Why This Van?
Unlike many Caddy conversions, this camper has been designed around clever use of space. The unique sliding cabinet system transforms the living area when parked, making the interior feel significantly larger than a typical micro-camper while still retaining excellent storage.
It is compact enough to be used as a daily driver, economical to run, easy to park, and capable of comfortable off-grid adventures throughout the year.
A genuinely unique and thoughtfully designed campervan ready for its next adventure.
This Volkswagen Caddy Maxi has just undergone a high-quality bespoke camper conversion designed to maximise space, comfort and off-grid capability while retaining the practicality and fuel economy of a compact van.
The interior has been handcrafted using premium birch plywood throughout and features a unique space-saving sliding cabinet system, creating an unusually spacious living area for a vehicle of this size. A newly installed elevating roof provides standing room inside the van and additional sleeping accommodation, while the versatile modular seating converts between sofa, lounge and full bed configurations.
Designed for year-round adventures, the van is equipped with a premium Victron electrical system including solar charging, leisure battery, split charging and Bluetooth monitoring, alongside a diesel heater, compressor fridge, integrated lighting and fresh water system.
The result is a thoughtfully designed, fully off-grid capable micro-camper that combines innovative use of space with high-quality craftsmanship and everyday usability.
The van features an exceptionally versatile sleeping and seating system designed to maximise both comfort and living space.
The lower bed uses a modular pull-out design that can be configured in three different ways depending on your needs:
* Straight sofa mode for travelling, relaxing and maximising floor space.
* L-shaped lounge mode creating a comfortable seating area for reading, working or socialising.
* Full-width double bed mode providing a spacious sleeping area for two adults.
This flexible layout allows the van to transform from a practical daytime living space into a comfortable bedroom within minutes.
The newly installed elevating roof also incorporates a comfortable upper sleeping platform, ideal for one adult. When raised, the roof provides standing room inside the van, dramatically increasing the sense of space and making cooking, changing and living in the van far more comfortable. The sleeping space fits a 80x200cm mattress
