilet threads

Been there...tell them twice, because afterwards they'll deny you warned them

Take your very first roundabout as fast as you can.
When you stop a little bit further up the road to put stuff back in the fridge, cupboards, shelves etc etc, it might inspire you to do a "pre flight check" next time.

Buy a cheap classic van and see if you like the lifestyle before investing loadsamoney. If it’s not for you, the van will hold it’s price.
