I’m looking to buy my first campervan, and have been doing some research, and looking at a few. I know what I’m looking for on the habitation side, and I’ve had no trouble finding ones that meet those criteria. I’m not mechanically minded so I’m having a bit more trouble when thinking about the base vehicle, which is where I would be grateful for your advice.
I intend using it for working on my laptop on the road for a few weeks, or while away from home at the office, or for short holidays of up to four weeks. I want to be able to use it on a daily basis to replace my car. When I say daily, to be fair, I often don’t use my car on more than two days a week when I work from home. Obviously reliability is important, but I’m also keen on something with good resistance to rust.
I’ve also been looking into possible upgrades like bed flares - seems like Flarespace or Vanspeed are the main names people mention, but I’m still not sure what to choose.
I’d be very interested in your thoughts on this, rust, fuel consumption, and anything else you think might be relevant.
