Hi guys,

I'm from the UK - emigrating to SA in June. Me and my wife have always had campers (VWs) here, and we're thinking it'd be a great way to get about in Oz and see a bit of the place.

Ideally I'd like to buy a van and do a conversion myself, but I'm wondering if there are any insurance issues with that? Here in the UK, some companies (more and more), won't insure a home-converted van, or make it incredibly expensive/difficult to do.

Also, is it very expensive to run two vehicles in Oz? At first we were thinking we'd just have a camper van as our day-to-day car, too, but with 3 kids as well, that's a pretty big van! We'd rather have a car and a van for the weekends, but only if it doesn't cost the earth.

Any advice much appreciated!

Cheers,

Will
