vw transporter ..

drives like a car and does close to 40 mpg (if your careful)
fits the bike all my gear and a matress in
i do about 20000 miles a year in mine and it's reliable as the day is long (currently on 190000 miles)

not just there for race days .. track days .. collecting and selling various bike parts .. camping .. plus everything else i carry around.

mines a combi .. so it's got 5 seats too

am considering getting a decent pop up awning but wouldn't swap the van for the world

I'm selling my Vw T5. awesome van 178bhp can either tow bike or put bike in back with all spares and can even sleep next to it with my bed setup built in... pm for more details if interested

I like that, shame it's way out of budget.

I've got one of those, fits on the back of my Hymer motorhome and yes the towbar will take that much load-it's a Mercedes Sprinter base vehicle.
To add my 2p to the discussion, when WJB was racing my TZ we used a tent-for the first 2 meetings both of which ****ed with rain. I then bought an old Hymer and had a rack fabricated to hang the TZ on the back-job done. I would avoid tents, if it rains you are going to be cold, wet and miserable and have nowhere to get your gear dry. A van would be the best bet-at least you can hang wet gear in it and sleep in it.
