Whatever size vehicle you buy –
Without toilet facilities – mainly campsites (if you can find them open out of season) and some camps charge eye watering prices.
With toilet facilities - the World is literally you oyster – in France and many other countries you can use designated Motorhome stopping places overnight at minimal, and even free, prices all year round - Wild camping is also an option at home and abroad.
Enjoy whatever you bu

Hi
We've just got a VW T5 SWB. It has to be converted into a camper but it WILL have a porta potti under a seat. It's the one thing I insist on so I won't have to wander to the loo's in the middle of the night!
We got a short wheel base as it'll be our everyday vehicle so it's easier to fit into car park bay's and not much longer than our Kia Sorento which we'll sell once the T5's converted.
It'll open up a lot more sites to us and make it easier when we hopefully go to Skye and Mull in the summer. And all of sites we use and intend to use will have a wash block and toilets. Although I plan to be brave for a night and stay at a site overlooking a loch for a night with no facilities (although I think there may still be a toilet which is a short walk away). We'll just have to adjust to the reduction in space as we also have a Bailey Pegasus which is HUGE in comparison!

We've just bought a leisuredrive vivante SWB. Our wish list was very similar. Ours is a high top so not ideal for you but you can get the same layout as an elevating roof. Check out denby Buckingham conversion and the danbury royale too. Hillside, bodans and Devon all also do something similar.
All have a cassette toilet in the back corner opposite the kitchen, so no bathroom but everything you need and a privacy screen before the lounge/bed area at the front.

Can you make your garage bigger? I put a new taller roof on ours and our van is a 2.7m high Peugeot boxer narrow coach built. It also fits in supermarket car parks width wise but needs 1.5 bays in length. VWs are too small and overpriced (in my opinion)

I have a Romahome R30 with a very nice loo / shower built in a moulded GRP shell, so completely waterproof. Overall the van is only 5 mtrs. long so it fits neatly into most car parking spaces.
It also has the benefit of 4 proper belted seats so will act as a big car. Pretty economical too at 35+ mpg.
Only problem is that they are very rare and seemingly much sought after. I've only caught a glimpse of another one.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
