I have two of these, and they are growing fast  :yes:, in order to accommodate them + camping kit + swimming kit we need to move up to a van in the near future for trip's around the Uk and abroad.
Presently own a Peugeot Partner Outdoor.
Never owned or even contemplated owning a van until our last camping trip a few days ago.
been looking at VW's, Mercedes Vito's and Vauxhall Vivaro's.
Ideally would have two sliding cargo doors with opening windows and a lift up tailgate.
The centre load area will be caged for the bear's, the rear for camping kit etc.
Now, any experience of good reliable van's or recommendation's will be greatly received, I thank you  :popcorn:

I have a Vauxhall Vivaro a great van and not as over priced as the other 2 you mentioned, make sure you buy one with seats in the back, otherwise they are classed as commercials and the speed limit are slower
Here for a good time, not along time

Blimey they must take some feeding! My work van, the new Ford transit custom is more like a car to drive and I'm sure you can get them in various guises

I think he means what breed are they, he'll be asking where they were manufactured next and what warranty they come with.  :whistling:

We have Vivaros at work and they are great. Bonus is that you can drive them on a normal Cat B licence, you don't need a specific van licence.

You don't need a van for them they are big enough to pull a cart sorted :whistling:
