Traveling in a camper van
Home on four wheels
What exactly is a campervan?
A campervan, also known as a camper van, caravanette, motor caravan, or
simply a camper, is a self-powered vehicle that provides both
transportation and sleeping accommodations.
A campervan is typically a van that has been customized with sleeping
and some living accommodations. You’ll often find them built on Mercedes
Sprinter or Ford Transit bases. However, just about any van can be
customized into a campervan, with old VW vans even being a popular
choice.
Camping vans have increased in popularity over recent years as people
start to ditch the conventional “American dream” of owning a home and
instead opt to live the nomad lifestyle of living in a van. It’s become
a social media phenomenon with its own hashtag, #vanlife.
