Campervan

Forget Westfalia or Winnebago. Some of this year's most striking, innovative camper vans came not from dedicated RV manufacturers or small conversion garages but from much bigger household names: the automakers themselves.

Believe it or not, the Winnebago Revel camper van was less than $135K when it debuted in 2017. Now, it's $254K. Winnebago reverses course and rolls Revel pricing back a bit with the new/old 2025 Revel Sport, a lighter version of the adventure camper.

The new Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo Horizon debuts as the sleekest member of the Marco Polo camper van family. It's classy enough to feel comfortable pulling up to valet parking but ready to transform into a cozy lodge at a moment's notice.

Nissan's MyRoom light camper concept moved to full-on production earlier this year and has now spawned a smaller version, the NV200 MyRoom. The new camper vanette rolls the homey tranquility of the original MyRoom into a tiny mini-camping package.

Campervan Co has been building efficient campers for years, but it's outdone itself with its latest. Designed for both camping and daily driving, the new Eco Escape puts a 5-seat/4-sleeper interior in a hybrid Toyota Estima MPV with electrified AWD.

The all-new Dacia Duster 4x4 is available with a full lineup of "InNature" accessories that build it up into a tiny, feisty expedition machine more capable and less costly than the typical factory camper van.

Orion Motors takes the largest Ford Transit cargo van out there and turns it into a utility camper so versatile, you can use it every day. The 365 camper has five seats, five sleeping berths, and plenty of space for kayaks, bicycles or motorcycles.

The Volkswagen Microbus is finally making a return to the US market, and with it comes the VW camper bus. We had the chance to test the world's first ID. Buzz camper van ahead of its US launch, enjoying a taste of the dawning era of VW van life.

Volkswagen has worked quite hard to optimize the all-new California eHybrid 4Motion for smart, affordable, carefree road trips. Not only does the new camper pack standard AWD, it boasts a virtually silent, zero-emissions electric range over 80 km.

Who would've thought less than two weeks after our late look at the Toyota Kayoibako mini-camper concept, Kia would release an adorable tiny camper of its own? It's the PV5 WKNDR, and it's even cuter than the Kayoibako, plus more modular to boot.

Trakka has long been building some of Australia's most rugged, agile adventure campers. Now it's launching a van that takes off-grid living to new heights with a 48-V electrical system and luxuries like a washing machine and wood-fire BBQ grill.

Is there any vehicle more adorable than a sub-4-m Japanese micro-camper van? Maybe a next-gen micro-camper built into a versatile van platform that also works as a commercial goods-hauler and mobile pop-up shop? That's the Toyota Kayoibako.
