How do you price a 2nd hand van, is there a cheat sheet which you can use as there are so many out there it's hard to see accurately appraise what's there.
I am undecided on what would be best for us, budget will probably make the final call unfortunately. What I do know is I have expensive taste, as everything I have liked and investigated has been top £. :/
Would a van with parts you like if cheap be a good base and then remove / refit.some other bits. Again I am not sure on cost breakdown.
I like sliding beds for bringing the kids up close and safe storage behind the seats, this makes California's seem appealing as that's automatically covered, and they hold their price apparently. My wife I think likes the LWB as the fancy brand new ones we saw did seem much larger inside.
I found a van on eBay with Reimo roof and Variotech 3000 sliding bed

I know Wessex have a bad rep at least on tyre load rating but any 2nd hand van I guess that's now a risk as owners could have changed them. I don't like the kitchen units with giant tambour doors and my wife would like an integrated microwave. But just the roof and bed are big ticket items, assuming the electrics is half decent is that a sound base to have another kitchen put in?
Are many converters willing to do such work as it's a fraction of a full conversion and their kitchen is their signature really.
I would love a euro6 van as withing the proposed ulez expansion but not sure the cost of the van will outweigh the fines/fees I would get on days it goes through a zone.
Sorry for the wall if text, just starting out and trying to understand the true cost of things.
