What's the best van that I can also sleep in?
I am looking to buy a passenger van which has at least 4 seats. I also want to be able to fold down the seats so that I can sleep in it. My problem is that I'm 6ft4 so would like something big enough that I can lie down straight in. Ideally it wouldn't be much over £2000, but I am willing to go a bit higher for the right vehicle. Good fuel economy and relatively cheap insurance are important too.

Rather than a van, which with a budget of £2000 will invariably get you something well-used and scruffy, you'd be better off buying an MPV. With a £2000 budget the best options for you to consider would be the VW Sharan, Ford Galaxy or Hyundai i800, all of which are large enough for your needs and relatively reliable. You could also look at a Renault Espace, though this would most likely be more problematic in the long-term.
