2 + 2 kids. a Greyhound, 4 bikes and camping gear, all in one vehicle???????
OK, not all at the same time.......very often!!
Family are now all getting into cycling and camping, and our little corsa is not a suitable vehicle to carry anything substantial.
Days out, weekends away, etc are becoming an issue as unable to carry all the gear.
I have been looking around at BIG estates (Volvo V70...) and vans to do up (VW T4/Vito), on a "small" budget.
Anyone have similar experiences?

Both ok, Galaxy substantially better tho for space, comfort. Jazz like the Tardis !!!
We've done trips from N.Wales to Portsmouth, IOW, Newcastle and Scottish borders.
Kids now 18/21, so do their own thing more. Octavia still the regular rig, Diesel and great mileage. Punto for me, bike and dogs only works ok too.
I too have a Corsa and this is what I plan to do....

With perhaps a bike up there too, and some bikes on the back?
Greyhounds are GREAT! Our one does the transformer like morph into a tiny little ball in the car. He takes up NO space
Or... rent a 4WD. I'm a big one for having the smallest car you can get away with, so you're not lugging around a whole lot more car all the time, just for the once or twice a year usage. So trailers, roof boxes or rentals are great. Depending upon how many miles you do, they may easily offset the cost of a larger car.
Have finally gone for a Ford Galaxy, "W" reg @ £1300.
