"Over the 10 years we've been here we've traveled extensively around the country in various ways, but our pick is campervanning," Leanne said in a statement.

Quirky Campers claims it's a “boutique hotel room on wheels.”
Ivan is self-contained, which means it can fully function without outside sources, such as an external water tank, according to Motorhome Republic.
