Something cheap but classy to camp in

So having looked at the usual VW Transporters and come away thinking, yep love it but surely I can have similar experiences spending considerably less. Given that im slowing down at work and dont want to have to finance anything. Im thinking of doing it a lot more economically. Budget for the vehicle is about 10k and it will be carrying two peeps and two small dogs. Planning to use it for lots of small days out. But the odd longer trip too. Im also thinking of the base vehicle having some luxury. Rather than a panel van, for example a Merc Viano. Or maybe a luxury minivan imported from Japan, Or a VW Caddy. I should mention a tailgate is a must rather than barn doors for carrying bikes on a cycle rack. And lastly do I really need a pop up top.

Thanks in advance folks.

Pretty sure we will be going with the Elgrand, either E51 or E52
