We did a lot of interesting day-trips that we probably wouldn't have without a place to rest, change clothes, make a little food, and use the toilet (a tiny portable but still better than the woods). I grew up with a Coachmen conversion van as my mom's daily driver, it was absolutely amazing for a busy kid's life. Still, unless the current demand for RVs spurs additional innovation, we're likely going to go with a Promaster high-top conversion floorplan like the Jayco Swift or Thor 20L, but not until maybe 2023, hoping the current freakout bubble chills out. We've rented a high-top Promaster several times, and in Los Angeles at least it does not fit in a "regular" parking space because those usually have a couple inches shaved off here, and it feels like kind of a beast trying to navigate city/residential streets. Having a less-intimidating van we could use for daytrips would be amazing, though. I'd love a pop-top but I'm also pretty set on a king-sized bed, which seems to be not a combo anybody is building and I am not in the mood to get it done aftermarket. (If I knew what to sacrifice to get VW to bring the California line to the US, I would do it on the spot.) It's just really hard to get a ready-built van with a pop-top and a toilet in the US, and I think Winnebago is the only big-name converter making them. I've been shopping in about the same feature range as you, and The Solis is probably my 2nd favorite - but it would be my #1 if I had more than two people, especially if one or more of them were not full-grown and would definitely be comfortable sleeping in the pop-top.
