I looking for a bus/campervan. Not for full-time living but as small adventure bus for weekend or week-long trips and to also use as daily driver.

I am usually by myself or with 1 other person and occasionally with groups of up to 9 people (which might be a stretch, but just throwing out some numbers).

I am completely new to ownining a car and campervanning in general so am looking for people with experience with this type of model for spare time use and advice on what to look out for.

I've had my eye on the VW id. Buzz because it's electric and has a nice size for being mobile but large enough to to fit many people or lots of gear or a bed + living basics.

I am relatively tall (190cm) so am worried about not being able to stand up in it or having to permanently remove some seats to install a bed lengthwise.

I am open to looking at other models but It's important for me, that it is an electric car for the lower environmental impact and maintainence cost.

Depends on what your budget and diy ability is. You might consider getting one of the GM Brightdrop vans, which are no longer being manufactured and are therefore way cheaper than they were. 275+ miles of range and full standing room. There are companies who convert them if your budget allows that. We should receive ours in August.
