Morning everyone! 
Thank you for letting me join the group.  I’m searching for my perfect van.  Not too old (1998 onwards). Not 
Not too high a mileage and must have either a bathroom or a dedicated toilet space.   Anyone got any ideas on where I could look or what I need to look out for? Any help gratefully received! 
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Due to an error in my navigation we bought our first van, a Duetto from Meridian Motorhomes in Bosham. We should have been going to look at others in Southampton.
They are a small family business and very helpful with choosing our first van. They had a good choice of vans at the lower end of the price range.

Hi Ali and welcome from the Forest.

We bought all three of our vans privately.  I think the most important things to get straight in your mind are what facilities you want on board and what size of vehicle you are comfortable with.  Then have a look at what some dealers have to offer and also what is available privately.

Good luck!

As Nick said research and thinking what you would would like put on to a list helps a lot. Good luck with your search.
