The Ford Transit Custom has been available with a six-speed automatic since 2017 and is one of the best all-rounders with a maximum payload of 1.4 tonnes. It’s good to drive too, with affordable fuel costs and a broad range of carrying capacities: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/ford/transit-cus.../
The Citroen Dispatch also has an automatic option and will carry a maximum payload of 1.5 tonnes and move up to three Euro pallets in one go: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/citroen/dispatch.../
If you have more money to spend then you could also add the Volkswagen T6 Transporter to your list, with its optional seven-speed DSG ‘box: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/volkswagen/trans.../

I'm looking for a panel van to convert into a camper. It needs to be auto so I can share the driving with my wife and it has to be under 5.3m to be able to fit onto our drive fully. We have £5000 to spend.
I'd like a smallish automatic campervan. What would recommend? I'd prefer it to be quiet over performance.

More refined and better to drive than many of its rivals, impressive interior quality, powered by excellent range of diesel engines.
Even more refined and car-like to drive, most economical 11PS 2.0 TDI is also the best, large range of body configurations, lots of standard equipment.
