I like the practicality of flatbeds and campers with extra storage, but again "cultural" differences are hard to bypass.
In US flatbeds are unpopular as they don't look good at grocery or liquor story :D
I had custom, short bed F250 with famous 7.3l and it took me a year to find a buyer for 1/2 of blue book value.
Also fuel is relatively cheap in US and most owners don't mind to burn more of it to avoid hassle with pop-up.
Still comparing to Europe where VW Wanagon is a dream for may - this is very nice selection.
Do not know if a Vanagon is a " Dream", more a Campervan, they are everywhere . 50% of European RV's are Motorhomes of some description
These are dreams
