There are various versions of Mercedes Citan:
Panel Van (2 seats) – they are basically the same (comfort, consumption etc), but differ in the length:
- L3 (this listing) – boot length 214cm, height 126cm
- L2 (short) – boot length 175cm, height 126cm
Tourer (5 seats) – same as L2
According to Wikipedia, there’s a compact version too (total length 3.937mm), which would be very unsuitable for car camping – too short!
