Campervan: Compact and flexible

The interior of the campervan is equipped with sleeping spots and cooking equipment for living purposes. Usually there are 2 sleeping spots, for models with elevating roof there are 2 additional sleeping spots. This motor vehicle is the smallest and most compact type of mobile homes. With a height of up to 2 meters it can often be parked in underground garages or on regular parking lots.

The star and the most popular models

Volkswagen is the most successful campervan manufacturer and is at the forefront of with its VW California. Within the last decades other manufacturers have followed. Therefore, other popular models such as the Mercedes Marco Polo, Ford Nugget or the Pössl Vanster have been produced.

Self built campervans

The container van is considered a subcategory of campervans and are considered as a true trendsetter. The base vehicle is a delivery van or pickup van, which has been converted into a mobile home together with its chassis, engine and body. It is larger and longer than a campervan and often contains a full-sized bathroom. Popular models are the Fiat Ducato, the Citroën Jumper, the Peugeot Boxter, the Mercedes Sprinter or, more recently, the VW Crafter.

Likewise, vans such as the Renault Traffic, Opel Vivaro, Ford Transit or the Mercedes-Benz Vito have proven themselves in recent years as suitable base vehicles for expansion.

The history of the campervan

The campervan is considered the archetype of the caravan and has developed into a cult vehicle since the 50s with its famous representative, the VW Bulli. From 1967 onwards, especially the VW T2 and VW T3 stood for adventure and independence and served sportsmen, hippies or families for long journeys over generations. The VW bus even experienced several film appearances like in Mythbusters or Little Miss Sunshine. These models were designed as small buses, container vans or platform trucks.

Meanwhile, the competition grew, including the Caravano from Hymer, and from the 1980s onwards, more and more container vans were developed for residential purposes. These offered more driving comfort and were more economical in consumption than motorhomes. In the meantime, modern campervans usually have a fixed high roof or a pop-up roof. This makes it possible to stand in the vehicle or to add two more sleeping spots.
