Hi Richard,
My ultimate aim is to do a trans Africa trip with the family (0.8, 4,5) in about 3 years after a couple of trial runs into Libya and Morocco.
I'm aiming for an 80 series Landcruiser [I'm biased - see sig ;-)] and will take a custom built trailer when with the family.
My main concern would be the children getting bored of all the driving, which I suspect would be worse if rattling around in an old LR or lorry, although with the lorry you might have the space to let the children loose in the back whilst driving.
My plan for the trailer is to build it as a mobile kitchen with a tent on it for my wife and I and then another on the 80s roof for the children.
On the budget side of things, what ever you do will end up costing more than you planned ;-), but also bear in mind that there are LRs/LCs/Trucks surviving in the harshest of conditions around the world in stock form - you don't really need all the fancy kit that we all want.
