Family holidays in small vans, is it feasible without a Porta Potti®?

Motor campervan tourism is a growing and promising trend. Many families chose it to contact with nature, for freedom, and for experiences. Some families look for a sense of adventure and might be interested in travelling with small vans. This choice could, however, be complicated. The aim of this paper is to explore whether going on a holiday with a small van, in our case a VW California, is feasible for a family and the factors that might influence the decision of buying a small van despite the lack of comfort. Findings contribute to limited literature about campervans and give interesting insights for producers, tourism companies that want to target families.
