Any advise where to start. What to do first? Camper van, Motor home, caravan? All on my own uuh. Maybe I like it or maybe not any more after a while. A camper van is really small but u can park it on any road for nothing compared to a motor home or caravan. Is it safe anywhere? Where can one find a relatively cheap one? What model is a good camper van? Is a Toyota Hiace good or a Mazda? Can I have my TV and internet in a camper van or fridge and water?Very overwhelming. I would be thankful for any tips.

Welcome Zena888. Best advise I can give is to read up on what you want. Then decide what that is. Then follow this forum for further recommendations from those much more informed than I on this forum

OK Zena, first create a checklist for yourself and this will give you some idea of what you need (your budget will also determine your choice obviously!)
1) How many of you will be travelling?
2) How long will you be travelling?
3) Which is more important for you - Ease of driving or living space
4) Diesel or Petrol - Auto or Manual
5) Do you want to use your rig as a permanent home (i.e. will you be living on the road full time?)
6) Pick the most important to you from this list; Full kitchen, Shower AND toilet, toilet, air conditioning, storage space
7) Do you want to tow something behind you on your travels? (A lot of people are VERY comfortable doing this but others want to just drive a 'one piece rig' i.e. a motorhome/campervan)
If you work on the above, this will give you a general idea as to what you should buy. Once you have narrowed it down, come back and tell us what you have chosen and we can help again.
See you out there!

Hi and welcome Zena888, enjoy here and out in the playground.
Only you can decide what to travel in so do your research including looking through all sections of this great forum, listen to any info given by the members here and take on board what you like.
Maybe make a list of what you want and don't want and maybe a list of, for and against an idea.
