Can I use the Panama P\12+ as a daily driver?

Many campervans, especially those built on VW Transporter or similar bases, are designed for dual use. The Panama P\12+'s compact dimensions make it suitable for everyday driving, parking, and city navigation while still offering weekend getaway capability.

Will the Panama P\12+ fit in a standard parking space?

Most campervans are designed to fit standard UK parking spaces (4.8m x 2.4m). Check the specific dimensions - length under 5m and width under 2m typically allows normal parking. Height may restrict multi-storey car parks.

Does the Panama P\12+ have a pop-top roof?

Pop-top roofs are common in campervans to add headroom and sleeping space. Check the specific listing for roof type. Pop-tops typically add 2 berths and improve standing height when stationary.

What's the fuel economy of the Panama P\12+?

Campervan fuel economy varies by engine and driving style. Expect 25-35 MPG for most diesel campervans. The Panama P\12+'s specific consumption depends on the base vehicle and engine variant.

About the Panama P\12+

The Panama P12+ represents the evolution of the compact campervan, built on the versatile Ford Transit Custom chassis. As the extended 'plus' variant of the standard P12, this model offers additional interior length that translates directly into enhanced storage capacity and a more breathable living area. Designed for adventurous families and couples who refuse to compromise on mobility, the P12+ balances the driveability of a daily vehicle with the robust utility of a fully-equipped motorhome, featuring a pop-top roof that provides ample standing room and an additional sleeping mezzanine.

Inside, the P12+ showcases intelligent European design with a modular seating system and a sleek side-kitchen ensemble. The extra floor space allows for a more generous wardrobe and additional locker storage, making it an ideal choice for longer excursions across the UK or the continent. Every inch is optimized for functionality, from the swivel captain's chairs to the refined LED lighting scheme that creates a warm, inviting ambiance after a day of exploration.

Practical ownership tips

Licence requirements

At 3,200kg GVW, the Panama P\12+ can be driven on a standard Category B car licence. Verify the plated weight matches the listing before you commit.

Payload capacity

The Panama P\12+ has approximately 515kg of user payload for passengers, water, gas, and personal gear. Check the actual plated weight against the unladen weight for the specific vehicle you are viewing.

Size and practicality

At 5.34m long, the Panama P\12+ may not fit standard parking bays. Check both length and height restrictions for multi-storey car parks, barriers, and low bridges on your regular routes.

Before you buy

Request a habitation check for any used unit. Check the base vehicle service history, MOT record, and whether the V5C matches the seller. For conversions, confirm the vehicle is correctly registered with DVLA.
