Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has launched a range of mini-mobile camping units offering a kitchen area, bed, water supply, and storage space to give owners complete flexibility.
The ‘mobile home in a box’ is a range of modular units that fit into existing luggage compartments and provide travel essentials.
The kitchen can be ready in a few seconds and the bed unfolds in a single movement making life easy out on the road.
The demand for camping equipment has grown in the past year with an influx of Brits holidaying at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
