Choosing a Campervan
Panel van conversions that stay under six metres and still work for two people.
The compact panel van is the most versatile thing you can own: it fits a standard parking bay, it drives like a van and it sleeps two comfortably if the layout is honest.
The trade-off is storage and washroom space. Decide early whether you need a fixed toilet — it shapes every other decision.
Long-wheelbase, high-roof vans give you standing height and a rear garage. Standard roofs need a pop-top to be liveable.
Before you commit
- Standing height changes daily life more than bed size
- Rear garage vs fixed bed: you rarely get both under six metres
- Check the base vehicle service history separately from the conversion
- Insulation quality is invisible and decides winter comfort
