Hi all. I'd like to replace my current car with a micro camper. This will be my only vehicle, it will be my daily commute (50 miles) so it will have to be no bigger than small van/mpv size, economical and reliable. If every mechanic I've ever known didn't tell me never to buy a used French car, the Peugeot Partner or similar would be perfect. My dad also had a used/nearly new 307 that he spent literally over a thousand a year to keep on the road. So I think French and also Italian vehicles are probably off limits. But never say never.
I was thinking Vauxhall Zafira, but would that have enough headroom for me (6ft) to sit upright on a sofa bed? It will be used for no more than the odd night away, and regular trips for my hobby(rc racing) so would still look like a regular car on the outside.
I'd like a vehicle with a single rear door that opens upwards, and probably a diesel, but the Zafira 1.6 is pretty economical. I'd like to know what else is out there and is good for my needs. Any tips?
