Landrover, tents on the roof option is a good one. Have a lot of fun with 4x4. Don't want to live in one for 2 years though. But hey, bring the V8 along yourself, Channa, you can pull us out of al the mud!

that iveco is the 5ton version mate its not what you want cos its over the weight you require also its not a xlwb so space is not there if you want it
 
I have a Hymer that I need to sell due to moving, I have reposted it. It realy is a fantastic van and ideal for your usage. I have even put an oven in it (proffessionally) so it has all the advantages of a LHD and and oven, full sized fridge.
3 great double beds a centre dining room so plenty of free space even if you leave the back bed up (thats what we do -- did :(
It has air rides , cruise control and is winterised

Please give me a call if you are interested, I could meet you somewhere if its easier, gives me a day out :)

What kinda price you hoping to pay? I have the van at £12,250 at the mo (offers around). If I get full asking I will throw in the safari room, its great :)
 
Sounds to me with that budget, you need to buy a van. I'd recommend joing sbmcc - the self build motorcaravanners club, but you only get 10 posts for free, then you have to join. The £15 membership may well save you some money. Iveco's are very popular with self-builders and are good workers. I really don't think you'll get much in the way of a motorhome for £3k.
To fir 3 people and a dog in comfortable does also take some space or you'll probably kill each other.
