I am tempted to yep. Although it would mean losing bike travelling space, which was why I bought the van in the first place. Also really not sure my woman is the camping type, however she said she will have a go, I can't see it being more than once.

2.5tdi, it's a van spec with 5 seats and colour coded bits. I paid 4500 for it and tbh it's an investment. I think it's probably already worth more money.

banded steels can look nice

Alloys on a van is a bit weird imo

im going to bus fest at the beginning of september, so hopefully come back with some good ideas after seeing what other people have done inside the vans and with wheel choice. wheels can be funny things, some pictures they look amazing but actually close up in real life they dont seem to sit right etc.
taking a long drive down to milton keynes on friday to pick a bike up, will see what its like on a long journey on fuel. im over 600 miles to the tank round town currently and its still got a bit left in.
