I started with a open trailer towed behind the Saab I had at the time, after picking up 3 points for a MW10 after using the Outside lane of a motorway to overtake a centre lane cruiser I decided to buy a cheap van and haven't looked back as I have just bought my 6th Van.

But you do need to work out how many times a year your going to use it to justify the cost of road tax, Insurance and MOT against hiring one

I will utilise the 4 wheels apart from going to the track, example when the weather is shite going to work, shopping bla bla, so it will get used. I can sleep in an estate car, seats folded and sleeping bag etc. a well looked after 2nd hand estate will be cheaper overall including running costs than an equivalent van. I can try this for a couple of years until such time I may have enough money to go all out for a van. I think this is the way to go at the moment

a few poeople I've seen use Voyager or old Espace, just need to remove the screen/top fairing but also means you have to take everything out to sleep and also are always 'in fumes'

thins is none of the reasons I opted for a trailer; gazebo up, bike out, kit to one side, sleeping bag on camp bed...done

I love my van with all of my heart, I wouldn't swap it for anything.

buy a VW and keep it forever. (had mine for 17½ years now) I use it for everything that I can't do on a bike.
