RunningRonnie 5 Sep 9:23am, 5 Sep 2024 3,329 posts	0 RunningRonnie I'm nervous about the whole thing. Excited too. I really want it and know we will use it. We've done our research and know it's the right van. Happy with the deal too. Happy that we can afford it. However, it's a huge commitment. Big sum of money, much bigger van. A lot of unknowns; so different to a campervan. Plus I still really like the VW that we are trading in. It really doesn't feel like I've had the VW for 3 years, it still feels like a new toy to me.

The bigger van will be brilliant for staying in - and your compromise is likely to come from where you drive and where you park. A bit more thought / planning can overcome that easily. (Coming from someone who has both a T5 and a 7m Rollerteam Moho)

Having a bit more space means we're more likely to use it in quite poor weather. We also have refillable gas, which is a great advantage in France. We had no issues with topping up last year.

Have now felt so exhausted and washed out at the start of a holiday. Also a tad emotional seeing all the other dogs going on holiday. Seems to be a super car rally going on and surrounded by lots of lovely cars and no doubt money
