On the initial van, £3-4k maybe. Just enough to get something serviceable for the 6-8 weeks we'll be in it. I figure buying in October and re-selling in late march, it will end up costing us pretty much nowt.

Longer term, no idea. Must admit, I rather like the look of some of the American style RVs, however, im not sure how practical they would be on Devon/Cornwall's lanes.

Found this for you, Jimmy:



If you passed your test before 1997 then you only need a car license (which astounds and pleases me, having passed in 95 )

It's aptly named, I see.

Let me know how that goes, I also passed in 2001 and want to upgrade my entitlement at some point.

I have the application form and medical done so far. Not posted my licence off as I'm needing to hire vans pretty regularly atm. When I spoke to a training provider in Northants, they reckoned that C1 and C were pretty similar in terms of difficulty, but adding the E made the C significantly more challenging than the C1 as its basically the difference between a Transit & Trailer vs a full on artic.

That's down to the rest loop holes... For the C1, it only needs a GVW of over 3.5t, where as the C is at least 12-18t.

Given that the five part test is the same in every way, pay the extra £200 and go straight for the C
