Me and my better half have been trailer tenting it for the last few years, and had some great holidays, but, unfortunately due to the on-set of time, bad backs, amongst other things, we have decided that a caravan is the way to go, hence my purchase of my diesel ZT saloon.
BUT.

All has not been well in the new car front for me unfortunately, and the ZT has and still is eating away at any attempt to save up for a caravan.
So, this year I was hoping to be our last in the trailer tent, and next year our first in a 'van. Looks like that will have to wait a while as no saving has been done so far!!!

What I'm building up to is this, I will be brand new to "vanning" where as my better half used to have a van years ago with her ex, what ever I do eventually purchase will have to be in the low budget area to begin with.
What does everyone recommend as a first time small van that we will enjoy?
I read lots about damp in vans, is it ever possible to get one thats a good few years old without?
When I do finally get one, how do I stop damp getting to it as it'll be stored outside?

Many thanks
