The package is ideal for those who want engage in some light camping.

Mobile home living or just camping, in general, is a lifestyle that is picking up traction among many younger car owners. It's a philosophy that has been applied to the likes of the Toyota Tacoma, as seen at last year's SEMA, and even a camper version of the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. These can be used for your average camping expeditions, but something like Thor Motor Coach's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter could accommodate your daily living needs if you can put $151,060 together for the purchase.

Volkswagen is a brand that also recognizes the benefits of a good camper van with its California Beach offering in international markets. Bolstering this product in the UK market is a new modular camping unit that features a collection of accessories that will come in handy to those looking at getting away from civilization for a short while.

Volkswagen describes this equipment as a mobile home in a box that fits comfortably into the luggage compartment of the California Beach, Caravelle, or Caddy. Operation of the system is said to be quick and easy with the kitchen assembly only requiring a few seconds of labor. The bed can be extended into the cabin with one motion.

Volkswagen Commercial's UK arm says that demand for more camping equipment from its consumers has been on the rise. Due to restricted international travel, a lot more citizens in the region are getting involved in the local camping scene. A recent study suggests that this will not change for 2022 with 52% of locals saying they will not travel out for a vacation during the festive period.

The top-of-the-line BusBox can be applied to the T5, T6, and T6.1 generations of the Caravelle. This gives the bus a bed and mattress, a kitchen area with accommodation for a two-burner stove, additional storage facilities, and a water supply. If you wish to save a bit of cabin space, you can opt for the kit without the mattress.

The smaller Caddy is catered to with the KombiBox which takes just a couple of minutes to install in the trunk space. This unit houses a bed, kitchen area, water supply, and some extra storage space. Those wanting a bit more comfort can add a folding mattress at an additional cost.
