Buying a LWB van to convert into a camper van - can you help?
I am looking to purchase a second hand lwb panel van to convert into a camper van, I have decided on one of the above vans as the rear van body is the same as you know.
I am struggling to make a decision as to which manufacturer i.e. engine.
Can you please give me your recommendation as to which manufacturer I should consider purchasing taking into account, engine reliability, fuel consumption, cost of spares and ease of working on.

I think the engines and drivetrains are all the same. Certainly Citroen and Peugeot are. Be aware that, though you can get a voluminous panel van, the reason why most 'motorcaravans' are coachbuilt is to avoid issues over insulation and condensation when sleeping inside. It's a much bigger job than you might first think to properly insulate a panel van in order to sleep in it.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
