versatile micro camper options
I'm looking a buy a vehicle that can be used like a normal car and as a micro camper. I'm hoping for something that I can fold the rear seats down, put a sleeping bag/mat down and use on weekend trips. I want to have the option of doing a full van conversion in the future. My budget has an upper limit of around £15,000.
I'd prefer a petrol engine but I don't want a wet belt. I'd priorities engine reliability over most other factors.
I think I'd be looking at a Berlingo if there wasn't so many warnings about the engines that they come with. It sounds like 1.5 BlueHDi doesn't have the best reputation.
I think a VW Caddy would also with the description, but seems like they are often outwith my budget.
It looks like Renault Kangoo could fit the description also.
A Toyota Sienta could also with the description but I think I read they were not available on the European market, so parts would be less available if broken.
I'd be interested to hear any other options I'v not considered, thanks.
