1. Understanding your needs<\/h2><\/div>
\nIf you plan to go away mainly for weekends or short breaks, a compact model like the Westfalia Club Joker Urban<\/a> could be just what you’re looking for. For longer journeys or trips with several passengers, models like the Jules Verne<\/a> offer more space and comfort.<\/p>\n
\nA couple will not have the same needs as a family with children. Make sure that the van has a sufficient number of approved berths and seats.<\/p>\n
\nIf you like to get out into the countryside, opt for a model with 4-wheel drive for better grip on difficult terrain. For urban use, however, a smaller, more manoeuvrable van will be ideal.<\/p>\n
\nIf you plan to use your van on a regular basis, investing in a model with additional comfort features (heating, insulation, solar panels) may be a good idea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>2. Choosing the right model<\/h2><\/div>
