Talk to me about camper vans, please!
Discussion
Actually, as soon as I read the OP I thought of the Bongo.
Seat looks a bit grubby but I'd have it, especially if the price could come down a bit towards your mum's budget

I've only heard good things about these! (I'm sure a couple of PH'ers have them)

Not quite as awesome as that 'bago, but this looks big enough, runs on LPG and should be able to keep up with traffic:

Yep i have a Bongo..... daily driver too....mobile office... 4x4 auto...diesel.... easy to drive...reliable...30 mpg... and runs 40% Veg oil/Diesel mix and with veg @ 440p litre cheaper than diesel... and there is a Bongo Club.... www.bongofury.co.uk the forum is public too... Bongo's sleep 4 too....
The key thing about campers is finding where you're willing to compromise. If you want comfort, you get something big but they're more expensive to run and more importantly, you can't just pop down to Tesco in them. You're massively restricted where you can go, to the extent where you're better off with a caravan so you can at least have something to get around in.
The best compromise is a small van with a pop-top. They're small enough to get around towns in but with enough room to stand. It's surprising how easy it is to make a small space comfortable, although if you're with a partner you have to get on
The huge winnebago things might seem like a good idea but you essentially have to go from campsite to campsite, so you might as well take a car and rent static-caravans.
