Greetings
My name is Jon and Im a biker/travel enthusiast who is looking to give the mundane life of a 9/5 job and go on a permanent adventure. :)
As the title reads this is very much a cry for help and advice as I have no idea where to start.....other than buying a van.
So that would be my first question. What would people recommend? My only stipulation is that it be a long wheel base van. Perhaps a Ford Transit, Iveco or Mercedes Sprinter? Hoping someone on here has experience with any of the above and can share some knowledge on reliability and what they like fit out and live in.
Look forward to getting more involved on here and talking to you like minded folks.
Cheers
Jon
Hi Jon
Welcome to the forum!
Congrats on making the choice to switch to van life, no many people regret it.
I can`t really give any advice regarding a long wheel base van as I have a short wheel base Peugeot Boxer but I would say one of the most popular vans would be the Mercedes Sprinter.
Personally if I was looking to build my own van I would go for a long wheel base, high top Ford Transit, (I`ve always been a fan of the Transit) probably an ex minibus with the windows already installed.
The best thing to do is go and take a look at a few and see what you think and watch a load of YouTube videos.
