Personally think you would be better getting a caravan with rear sleeping area/seating area for the kids, side bathroom, and if possible a door/curtain to seperate the kids off during the night, you the make your bed up at night with the front seating area

If your kids are anything like most others they don't want to sleep on the van anyway, most prefer to sleep in the annexe tagged on to the awning. |

![]() Both got a swimming pool and in fact the Uk one has swimming at your door, fair enough there are no water slides in the picture but they could be added ![]() An island bed van may well not come into your budget and with some layouts others have to trudge pass you in your bed to go to the lav, be careful that the layout you choose is right for you and yours. I would go for a 4/5 or 6 berth, bunks in the rear for the kids if they choose to live in and makeup double at the front for you and wifey. The idea of the 6 berth with some layouts allow 4 for sleeping and the other two berths used as a permanent eating area. |

Been vanning for many years and agree kids at one end and parents at t'other is the best layout with mid wc/shower. Awning/Annexe can be good if the kids are older |

Thanks all, think we are going to look to hire one first and see if we like them, found a few sites renting them for about £500 for 4 weeks, not sure if this is a good price or not yet. Cheers OldGeezer for the site links and will look to book the Sequoia one on the way down to the south, any suggestions for a simliar park (near the sea ) in the south ![]() kids bedroom at the rear makes sense now ![]() |
