here in the states that would be a total loss.. ive parted vans out with that
kind of damage..
 windshield is out, indicating the windshield surround is tweaked..  its
probably kinked the metal at the top of the A pillar and roof as well.  and
because the door took some of the hit, there may be damage to the B pillar as well
where the impact was transmitted thru the door.  the only real way to repair
that is cut the front clip off of a good parts van, and weld it onto yours..
big job..   would pass on that camper unless you get it REAL cheap..
