I use mine as an everyday vehicle. It depreciates less than a car. Yes £120 to fill her up is painful. Your figures are about right Matt although the servicing is more expensive.
Campsites have went up a fair bit. Some are now £35 a night with electric. I used to get a Premier Inn family room at that price.
I also find it a bit cramped for the 4 of us. Fine for a weekend but not a longer trip. We haven’t slept in ours for a couple of years.

Ha, that’s just reminded me of one I had to pick up a few years back, from the Royal Marines college at Dartmouth, the transport manager said it was the very last one in HM Armed Forces. It was a 16-seat bus, and the bloody thing needed two hands to get it into gear! Huge lumbering beast, it was horrible to drive.
Has anyone with a camper recovered any of their costs by renting them out, or has anyone looked into the maths of renting verses purchasing e.g. via Outdoorsy?
Just wandering what the experience or costs where like (as someone who will have access to a pot of pension cash later this year but wary about buying a van due to post-COVID/imminent electrification price crash...)
