What would the ultimate Volkswagen California-style camper van look like? German startup Rhön Camp has concocted a compelling answer with its very own Ultimate camper van, a VW T6.1 that accommodates four people with a light, adaptable interior.

Looking to branch out, Volkswagen has tried its hand at designing transport for workers stuck behind a desk. VW’s new high-tech office chair comes complete with an electric motor, headlights, horn, an entertainment system, and even a trailer hitch.

Volkswagen is hitting the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show hard in 2022. Several custom builds and some showcases are on display this year, beginning with an SUV known as the Atlas Basecamp Camping Concept.

The ID. Buzz van took forever to get to market, but the ID. Buzz camper van has been moving more quickly. Ququq already has the world's first ID. Buzz camper kit ready to order for well under $3K. It also has a new kit for the VW T7 Multivan.

VW and Hobby may be German brands, but it's Scandinavia that provides inspiration for the new Hobby Maxia Van. The camper van design channels the warm, cozy feeling of Scandinavian "hygge" into an interior that feels like a modern tiny home.

Reimo's new modular Weekender 2 package turns the Caddy Maxi into a capable two-story micro-home with pop-up roof, four sleeping berths, an indoor/outdoor kitchen, indoor dining and even a hidden toilet ... all for under €50K.

If passengers are traveling in a truly self-driving car, they don't have to stay in the traditional seating position. That's where Volkswagen's Gen.Travel concept comes in, as it allows the seating to be rearranged for different types of trips.

VW's Good Night Pack gives the T7 Multivan a new trick, creating a two-person motel room inside the van. Add that to the T7's adaptive seats, multipurpose components and PHEV drive, and you end up with one of the most versatile vehicles available.

We expected to see a few VW Multivan campers at the 2022 Caravan Salon but found only one – a particularly versatile package. The new Reimo T7 Freevan uses a removable kitchen and prototype pop-top to adapt between work, play and everything between.

NEXSD looks to improve the quality of motorhomes with an aluminum construction lighter than a panel van but as spacious as a motorhome. Its "One" prototype is a moto-hauling B+ 4-sleeper ready to spend days or weeks living comfortably off-grid.

It'll be a few years before VW launches an ID. California, but now that the ID. Buzz is in production, the first Buzz camper products are arriving. Ququq fills the e-van with a camper kit, and Hobby hitches an ultralight Beachy trailer behind it.

With the increasing development of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) "air taxis," it shouldn't come as a surprise that automakers are moving into the field. This week, Volkswagen Group China unveiled its own effort, the V.MO.
