Looking to convert next year. Did my first van 15 years ago on a Ducato. Looking at Sprinters - but Crafters and MAN look good too. What's your favourite - and why?
I've just bought a brand new L3H3 Citroen Relay (same as the Ducato / Boxer ...) due to the large internal volume (15m2) - its pretty much the biggest you can get + it is a bit wider which helps with sleeping sideways.
However I was also really enticed by the VW Crafters. They look great and they have a galvanised body making them super resistant to rust.
Sprinter is always a good choice and top the FN50 van reliability survey.
I don't have experience with MAN. I have found the (older) Ford Transits to be very susceptible to rust.
Just beginning my build now, David. I went for a mwb Sprinter in end - simply because of how it makes me feel. I noticed every mechanic I spoke with lit up at the mention of a Sprinter - I noticed I did too. The heart wants what it wants lol
