    No, not a van! Same issue as a ute, except if the weather's rubbish you'll still have to move their furniture 'cos it'll stay dry in the van! Otherwise a blimming good idea.

    VW's are generally very reliable.

    I would go for a EF/EL Falcon. I reckon they were the best of the E series by a country mile. If you look hard enough you could probably find one on LPG.

    Apart from head gasket problems which are easy to fix, they are pretty well bullet proof.

    Dave.
