Campervan

An "extreme" hard-sided 4x4 camper for under £30K? That's what Dacia launched a few years ago in adding a "Sleep Pack" to its Duster utility vehicle. Now it expands its in-vehicle camping series out to new (affordable) vehicles and components.

Airstream has split its Atlas B+ motorhome series into a small lineup. The new Atlas 25RT is designed to live as comfortably as possible for two adventurous road travelers, featuring a reorganized floor plan with eat-in kitchen and full dry bath.

The first camper kit developed specifically for Kia's PV5 van hit the market a couple weeks ago, and now we have the world's first pop-up PV5 production camper. Sussex's pop-top PV5 promises to open up new heights of Kia electric base camping.

Mercedes announced it's bringing production of its Marco Polo camper van in-house, cutting out Westfalia. But Westfalia actually builds a better Mercedes small camper. The Jules Verne has a multi-room layout with the bathroom the Marco Polo lacks.

Volkswagen is giving UK conversion companies a shortcut for creating new campers. Its Multivan Camper comes with a pop-up roof, an available plug-in hybrid, a cockpit, a few other basics and a whole lot of nothing else.

Mercedes has been working with Westfalia on its Marco Polo mini-camper van since the 1980s. But now it's leaving Westfalia behind and pulling Marco Polo production entirely in-house. The new 2026 Marco Polo is truly the Mercedes of RV life.

Kia has introduced an officially branded camper package for the tiny PV5 electric van. Interestingly, the flat-pack IKEA-like assemble-yourself mini-camper kit was developed in the USA, which has not yet been confirmed as a PV5 market.

VW knows what it takes to make a great van, whether we're talking passenger or goods haulers. Its latest multipurpose van is a split-personality ID. Buzz that seats a family of five while carrying all means of cargo in a discrete compartment.

While Ford's high-rising, hard-sided "winterproof" Nugget High Roof camper van is available to order, it's not available with AWD. Nugget Schmiede fills the gap with a sleek, window-lined high roof planted on a Nugget with all-wheel drive.

The Ford Transit Custom isn't the only van to gain an inflatable pop-up roof design – the VW T7 gets one, too. Rhön Camp presents the first VW camper van with Freescape inflatable roof, pairing the air tent with a California-style interior.

In announcing the new 40 Years of Nugget limited edition camper van, Ford released exactly one exterior and one interior photo. Unacceptable. We made sure to stop by and grab more pictures of the world's latest Nugget camper van at its CMT debut.

The Nissan Interstar van is not a pretty machine. So to build an Interstar camper van that looks like a place we'd want to live is quite a feat. Nissan conversion partner Eiffeland has done just that, carving out a warm, rustic-modern roaming lodge.
