With you all the way! £35k plus for a reasonable second hand posh van, which is an awful lot of nights in decent accommodation, which a camper isn't. I have never had to tax, MOT or insure a b&b, nor do they depreciate and need maintenance. Access for campers is largely limited to fucking awful sites, access for tents far less so. Chemical shitters can REALLY go forth and multiply.
I think I am now banned from the 'campers' thread...

Pass. I still don't get camper vans/mobile homes/whatever you want to call them.
If you're in a vehicle, then you might as well drive to the nearest hotel/guesthouse/B&B/AirBnB and stay there, and then drive to the place you really want to get to.
Camping, on the other hand, great. Tent, sleeping roll, sleeping bag. You can put it on a bike, you can carry it in a rucksack, stay in the middle of nowhere inaccessible by a vehicle or just stopping wherever you like. Nice.
Sleeping in a glorified van next to a bucket of excrement, on the other hand, seems to me the worst of both worlds.
