    Big van for long holibobs small van for day/weekend trips. I'm lucky like you I have both and as you say the bed issue is super important especially after a long day driving to Spain for example when you just want to flop down and crash out. Good work as always Shaun, later. 🤟

    Once parked up I prefer the bigger van but height restrictions barriers would be an issue with many car parks as you could be driving around for a while trying to find a place to park A low roof van will also in itself be more fuel efficient and stealthier.

    big is best but a none family person in small van wins. overall its about location and what van you can use for free or get parked daily

    We had a small t23 we used for holidays and that was ideal. When moves full time into a van we chose a LWB Crafter, for full time it's ideal 👍

    Not sure about adding a pop top.. I think that will pretty much restrict you getting under the 2m barriers?

    Surfshark and Eccoflow lol its on every video 😂 can't get away from them lol
    Anyway personally I'd have a bigger van..if you're single person maybe a smaller one would be fine but we had a vw t5 and two of us and dogs there was no room..no have a ford custom high top with fixed bed and what a difference....

    Big for me but the layout makes a big difference.
    Rented a LWB VW Crafter earlier this year. It was massive but poorly laid out so less room than your Transit.
    Have you checked out Nienke Borgman's van build? Super cool although it doesn't have the permanent bed

    You need an electric blanket in the big van. That way, you will not have to have a heater running all night.

    Nice video thanks! Do you notice a difference in driving like with noise/vibration etc? I have a big van (Renault Master) and my dog really hates driving in it. I’m wondering if she would prefer a smaller van if it was quieter etc? But I’ve only ever driven this one!
