Well, I think you were brave to try it
Personally, although I love my Carawagon(s), I'm not convinced they are for everyone.
Indeed, travelling solo I think they are great; room to do everything you need to and nobody gets in anyone's way.
Travelling with a group of vehicles, as I tend to do most of the time, we tend not to 'live' in the vehicle - awning poles out, tarp thrown over, tables, chairs and firepit out and the vehicle is only used for sleeping.
Travelling as a couple gets a little more difficult, unless you use a rear awning as there's not really a lot of room inside, and that's where you want to be when it's cold outside - nice and cosy inside with the Eberspacher/Propex going.
Travelling as a family? I really wouldn't do it. I remember my parents having a VW Dormobile when I was a kid - my sister and me in the bunks and parents in the bed. We spent weeks away every holiday, sometimes with the awning to accomodate my grandparents and auntie as well!
It seemed to be accepted back then, but folk don't seem to want to camp like sardines these days - look at the size of modern 2 berth caravans! They are bigger than the 5 berth we had back in the 70s!
Three of us, all adults, went to Morocco in Patrick's Carawagon (Station Wagon version), but although the bunk is adult sized, most nights Patrick spent in a hammock slung between vehicles or trees or Susan & I put up a ridge tent rather than all sleeping in the vehicle.
As I say, you were brave to try it as a family, and I do know couples and families who regularly go on Continental trips in their LR Campers (both Dormobiles as it happens), but to me, a camper is perfect for one and ok for two
Oh, and what happened to the roof?
Cheers,
Robin.
