Part time fill time

For 2 people.....Some thing like the layout of low profile and garage at rear with the bed above, Similar to the layout of Maurice's Castaway,

For family of 2+2 go as big as you are comfortable driving, Burstner argos 747 would be ticking all the boxes I think,

Concorde Credo 791, luxury, about 8m, winterised, garage for scooter.

https://www.thompsonleisure.co…686f/8187/ , Something like this under 8m island bed separate shower and a decent garage anything bigger or smaller would just be hard work ..... With all the gadgets !

Mad money for sure I wouldn't be buying a new one ,
Yes I can see the attraction of an A class but for a long term trip a low profile would be more practical,I wouldn't fancy trying to source a windscreen or mirror for an A Class in the middle of no where six months into a trip ,

I would be more interested in what the must have gadgets would be on an extended trip

And i would guess a decent solar off grid setup as well

I was doing it in a 7.4m Crafter conversion (details on here if you search). The van was perfect, custom built for wifey and I, it did everything we wanted.

I hated living in the van, I would have been much happier with a tent strapped to a bicycle. The Crafter is now sold and we've bought a T6 Kombi, bikes in the back and camping in a tent, we're both much happier. I really should update my van life blog.

There moral of this is, what looks appealing on a 2 week holiday can be very different when it comes to living in it 24/7. Those long summer days soon become long winter nights. Spain was cold and wet this year and we had frequent snow, be prepared.
