Hyundai Santa Fe 2017
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.Â

Hyundai Santa Fe 2017: Problems with diesel transmission
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.

What car is big enough to sleep in the back of?
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.Â
Most of these have a flat boot floor with the seats folded, and likely have ample body length for sleeping.Â
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.Â
Don't be afraid to try them out for size at the dealers either. You'd certainly test out a mattress before buying right?!

Best family SUV that can tow?
All of the vehicles are worthy choices, but you need to be careful about the towing ratings of them. The Kia Sorento, which would be my choice, is rated at 2000kg, which is right on your towing requirement. Others, such as the 2WD Everest, are rated to tow much more. Others, like the Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota Prado, are full-on 4WDs, and would seem beyond your needs.
