My major stroke 4 years ago put our motorhome plans on hold. Late last year we decided we would give the venture another go and then I was diagnosed with rectal cancer! I"m not sure if someone is telling me dont do it but hey ho.
I have had the tumour removed and just started the chemo treatment. For a number of reasons I had been researching and looking at new entry level coach builds.
There is only the two of us and hopefully a lab pup but i had been interested in vans that had two separate sleeping areas due to our sleeping habits. As is the way of things we have looked at vans around the £45000+ mark but bit by bit they have got to £64000 (Auto Trail Apache 700).
Now it may be the case that we revert to the original budget but I got to thinking that in the £60 - £70K price range we must be in very good second hand A Class vans range. As I have never really researched this market I am a little overwhelmed with all the model variants etc.
I realise the layouts will be different with fixed beds at the rear and dinette and lounge up front and hopefully a drop down double but I would be very grateful if the experienced and knowledgeable on here could give me some suggestions for vans which I could research further. The only proviso is that they should be relatively modern vans. I am not asking for details of vans which are advertised but the marque and model etc. I can then do the research on auto trader and the likes.
Many thanks
