For years, Hymer has been selling what stands as arguably the most innovative camper van in all the world. This year, its highly self-sufficient Crossover series draws closer than ever before to that Venture S camper van, mirroring it outside and in.

Volkswagen often surprises with its annual Caravan Salon debuts, and this year it's revealing multiple world-first concepts that explore the future of van life. It starts off with a California Beach concept that packs a cabin full of inflatables.

Westfalia is riding a wave of hyper creativity, hitting this year's Caravan Salon with not one but two innovative camper vans with next-generation layouts. The Nansen 600L squeezes a pair of double bunk beds and a dry bathroom into a sub-6-m Ducato.
