Fortunate to have a quandary, go for something like a Freedom caravan or higher quality eriba puck that I can tow behind my vintage car OR
Invest in the Morris J2 parillion camper van, currently for sale but over priced imo at the moment.

if you buy a classic caravan you can show both car and van together easy for a cuppa and the caravan can be upgraded in a sympathetic manor to give you all the comfort of home
on the note you posted both have there merits however the camper may be a tad slow for modern conditions if travelling far and the home comforts of a newer caravan are appealing and you still have the car for getting around

The down side of a camper van is if you need to nip out for a pint of milk you have to pack things away where as with a caravan you leave it there and drive
BUT
Having both for different occasions would be nice
