The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe range of configurations is currently priced from $13,999.
Our most recent review of the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: This no-nonsense SUV was adept at handling birthday duties in true family-hauler fashion. Helped in no short measure by the addition of the powerful and fuel-efficient V6 engine, which made light work of everything we threw at it.

This is what Dan Pugh liked most about this particular version of the Hyundai Santa Fe: Smooth and powerful V6, Hard-wearing cabin, Easy to manoeuvre
The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The diesel is rated to tow up to 2.5-tonne so it should handle your camper with ease. There are a few reports of transmission/transfer case failures, as your mechanic has told you, but it’s not widespread, and with a warranty that lasts for five years with unlimited kilometres you should be well covered if something does go wrong.

It's hard to give you a definite recommendation, as most cargo measurements are in litres rather than floor length, but I reckon most mid-size wagons and large SUVs would do the job for you.
Most of these have a flat boot floor with the seats folded, and likely have ample body length for sleeping.
So Mazda6, Skoda Superb or Ford Mondeo wagons are worth a look, plus large SUVs like the Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.
Don't be afraid to try them out for size at the dealers either. You'd certainly test out a mattress before buying right?!

Seems it will be possible. We put your question to Hyundai and were told "a hardware upgrade is in the works and should be available in the next month or so".
