No idea where you and two boys are going to kip.

Would be great for going to the beach etc.

This is not the 100% ideal layout but if it goes for cheap, its a high spec. The pop up roof can have a high level bed in it, so that's one maybe, also you can sling a single bed over the front seats. Ideally I'd like 2 x swing captains chairs in the front that come round, so coupled with the rock n roll rear seats/bed, could create a total flat area to fill with duvets etc to just all slumber.

Toying with this type of home build.

A guy a few doors up has a 63 plate in white, looks absolutely lovely. Probably ok for the odd weekend away as a couple, wouldn't want to do a week in it though!

100% not James. It's for days out and the odd nights here and there, long weekend max. You can get awnings that you can leave on site so that's pretty good idea.

Loads of options, just unsure which route to take. Will take my time if this red marvel goes too high.

In recent years these Transporter vans have become more popular, especially with the OLD variants of the Bettle van being incorporated to the New range. There is a company that makes these with an entire room that slides out of the rear.

Its a conversion you can get added should you want to add night space
