I have a 2010 van that is a perfect spec for me. If I was buying a new van, I wouldn’t change a thing for layout or spec.
But…
The ride is so crashy and on the motorway, it does sway when passing large vehicles. It’s a bit of a boat.
I know full air won’t eradicate/help totally but it will go a lot way (I hope). Comfort is the main driver to upgrade.
I’ve already changed to C from CP tyres, pressures are correct for 4T van (55/65psi), rear shocks changed, front struts changed.
I know that spending considerable £££’s won’t increase the van value at all but if I was to change my van, it would be considerably more £££’s and still may not have air suspension or a layout as good as I have. A more expensive van will probably depreciate more as well.
I can see me keeping the van for at least another 5 years, maybe more and I drive over 10k miles a year so it would get good use.
Thoughts welcome, I’ve got thick skin.
