Looking to buy a s/h van shortly, thinking 14-16’ , island bed, probably pop top, to around $15g, towed behind 200tdi D1. Plan to tow it around for 6 months. No off-road as such, maybe some dirt tho.

Any thoughts on what to look for, or more importantly what brands not to look for?

Cheers
Rick

I would be looking at a Trakmaster caravan, These are real off road vans and well built. The smaller vans are usually a lot narrower ands this makes them a lot easier to tow.
You might need to increase the budget but you will be getting a value van and shouldnt lose any money on resale.

Unfortunatly the budget wont stretch far past 15, the trackmasters do look like a good thing tho.
