Hi Dave,
Maybe we should start a poll to see if a new forum is needed for cheap, 2wd 4-wheelers...? Adventure bangers perhaps...?
I've had vans in the past, from 6 months in Australia with a old Ford Falcon to Highland camping with a Vauxhall Rascal. Good fun and really practical with it.
You're right about pricing at the cheap end, you can pick up a Transit for the same money as a Kangoo - no Mercs though...  Thing is my last bike tour has left me broke so it has to be cheap to insure and super-economical too, hence the focus on the little vans.
That said, I like the idea of the Ford Galaxy in pbekkerh's post -(thanks for that phekkerh). I hadn't considered MPV's, thought they were all gas-guzzlers but it seems not. More space than a small van and comfier too. Might be a goer if I can find one for the right money...
