Great purchase with the camper, loving the Volvo write up too  I think I’ll just stick with diesel for now… I don’t do a massive mileage to be fair!

Ya should have said - I'm not that far from where it was!

I did think that  but we were tight for time!

200k achieved. I have been using this almost daily and it's been great. It has a soft ride with chunky tyres so soaks up all of the cratered roads, the engine is smooth and runs on many % veg. Great van.

Could do with a thermostat!

Aye maybe! It does settle at 70-80 while cruising.

They just float along in a very French way. The only reason I've never bought one is the roof is too high to take ladders on and off.

Really wish the Caddy floated along.  The ride is the single thing about it which bugs me the most.  It really is bloody harsh.

They have quite a harsh ride but I found my Caddy handled really well to make up for it.

That it does.  It's absolutely possible to forget there's a big box behind you.  Though the damping on the rear is so stiff it tends to skip around on even vaguely uneven surfaces.  

I reckon the spring rates are fine, it could just do with slightly softer dampers.
