Hi Shane... just thought I'd touch base with you.... my husband and I have just upgraded as we wanted something a bit bigger so we can start taking our grandkids along with us.... we have our replaced unit for sale on Gumtree atm... not pushing a sale as your price rang indicates that you might be looking at a larger unit than what we have.. but our VW LWB 35 is a magic unit..... was very reliable.. so much so that my girlfriend and I have done 2 trips together...Daintree and Darwin and the National Parks... has crimsafe on all sliding windows so freecamped most of the time... very easy to drive and very maneuverable.... just a suggestion...Marilyn
The larger van will work out best after you get used to its size . One thing if a diesel
? The size and weight is not that critical fuel consumption wise compared to petrol engine . Driving appropriately! We tend to start on budget and work our size, weight higher depending on licence ? All the best . Enjoy .
Thanks for that suggestion Marilyn, I'm pretty sure I may have found your unit or one very much like it (although it is listed by an Ann Marshall - https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/black-rock/campervans-motorhomes/volkswagen-lt35-2005-motorhome-campervan/1230436618), we've looked at that size of motorhome and decided we need to go for the bigger type of unit. What we're looking for are the refurbished Kea units such as the Kea River or Kea Beach, sold by RV Sales Centre - www.rvsalescentre.com.au https://www.rvsalescentre.com.au/2013-kea-river-6-berth
