It depends on your budget, that might help you get more directed replys. Have a look at the autosleeper range of van conversions. For your size medium wheelbase would suffice and double as a Car. Would fit in car parks etc. Vw vans are popular too, and compact. Maybe consider the pop top vans? If you have a list of what’s important and a budget, you’ll get lots more help
Think about where yo7 Park it at home too. Do you have a drive?

At your budget something that will be 20 years old is your limit look at the height as well as a lot of vans will be to high to get into carparks with barriers

You might have trouble finding one around £4k, but have a look at the Romahome C15.

Our VW van would be way out of your price range, however I can highly recommend it as a main vehicle, we use ours all the time. It fits into a car parking space, and at 2.0 m high before the roof pops up goes under most car park barriers. We have no toilet in our van, but if you are on your own, you may want to have one.

Have a look on EBay for Mazda Bongo they’re great little vans, we started off 12 years ago with one and gradually updated to brand new campervan, the only downsize was 22 mpg with some as 4 wheel drive.

I think a lot depends on how many miles you will do using it as a car.
The camper will be much more expensive to buy than a car but will need replacing just as soon if you do a high mileage. With a low mileage it will last a long time just like a car will.

That's only 4000ish a year- nothing really. The only thing is that if it's a diesel, I'd suggest one without a Particulate Filter. These can clog up (expensively) if you only do short runs. That's why we have a petrol car.
