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) Thanks, that's comforting to hear. Yes, we were chatting yesterday and I guess a big difference will be at the moment we find a campsite in the area we want to visit and then set out every day to a different part of that island, returning to the same campsite. I think in the bigger van we're more likely to choose a couple of campsites so that we can explore smaller areas without moving the van and then schedule visits of places on the way to the next stop over. We'll also have much more choices of places to go, as we will be far happier in official stopovers that are not campsites. So maybe a couple of nights in a forestry "stay the night" type of place followed by a night in a campsite.

We're all packed and will be setting off for Skye soon. We're planning to park in the car park for Bla Bheinn, sleeping in the van then climbing the hill first thing tomorrow morning. I hope the weather is as good as it looks on the forecast. Hugs to you @Mandymoo , I hope you have a lovely holiday.
