For those who have had a van and a truck camper
Currently have an amazing paid off seats/sleeps 2 Sprinter 144 that I built out in 2020 that has been great. Bought it new, 4x4, has 61k miles and has been largely great to us. We do not live full time in it. Perfectly dialed for our needs though. But we’re now expecting our first kid and don’t have a third legitimate seat for them. Looking at our options we would likely have to swap the bed from N/S to E/W and I’m 6’3 so we would have to install flares, rebuild the entire layout, and then pay the absurd money an actual additional seat costs. Honestly quite a bit of cash involved in making it all work out.
Other option is sell it and get a truck camper later when the kid is ready to camp with us. This also solves the “not using the van for a while with a brand new kid” issue. I’ve been tallying up the pros and cons of both and am completely split. Would love to get some opinions from folks that have had both. My biggest worry is selling and then regretting getting rid of the van but with how specifically purpose built it is right now, there would be a lot of work and money spent to get it where it would need to be, also even with that it would be tight.
