Cali replacement

[John Slater]

On our second Transporter (first Cali) since 2009. One of the reasons for the purchase was their ease of use as a day to day vehicle as well as camping adventures.
Given that it's very possible I'll be doing much more homeworking now and less commuting, it's possible that we could change for something slightly bigger.
Have really appreciated the 4Motion on the Cali so would look for 4WD on anything we moved to.
So wondering what others have moved to or considered before a Cali purchase and why they went for that option?

Westfalia VW t6 club joker 4motion hightop had it two years after owning calis in the past.
Drives like a cali (apart from cross winds), does the camping/living in a vanlife amazing.
Downside not many about and take a year for new one! Still have 5mths for next one to turn up.

Pretty sure we looked at a Joker at the SECC show when changing the T5. I can't remember too much about them tbh, at the time we were considering the 5.5m Fiat vans so possibly didn't really scrutinize them. Will have a look on-line again.

Looks like LWB?

Yep long wheel base just under 5.4m and 2.8m high. Boot space is very small but loads of cupboards and storage under rear seats.
Hotwater, loo and shower main bed is in roof pulls out over two metres long too.
