Thanks for the reply's I have this morning halted the sale as I agree with the comments so far both this site and others, The risk is too much regarding the damp issue and yes if I had a hanger to do it in that would be a lot easier so its back to the searching and hopefully the twin bed van...

Hi thanks for the input Yes the damp is the one issue I am concerned with the breaks I can sort as for the value if I use Liquid roof that is not a problem as I would keep the van until it rots so to speak. The dealer is going to do a full damp test on it for me first if that shows up any...

Hi Parksy I am sorry to say that I totally disagree "The best secondhand van on the market" Is surly the one you ultimately buy after long hours of research and sleepless nights visiting house to house to find the ONE yes your bargain van the one that fits all...

Thanks Sue I did Google it as well and I have a suspicious feeling it is no longer in print which is a shame as it would have been very handy in my search for the best secondhand van on the market. Looks like I will be reading lots of web stuff instead. Neil
