We bought an LDV convoy - ex post office crew van with windows in the back and an extra set of windows in the side as there used to be two rows of seats. (Yes, it is still bright red but now has the addition of a jauntily angled chimney on the roof!) It took a while but we managed to convert it and it works really well. I insisted on a shower (softie, I know) so that took up a bit of room, but it has a large double bed and most 'mod cons'. It was really low mileage when we bought it, and hopefully will keep going for a while.

The LDV is not the best vehicle though - not a turbo diesel and really, really slow up hills, but other than that, it does the job. If you spot us at any festivals, feel free to come for a nose around.
