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.

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.

For decades, the Mitsubishi Delica has proven itself a rugged, reliable base van for mini-camper vans and pint-sized adventure vans. And now it's joined by an even smaller Delica camper van, the purely kei-size Delica Mini Pop micro-camper

Looking at the Delica D:5 refresh Mitsubishi previewed a couple months ago, we wouldn't have pegged it as "the strongest ever." But that's how Mitsubishi bills it now. The tiny van and camping darling gains extra performance to match a revised look.

We've seen in-vehicle camping modules of all sizes, and a new one from Renault might just be the sleekest of all. It transforms the company's Escapade from a simple sleeper van to a full camper van that still works as an everyday 7-seat MPV.
