    Me and my mother are thinking to buy a minivan to build a camper. I dont know much about cars and my mother neither. Sso i asking you guys. Maybe you can give me some tips for a cheap modell. For us it would be important that it is long holding, cheap to buy and drive.

    Chevy Astro perhaps. It’s the only minivan I can think of that’s got a ladder frame.

    There’s really no “cheap” van anymore. Prices have skyrocketed in the last 3-4 years for anything that can be used as a work van or camper.

    What’s your budget?

    I don’t know where you are, but currency for your budget points to Europe.
    I would look for an extended Renault kangoo. Diesel ( dci) engine, with 90 or 110 hp.
    They exist as 7 seats or 5 with true comfort features or plain company vehicles/ utility, boxed in cabin and flat floor.

    As a work van : best in class. Can’t go wrong with so so so many in the streets.
    As a family car: best in class for practicality all around, but ZERO sexyness, or attractivity.

    Your need / choice.
