by For those seeking a compact and versatile camper van solution, PlugVan has recently unveiled its latest offering – the PlugVan Small. Designed to fit small and midsize vans such as the Volkswagen T6.1 and Caddy, Mercedes Vito and Citan, Ford Transit Custom and Transit Connect, and Toyota Proace and Proace City, this camper kit instantly converts your van into a fully-equipped mobile home.
Unlike its larger counterpart, the PlugVan Small takes on an open-topped form, making it more suitable for smaller cargo vans. Built with an easy roll-in and roll-out design, the PlugVan Small is mounted on a height-adjustable cart and rolls into the van on its own set of base-integrated wheels. Once inside, it is securely strapped down to the van’s tie-downs. The entire process takes just a few minutes, allowing owners to enjoy the versatility of an empty cargo van when not using the camper.
The interior layout of the PlugVan Small features a simple yet functional design. Inspired by the popular vis-a-vis kitchen and side sofa layout seen in the VW ID. Buzz, the camper includes a multi-person sofa on the driver’s side and a long kitchen block on the passenger side. The open center aisle provides ample space for carrying luggage, camping gear, or bicycles while traveling. Once at the campsite, the sofa can be extended to create a comfortable double bed measuring 79 x 47 inches (200 x 120 cm).
The kitchen in the PlugVan Small is fully equipped with a rectangular sink, fresh and waste water tanks, and a hookup for an outdoor shower. While a stove is not included as standard, buyers have the option to add a gas cartridge stove or use their own camping stove. For outdoor cooking, a portable camping stove can be placed in the under-sofa drawer, which extends through the rear of the van to create a makeshift outdoor kitchen. Additionally, there is a small worktop that flips open through the sliding passenger-side door, providing additional space for the stove.
To ensure convenience and functionality, PlugVan has included a swivel table that can be used for dining both inside and outside the van. This compact camper also offers a portable dry toilet, providing users with decentralized bathroom amenities.
While the PlugVan Small may lack the advanced touchscreen and app integration found in its larger sibling, this simplicity is more than sufficient for this compact camper. Measuring 6.6 feet (2 meters) in length and adjustable in width between 48 and 65 inches (122 and 164 cm), the PlugVan Small is designed to fit a variety of small and midsize vans. Compatibility extends to older VW T4 and T5 vans, as well as models such as the Fiat Doblo/Peugeot Partner/Citroën Berlingo, Renault Trafic/Nissan Primastar, and Renault Kangoo/Nissan Townstar, among others.
With the PlugVan Small, owners can enjoy the convenience and comfort of a fully-equipped camper van while maintaining the versatility of their small or midsize cargo van. Whether for work or play, this compact camper offers a practical and customizable solution for any adventure.
