After a tiring week at work, with the weekend joyfully looming ahead of me, I often find myself fantasizing about a short sweet getaway! Just a few days away from my hectic life, and this hectic world, in a bubble of my own, where all my worries are nowhere to be seen. And I do think Camping is a plausible plan! There’s nothing more comforting or exciting than lounging about in a cozy camper while you explore the countryside. You never feel out of place, because these little campers manage to feel like a home on wheels. Fill it up with your dear belongings, and it’s your home away from home. Not to mention the camper designs today are super innovative and inventive! From VW ID Buzz electric camper to a Toyota Hilux camper that is the most rugged two-bed, pop-up roof overland rig you’ll ever ride – these resourceful campers manage to cater to almost all of our needs, solving various problems, and turning our camping experience into a fulfilling and comfortable one.
1. Love Campers VW ID. Buzz Camper Van
Love Campers and Wild Drives teamed up to create the Love Campers VW ID. Buzz camper van – a head-turning automotive that is available to rent in the UK. The fun-looking camper features a lime yellow and bright white dual-tone exterior and a matching interior. You will feel like you’re stepping into a literal work of art!
Why is it noteworthy?
The interior of the VW ID. Buzz is designed to maximize space. The sofa slides out to transform into a snug double bed, and the kitchen area – bang opposite – includes a sink with a foldaway faucet and an induction hob.
What we like
- Sustainable design perfect for couples or solo travelers
- Outfitted with a 77KwH battery and rooftop solar panel to take care of the power needs of the electronics onboard
What we dislike
- It only has a portable toilet, which is not a comfortable option for everyone
2. Emma
A camping trailer with a distinctive personality, Emma is designed to make those scenic rides in the city outskirts more exciting. The trailer is fashioned with a glass door on the passenger side. Kuckoo will give adventurers an option to customize the camper with a glass door on the driver’s side as well.
Why is it noteworthy?
Emma is the second desirable camper from Kuckoo. Bruno, the first variant, is a lovable option in the rugged camper market in Europe. Emma borrows the acceptable mechanics and layout of the Bruno and scales it down in size to make the micro camper easier to tow using a vehicle of choice.
What we like
- Easier to tow using a vehicle of choice
- The glass sides of the Emma along with the rear glass window and a skylight in the living area, make this camper a day rider’s delight
What we dislike
- It’s not yet on the market!
3. BR75
Called the BR75, this SUV adventure camper is a Toyota Hilux that has been transformed into an amazing camper for four people. The Toyota Hilux is an extremely robust and mobile vehicle, which makes for one of the most rugged truck campers there is, making it extremely easy to drive to places that would usually be out of reach.
Why is it noteworthy?
Direct Cars has mounted a camper module to the back of the Hilux, without altering the mechanics or form factor of the five-seat pickup. By combining a full-fledged pickup and a camper, the Japanese SUV Adventure Camper BR75 becomes an all-terrain overland rig to keep you cozy no matter how remote a place your journey takes you to.
What we like
- Laid out with seats and a folding table, which can transform into a double bed on demand
- Comes with an optional pop-up roof
What we dislike
- There is no reference to a toilet onboard, you’d probably have to carry a portable seat along
4. The Tune M1
The Tune M1 is a lightweight, adventure-ready camper that compromises little on comfort and functional versatility. The innovative camper is designed to take you anywhere you like during the day while providing you with complete comfort and rest within the truck’s pop-top canopy extension by night.
Why is it noteworthy?
The lightweight truck camper, starting at just 360 lbs, allows the cabin to be used for sleeping, cooking, remote working, or even for toy hauling when you’re venturing out for a ski, fishing, or snowboarding adventure.
What we like
- The camper has a sleeping loft, while the pop-up roof (up to 6ft 10-in of interior headroom) ensures you can stand up in the living area with ease
What we dislike
- The expanded cloth structure may not be protective enough in case of bad weather
5. The Tuktut
The Tuktut is designed to transform mid-sized pickups into fully functional campers. It is a convenient, efficient, and affordable way to embark on outdoor adventures without having to give up mobility and comfort. The hardtop rig is apt for seamless integration with mid-sized pickups without breaking the budget.
Why is it noteworthy?
Tuktut attaches to the truck bed, creating a cozy living space that can comfortably accommodate two people. The camper’s lightweight construction ensures it remains agile, allowing for easy maneuverability, both on and off the road.
What we like
- The camper is equipped with a sizeable lithium battery and a 175W monocrystalline solar panel system so that adventure seekers can power their electronics, charge devices, and run essential appliances
What we dislike
- Built specifically for the Ford Maverick – it’s a limited design
