We normally camp for our holidays but a solid metal shell seems an increasingly good idea after some of the recent summers we've 'enjoyed'. A split screen VW with a Porsche engine would be nice, ditto a new Hymer but realistically we're talking about something in the £3-5k bracket.

I see groovy vans at festivals but it needs to sleep 2 adults and 2 kids and be reliable. What I'd really like is a classic British 60s campervan but can't be doing with too much spannering these days. So what do people who know about these things reckon?
