I've had a 85 Vanagon Camper basically since 1990 (it's been in my family at
least)and it has been used periodically as a daily driver.  However, I don't
think it is appropriate as such.  It's very large and gets poor mileage.
For neighborhood streets and city parking it's just not a very good choice.
As a vehicle for trips, hauling things, and camping, though, it's fantastic.
Nothing comes close to it in terms of interior space, at least nothing short
of an RV.
