The camper has been a means of transport that has been around for years, but just take a look at modern ones to understand that a lot of water has passed under the bridge in terms of comfort and technology since the days of the old Volkswagen T1.
Small motorhomes grow. Those considering giant luxury campers should know that time is changing things: the campers of the future, smaller and more versatile, are becoming a sort of new mini must-have. A range of fully equipped "tourism small cars" in very small dimensions. A spectacular combination of miniaturization, maneuverability and comfort, mini-camper with shower room, barbecue, even Jacuzzi. In terms of Euro campers like this, however, they are not that small, they have "adult" prices.
Hymer, a German mobility company, recently showed off its vision of luxury mini campers. A hybrid camper concept moved forward, even if slightly: something that will be, the company says, more usual from 2025 onwards. He called it VisionVenture.
Imagine a mini apartment placed on an off-road vehicle. A mini motorhome. I couldn't have been more succinct, this is VisionVenture, and let that be enough. Also because in a small space this 4×4 offers rest areas, a small bathroom and plenty of seats. They won't be giant campers, but super luxury campers, yes, by golly!
Let's take a look at VisionVenture
The internal kitchen, delightful, it is built around a central staircase which also incorporates space-saving containers and leads to one solution for rest mezzanine and air-conditioned separately.
The main living area it absorbs a lot of light from the outside thanks to the large windows and the rear door, which opens to form a small covered terrace complete with barbecue. The allure is that of the super luxury camper, but in the dimensions of a mini camper with shower bathroom. Did I say bathroom shower? Yes. There is even room for one “folding” bathroom complete with cup, sink and shower.
The sofas in the central area of the hybrid camper can become additional beds, while the decorations, shelves and lights create an extremely comfortable and familiar atmosphere. Mini camper, maxi comfort. I may say heresy, but I would prefer it to new luxury campers. At present I can't buy either one or the other.
