You'd probably get a decent transit custom with around 100k on for that with cam chain and not belt which is by far the better version (pre 2016).

Vitos are quite small and have sliding doors on both sides I believe which could be a plus or a hindrance.

Id say if you don't plan on leaving stuff in there worth robbing then windows probably best bet.

Tbh 6 grand won't get you much, van prices are through the roof at the moment. You're likely to be looking at something pretty old on high mileage , and vans tend to get hammered.

Not my thing but this is from an old acquaintance of mine who converted his van for that exact purpose. At the end of the video he goes through the things he adjusted and why. Subs in english on and there are some good tips to be had:

Looking to spend no more than £6000 on a medium sized van mainly to fish from my bedchair being fixed in the van, any tips and things to avoid please? Would windows increase or decrease the likelihood of it being broke into? Also Van's to avoid or go for would be appreciated, I like the mercedes vito but not started seriously looking yet.
