Hi there,
I've just discovered a vehicle that's almost ideal—basically a 4x4 with a cab and flatbed of interesting dimensions, dual rear wheels, rear-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, good ground clearance, lots of options, and apparently it's as comfortable as a car when loaded with a camper unit. I think the service network for roadside assistance is international.
It's the Nissan Cabstar.
The issue is that the current model will be updated for a new version available in about 6 months.
I hope this new one will have roughly the same essential features as the current model, of course less fuel-hungry and compliant with the new pollution laws...
Check out the websites that talk about it, and this one in particular.

Its price seems interesting to me compared to other competing models...
Plus, an Austrian company transforms it into a real 4x4.
All this information about the 4x4 option and the rest can be provided by the Nissan Truck network.
As for the camper unit, I'm planning to build it myself for eating, sleeping, and traveling with 5 people within a year.
I've already built one on a Peugeot 504 twenty years ago.
The camper unit, roughly 3.8 meters long, without a pop-up roof, will include a closed bathroom with toilet, shower, and sink, a 190x140 cm bed available all the time, 2 seats for eating and traveling that can convert into a 190x120 cm bed, a kitchen, a folding hammock bed 60x185 cm, and plenty of storage spaces). I hope to have my plans ready in 6 months, when the new vehicle arrives...

You'll need a 4x4 during the rainy season, otherwise you're guaranteed to lose your vehicle crossing those rivers. The tracks are really muddy, and a winch is absolutely essential in my opinion to get yourself out of a tight spot;
