Help choosing a van

Hello!

My partner and I are hoping to purchase a van in 2023 to explore Australia for a year (or longer). We will mainly be along the South Coast so hoping to purchase it there, but can travel to wherever it is best to buy.

We’d want a good amount of space to make it liveable for the time and we’ll be learning as we go, so preferably we don’t want to do too much conversion.

I’d love any and all tips for what we should look for if possible! Also, do you have any recommendations for great liveable vans for around a AUS$50K budget or retailers along that South Coast of Australia who have good deals + are reliable.
