I made a small compromise last month and bought a T4 Caravelle. I like being by the sea; I lived there for the first 21 years of my life. My parents still live approximately 1000m from it. What I wanted was a mobile beach hut (I've never understood spending £15k on a shed that's in the same place) something we could eat in, have a laugh in and - when needed - two or three of us could sleep in.
It's a completely factory standard LWB Caravelle and I'm very fond of it. Like Arthur (who now has my old one) we had a Granvia and it did EVERYTHING well. The only bonus with the Caravelle is it's longer and with 3x3x3 seating we can take out the back row completely and still use it as a family, and take out the back two rows when it's just me and her.
Obviously - VW is a bit of a swear word on forums like this, but I absolutely love it. Mostly because it's totally standard - but also because it's smart, not slow, good on fuel and OTHER VANS WAVE AT YOU!

My neighbour owns this though which, for me, is the bloody ultimate camper. He part converted it in the early 80s so he could take his family on holiday all over the UK - so it has space for beds, a kitchenette and toilet. I have first shout on buying it when the time comes. I have the space for it, and would LOVE to own it. I better get saving!
