  1. I bought a used Transit Westfalia a few years ago. What you need to know is that the commercial van underpinnings are not made to be used for long — they’re for a quick 200k miles in 4-6 years. After a while, everything starts going wrong in these things.

    Also, you can’t enter many European cities in a campervan because they have parking restrictions.

    On the other hand, in many European countries you are speed restricted to 80-100 kmh when you tow something. That is seriously slow, especially when you see Campervans overtaking you at 130, 140 or 160.

    It’s great to be able to pull up into many camping sites without advance reservations, even in high season. But when you realistically compare the total costs, using AirBnB and going to restaurants is always going to win, unless you have 6 kids and therefore plan for family holidays for 25 or so years.

  2. Campervans are superb day-trippers as well as being handy for camping. Caravans are not, so you only get to day trip in your car. A day at the beach surfing with a car or a campervan? No contest.

  3. the most disturbing thing is those gray scrambled eggs form Jonny and the overcooked fried egg from Jason. You should’ve brought Ramsay along

  4. If you live in a city, no driveway and no garage, then it’s the motorhome hands down, also if you are on the move a lot, motorhome. You can buy a motorhome with a wc and shower

  5. The driving and exploring is the fun part of the van which you can’t do well with a caravan. Just get a tent and park at a campsite for toilets

  6. I will have u know i am extremely cheap and will simply buy a Twingo, fold the rear seat and the front passenger seat, inflate a mattress and sleep on it.

  7. Hello, is it ok to travel to Europe using a caravan as a trailer, full of personal belongings?
