mini-campervan

What's cooler than an affordable, nimble, efficient mini-campervan? How about a mini-campervan that's also a rugged 4x4 built to travel virtually anywhere? That's the story of the Mitsubishi D:5 Terrain from all-new Scottish brand Campervan Co.

Lately we've seen more and more companies shrinking camper vans down into mini-campervans. Germany's Flexcamper takes it a step further, making single-person mini-campers out of some of the smallest multipurpose vehicles out there.

Designed for some of the biggest adventures of your life, the Nest Cuckoo is also one of the smallest camper vans you're likely to journey out in. But you won't want for anything in this Slovenian rental camper, thanks to its combination of long bed, tailgate kitchen and seating for four.

Ursa Minor Vehicles brings its experience with pop-up roofs to the mini-campervan space. Its pop-top Ford Transit Connect weekends as a cruisy two-sleeper for roaming cities, mountains, and everywhere in between. Lock the pop-top, and it turns into an everyday driver with up to seven seats.

Providing future van lifers with a simple, affordable way to start traveling, Cascade Campers has developed an impressive conversion for the Ram Promaster City. Its $7K mini-camper conversion creates a living space for two with double bed, kitchen and solar-backed off-grid electrical system.

You don't need to spend six or seven figures to enjoy a comfy motorhome meticulously furnished for quick or extended road trips. This year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon revealed that, with a little strategy and technique, even the smallest vans can serve as comfortable, well-equipped motorhomes.
