    hi and well come ,for me the make would not be the issue but the lay out of the van would be what made the difference,most motorhomes are well looked after so it comes down to what van is best for you

    Well the Peugot boxter and fiat ducato are actually the same van, made in the same factory with slight differences. I have a ducato there are a few minor stuipd design featuers in it e.g when you change gear sometime your knee hits off the indicator turning it on or off and the handbreak is next to the door so your seat belt gets stuck in it and a few other sill things like that, I would go with the peugot just because of this. They are ecentially the same. As for price for a 4-5bearth coach build (this is where the cab and chassie is from a van but there is a camper part in the back) for a 1995 in good condition with full kitchen and bathroom you are looking at 10,000-15,000 euro.

    Not exactly the same , the Fiat and Peugeot have different engines . I'd prefer the Fiat , very very simple to work on .
