New van

[andromeda]

Tips please. Made many mistakes in buying Leo but hopefully have learnt from them. However would like to downsize to a 2 berth to give me more accessibility in different areas of the UK.
I know I need an enclised loo (not one in a cupboard) and I'd rather bench seats than a pull out bed. Still broke so will probably be either a trade in or a direct sale. Price not yet decided on as have to get Leo valued.
So purpose of post is to ask for any tips and any big no no's on makes. I didn't know CI's were prone to damp for example.
Thanks for reading

Everyone is different.

I would never buy a coachbuilt again like the Sundance I had (and the Elddis years before that) as they seem too rattly and flimsy to me.

I think a larger van conversion would be better for you, something the size of the Adria that I had, maybe. I am very happy to have ditched the Adria for my tiny Dispatch as it's so much more convenient for getting about, but I suspect you are used to the comforts of a larger van so it would suit you better.

Thanks Caz. I'm still pretty adaptable and a smalker van would open up new horizons. If I could find a renovated Gertie with power steering I'd have her in a heartbeat.

A medium base panel van type is easy to park and has more room than a short wheel base vehicle. Often no loo in SWB too. It's such a personal decision, we opted for MWB having had both, longer and shorter. Compromise is the name of the game
Happy hunting. We liked the Weinsberg designs but hard to find.
