You can also get a Ford Van with a poptop conversion and they are large enuff to sleep in w/o that.
For a still larger vehicle, the MB based newer Dodge vans are not bad at all.
What exactly are you planning to do with this vehicle?

I'm not even interested in pop-top VWs, just regular vans w/ the factory layout I described above. (Fold-down seat/bed, booth seating in the middle). Pop-tops are nice when parked but suck even worse on the road with all that extra weight and wind resistance 6+ feet off the ground. Regular vanagons have the aerodynamics of a sail.
I'm leaning completely towards a Eurovan in the future, something like this:
