Yeah, loving my new toyWelcome Matt , like a kid at Christmas at the mo theneveryone loves new toys.
So what have you bought ? Is it a van , camper, project ??
Whats next for it ?
It’s already converted & ready to go…moving up/down (depending on your perspective) from a caravan. Caravan was great but campervan suits us better now…and has more street cred
First trip is next weekend with the 3 kids….we got a drive away tent awning with it too

Enjoy your first season, but of advice don't invest too heavily in stuff until next season and you know how you'll use it. This season grab a notebook and keep it in the van to jot down good ideas, stuff you see on other vans, also what doesn't work, nice places to go, then make a plan over winter.
And remember the golden rule, in a small van everything has to have at least 2 uses
Where you off on the first outing ?
Having done caravans,campervan and motorhome for me hands down i much prefer our camper .
But you'll soon realise its all a compromise and space is very much at a premium in a van ....especially when its raining .
1 person does 1 thing at 1 time .

And yes, a sideways move sounds fair!It's a broad church, let's agree on a sideways move?
