Thanks. This was/is our original preferred van as it fits all the criteria. However, finding a decent affordable example of one has been a challenge hence why we've expanded our search to bigger vans. But anyway, thanks everyone for your help. I'm still going round in circles somewhat but am...

Thanks, appreciate your time for giving guidance. Finding a caravan has definitely been a lot more complicated than I first bargained for!
