When customers start looking at our Trouvaille Medium Wheelbase campervan, it is often because they want that next step up in space and comfort while still keeping things practical to drive and live with.
Many reach this point after owning a Short Wheelbase, a VW Long Wheelbase or another brand, and realise they would like more usable internal space without moving into something oversized.
Below, we share the real reasons our customers choose the Trouvaille Medium Wheelbase campervan, based on what they tell us after living with it day to day.

Proper standing height that changes everything
For customers like Chris and Michelle, moving from a Pop Top SWB into a High Roof MWB completely changed how they use their van.
Chris is 6ft 3 and can stand up comfortably inside. That alone makes daily life easier: no bending over all the time really makes a difference!
Being able to walk in, turn the seats around and relax straight away removes the small frustrations that can build up over longer trips.
They also appreciate how warm and quiet the High Roof feels. There is no need to set anything up when you arrive on site. You simply park, settle in and start enjoying the space.
For many of our upgrader customers buying what they see as their forever ‘van, that ease of use is one of the biggest deciding factors.
Heating and hot water that work all year round
Another reason customers choose our Medium Wheelbase campervan is the diesel heating and instant hot water system upgrade. In fact, two of our happy campers, Chris and Judith, highlighted the diesel heating and instant hot water as a favourite feature!
When you turn the tap, you get proper hot water drawn from the tank as you need it. The large sink comfortably fits a washing up bowl, so cleaning up feels familiar and practical rather than cramped and awkward.
The pull-out shower tap offers different spray settings, and the heating system keeps the ‘van toasty even in colder months. This means the Medium Wheelbase campervan is not limited to summer use: it's designed to be used across the seasons.
Storage that makes daily life easier
If there’s one thing nearly every MWB owner mentions, it’s storage! Many customers are surprised at just how much this Medium Wheelbase campervan can hold without feeling cluttered.
There's over-cab storage, deep kitchen cupboards, solid drawers, a proper wardrobe, and low-level cupboards ideal for shoes and everyday essentials.
There is also storage within the toilet area and practical drop-in compartments for frequently used items.
At the rear, the 270-degree doors open fully, revealing a garage space that comfortably accommodates chairs, tables, steps and other camping equipment.
The layout has been designed so that everything has a place. That thoughtful approach to design reflects our focus on innovation and quality, and it is often the small details that customers appreciate most.
A generous interior within a sensible footprint
Some customers come to us after owning a Long Wheelbase van and are surprised by how much interior space the Trouvaille Medium Wheelbase campervan offers.
At around 5.4 metres, it’s very similar in external length to a long wheelbase VW, but the internal layout feels wider, taller and more usable.
The way the space is designed makes a noticeable difference. Customers often comment that it feels far larger inside than they expected.
At the same time, it remains manageable to drive and practical for everyday use. That balance is a key reason why so many people choose the Medium Wheelbase campervan as the sweet spot within our range.
Flexible sleeping for real life
Sleeping flexibility is another important reason customers choose this layout.
The Medium Wheelbase campervan can be configured as two single beds or a double downstairs, and the Pop Top version provides an additional generous double bed above with the option of Froli springs for added comfort.
This means the ‘van can adapt to different trips, whether that involves travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or with the grandchildren.
Some customers also choose to add a Cabbunk across the front seats for extra sleeping space. The layout is designed to adapt to real life rather than restrict how you use it.
More than just a holiday ‘van
For many owners, the Medium Wheelbase campervan becomes more than a weekend vehicle. Some use it as a mobile office. Leah uses hers as an artist's studio!
With sliding seats, individual tables and a well-designed kitchen area, it becomes somewhere you genuinely enjoy spending time.
That blend of practicality and comfort is part of what sets the Trouvaille apart. It reflects our wider brand promise of continuous care long after you drive away. We design our ‘vans to work beautifully in real life, not just look good in photographs.
Why so many customers upgrade to the Medium Wheel Base
Most customers who choose the Medium Wheelbase campervan are making a considered decision to upgrade. They want additional space, improved comfort and year-round usability, but they don't want to move into something unnecessarily large.
The Trouvaille Medium Wheelbase campervan offers that balance. It feels roomy without being too big, and that is why so many customers say they wish they had made the move sooner.
