because i have a kangoo van and a newish car.the car barely gets used apart from holidays and days out.i have everything on my doorstep so dont need to drive many places.2 mins walk from the beach so im thinking maybe im better off having a decent sized crew van.

There are other benefits when using a van or pick-up: -

Taxable benefit for the van and fuel
The same principles apply to van drivers
For 2012/13 a flat reportable P11D value of £3000 applies to all company vans for private use.
Vans with a second row of seats such as double-cab pickups can still qualify as vans provided they have a one tonne payload, even when a hardtop is fitted.
The £3000 can be reduced if the following applies.
The van is unavailable for part of the year (as with cars however the van must have been unavailable for a minimum of 30 consecutive days to qualify for a reduction).
You make a contribution towards the private use of the van.
The van is shared – in this case the £3000 is divided on an appropriate basis between each of the drivers.
2012/13 Van fuel benefit applies if the £3000 charge above is applied and fuel available for free private use
The 2012/13 Van fuel benefit is a flat rate of £550.
The taxman does not count driving the van between home and work as private mileage.
So if you take the van home at night and do no other mileage, you do not have to pay company van tax.
Newer models tend to have a higher spec, i.e. air con, which is great if you've got the kids on board for a long journey.

Hi
A windie around our parts has an old Ford Transit MWB minibus that he took the rear seats out of and uses that for a private and business use with his wfp tank in the back. He did have four kids at one time although they are nearly all grown up now. Plenty of room for the family and plenty for his stuff.
