I'm looking for a long wheel base campervan as a day-van, for short breaks, and to visit elderly relatives most of the year. The van needs to have at least 4 belted seats, some sort of toilet and sleep three adults, all over 5' 8".
We currently own a short wheelbase vw T5 conversion, with a wedge shaped canvas sided pop-top bed arrangement.
We always camp with our adult daughter (long term mental health problems). We manage, but I'd love more room, and an internal loo.
Our driveway could cope with a long wheel base campervan, but not a mammoth motorhome.
As my daughter needs to rest during the day, having the separate pop-top bed in the VW gave her some privacy, however this leaves me cooking on my knees, or moving around in a permanent crouch in the main cab.
We do have an awning, but as we often use our van three seasons, and at times have my son sleeping there it doesn't really solve the problem (also we've never really mastered the art of actually driving away from the thing and reattaching without stress so prefer the option of doing without it for shorter stays)
I'm struggling to find a model which combines the features we need. All seem to be aimed at couples or families with small children.
Some of the back lounge models nearly work, but there seems no way to close off that bed for day-time sleep. I'd hesitate to screw curtain track into the ceiling in case it affected the resale value (in case we made a mistake with our choice)
We've also considered the shorter motorhome models with overcab beds, but it is also a struggle to find those with adequate headroom, as my daughter would be happier if she could prop herself up and read at times.
I realise this is a big ask, as we need to squeeze a lot into what would still be a small space, but I feel it could be done if I could find the right model. Any help appreciated.
