Space or drivability: the honest difference between a campervan and a trendy van conversion

The article compares two types of recreational vehicles: a campervan (converted panel van) and a traditional motorhome with a body. Campervans, such as the Fiat Ducato or Volkswagen Crafter, retain original dimensions (width about 2 m, length about 6 m), offering better handling, lower fuel consumption, and usability as a daily car. However, interior space is cramped, with transverse beds shorter than 2 m, poor insulation, and rapid temperature changes. Motorhomes with semi-integral or fully integral construction are at least 30 cm wider, providing spacious living areas, full-length beds, separate showers, and stable indoor climate due to thick sandwich panels and double floors for frost-proof tanks. Downsides include higher purchase price, fuel costs, parking difficulties, and need for winter storage.
