I'm looking for ideally a 3 or possibly 4 berth 530 for myself and my daughter but may consider a 430 if I can't find the right 5 series. Budget around the £13K mark. I've been looking at stuff from 05 to 2016 (started looking at £6K vans then got seduced by newer and shinier!

Does anyone have a van they are thinking about selling or know of someone who does? I'm a genuine buyer, will travel for the right van and as mechanic by trade I'm not bothered about the odd niggle or issue that may need addressing. I'm looking to source something for the last week in August.

Think carefully about the washroom you want, the timeframe you mention coverrs three different designs.

A post 2010 van will have the higher awning rail and door frame and slimmer shape roofs.

Do you want:
Cold water only?
Hot water heater?
Shower equipment?
Fixed rear bed or lounge benches?
EHU only electrics or battery and charger?
Fridge with digital controls and interior light or analogue controls and no interior light?
Galvanised steel tubing body frame or non galvanised?
With or without door wastebin?

All these things and more depend on van age or options fitted at the factory or aftermarket.
