We have a 1982 Viscount which has been re-upholstered, re-laminated benches and tabletop, new stove, built in microwave, pantry added and new mattresses. And on our last trip she had to have 2 new springs. Now she bounces so well, everything moves more in the cupboards! But we love her. The layout is what we needed and the price was what we could afford. We've had her for 10 years.

I love that you can have as much fun with something older as something brand new and really expensive. It is what I enjoy about camping. I parked next to some people at Tea Gardens with a similar van and they loved it and were having a great time too. Thanks for posting pics.

How much heavier is your larger van ValnRob? We find we can pull this viscount with an XTrail.
