Ocean or very high spec Beach camper

[GollyOlly]

EVERY van has a compromise. Figure out what you need most and then go for it. We've loved the Ocean but are always envious of the larger Crafter 5.4s until we see them struggling to get under the height barriers. But then when it's time to make the bed up for the evening, we wish we had a larger van! Oye vai! Like I said, EVERY van has a compromise.

I think the Ocean is the more British set up, accounting for our rubbish weather. In France in summer, I'd take a beach and be cooking and living outside, in the Lakes in Spring (or summer!) I'd want the Ocean.
I'm frightened by some of the apparently unstable attempts I've seen to boil water / cook inside a Beach.
Ocean is still one heck of an everyday workhorse for moving sofas, tip runs etc.
