The...

Hi Folks, Is this route OK for for a 20' on road van? Cheers, Kev

Feeling DONE! All that worry about making sure there was nothing in the way of fruit and veg when I crossed the border - and not a single quarrantine stop in sight! (from Dartmoor).

I'm looking to buy a van to go solo in the near future and was considering a Toyota HiAce LWB High Roof but the Hyundai iLoad caught my eye. Well priced and a reviewer said it may be popular with Grey Nomads. Anyone here have one or met a fellow traveller with one? Opinions? TIA - Bob
