    You are low on money as it seems, so forget DVS.
    2x turntables that are at least decent for turntablism will cost you 500-800 bucks EACH.
    They will require monthly service and upkeep, plus needles, tonearms, slipmats and timecode vinyls (they wear out quickly). So we are talking at least an upkeep of 50-100 bucks PER MONTH.

    Hence I would hugely recommend on getting a controller with good jogs (like the reloop) and if you master turntablism on this controller you can go any route you like.
    For example while I still have 2 turntables, I prolly use them once every 2-3 months with a few friends for some layed back session at home. I only DJ on my controller at gigs and I can do I would say 99.9% of all turntablism stuff I can pull off on the controller just as well as on the turntables. Sure you have to get used to no platters moving on their own, but that is an adjustment that takes 10min.

    That is my 2ct after 25+ years of DJing…

    Awesome thank you so much for the insight. I bought A single PT01 for fun which arrived yesterday. I don’t mind spending the money for the right kit, it’s more i can’t envisage decent turntables surviving the vanlife (also I need space to like.. Sleep :p

    Will enjoy the basics for now :p

    Glad to help and trust me it is not only basics.
    You can easy do double shuffle, transformer, slip and skip… all those tricks easy on jogwheels.
    It is not really that different, once you get used to it.
