While Westfalia Americas was busy hosting a full brand relaunch with the $155,000+ Wave camper van in Florida this week, the brand's German HQ was in Stuttgart making some new product waves of its own. In fact, it premiered the type of small, affordable pop-top Americans would love to welcome as part of the brand's US return ... but, unfortunately, didn't see in Florida. The lovable, little Club Joker Urban camper van arrives for Europe as a Ford Nugget alternative that seats up to six people, sleeps four and packs…

Just a few months after Citroën officially pulled the trigger on its own classically inspired camper van, another magnificently retro Citroën camper van is being prepped for the street. German camper van dealership Caravan Grebner has teamed with conversion shop Vanderer and Italian body kit maker Caselani to create an electric camper wagon that looks quite unlike any other. The new e-Berlingo camper pulls inspiration from the classic Citroën 2CV Fourgonnette delivery van to bring some vintage motoring flair to the modern…

We recall quite clearly making a sharp 110-degree left after catching the original PlugVan camper box out of the corner of an eye at CMT 2019. After answering our initial "What the #@!$ is that?!", we ended up walking away quite impressed with the all-inclusive camper van floor plan built to roll in and out of full-size vans. Since that original debut, PlugVan has been growing a full product lineup of plug-and-play van modules for both work and play. Its latest is a smaller camper kit that instantly converts small and…

Some of the best snowboarding, mountain biking and hiking trips take place not in fancy five-star spa hotels but in the most basic hostels, cabins and yurts, barebones accommodations that encourage travelers to spend more time doing what they came for, less time soaking up luxury in the hotel. It's that type of simple, focused trip that guides the design of the new Hippie Caviar Motel concept that Renault teased on Tuesday. Built atop the Kangoo E-Tech electric compact van, this Hippie Caviar is very different from last…

With a modular, multifunctional rear lounge so comfy it puts most full-size camper vans to shame, the Vanderer Urban Camper was easily one of the coolest mini-campers of 2021. A year and a half later, it's getting even better. The homey tiny lounge-on-wheels is going fully electric atop the Peugeot e-Rifter and Citroën e-Berlingo. It's hard to tell what's most efficient about the new van – its zero-emissions powertrain or its ability to work as a daily driver for up to seven passengers before morphing into a camper that…

Following up on the launch of its smallest camper van, the Copa, Bürstner presents a more all-terrain-ready multitool adventure van, the Copa 4x4. The sub-5-meter mini-camper van gets an Extrem 4x4 system that splits torque 50:50, along with some rugged accessories and accoutrements, including the ever-foreboding Raptor grille. Micro-adventurers looking for a bit more grip and grab on loose earth now have the right tool for the job. Bürstner takes things a step further than Ford itself by launching a Transit Custom…
