What are the plusses and minuses of each?
I absolutely adored my Daihatsu Hijet conversion up until Monday when this happened:

I'm now back on the market looking to replace it, and may as well do a bit of upgrading while I'm there.
These are the things I loved about my conversion:
- Good for stealth camping in the city centre or outside gigs.
- Always a surprise - people don't expect the interior so it has that "cool" factor.
- Amazing little turning circle and the best vehicle I've ever had for parking (I include my Smart car in that comparison).
- Pop top means I can always duck under any barrier and still have headroom when camping.
- I have an awning that fits neatly over the back door.
- With so many large access doors, it was also handy for picking up some furniture.
Things that I disliked:
- My conversion had two single bunks but I'd really prefer a double.
- I also didn't have any rear seatbelts - again this would be better.
- You have to be incredibly tidy to keep your stuff in order!
So I've seen a couple of Romahomes pased on the Daihatsu Hijet pickup, and they look very comfortable with much more space and the option to remount on a new pickup if the old one packs it in mechanically. They also seem to be available for less money. However I also think they're pretty ugly and 'uncool'.
Would I be making a mistake to do the switch?
