Should we or shouldn't we

As the title says should we or shouldn't we.
We have been offerered an Adria Forma 2 berth caravn in immaculate condition with a full awning and all accessories for £800. It's a work colleague of mine and her parents owned the van and then gave it to my colleague who doesn't use it.
I have a 2.5 auto zt-t 180 with a twin electrics tow bar already so no problem with towing it.
The dilema is we are a family of 2 adults 3 kids but one being 18 next 14 and youngest 10. 18yr old obviously isn't interested but the other two are. wonder if we can get 4 plus labrador in a 2 berth.We had vans for a long time starting with a Lunar venus 5 berth then a brand new twin axle 6 berth elddis emperor then a 5 berth hobby 540uk. I'd love to get it especially as she said she will take 100 per month to make it easier.
Any thoughts on the dilems..I'll post pictures soon

Simple do the same as we did, we slept in the 2 berth, kids and dog in the awning. You can let them in the van for feeding [optional]

get it and pitch a small 2/3 man tent outside for the kids.........

If the 'van is dry, at that price, its an absolute bargain - go for it!
We spent years with a two berth, two kids in the awning, and then as one of them got older, £25 worth of pup tent for him to sleep in.
