The 5 at 5 Get away in style, whatever your bank balance.

CAMPERVANS SYMBOLISE FUN, freedom and adventure and they are a great way to travel as a group, especially with children.

So why not pack your bags, round up your family and friends and hit the road in a home on wheels made by Volkswagen… you know, the company that made the most iconic campervan of all time.

We’ve rounded up some of the coolest campers currently available, from the dream campervan to the (slightly more) affordable.

The Karmann Colorado 550 motorhome is based on the Volkswagen T5. Karmanns have a really good reputation and are considered to be a bit more upmarket with some nice luxury features.

The build quality is great and this van is powered by a 2.5-litre Volkswagen T5 engine with an Alko Chassis. The interior is nice and bright and airy with a wonderful finish and it features LED lighting throughout. This motorhome is a very comfortable way to hit the road.

This campervan conversion is based on the long-wheelbase Crafter van and features everything you could possibly need for a road trip, including the kitchen sink. It has four berths, a washroom with shower and toilet and kitchen with a microwave, fridge, gas oven and two-ring gas hob combo unit.

At night you can take out the four deckchairs and sit underneath the four-metre awning – or if it is raining you can take shelter inside, lie back on the beds and look at the stars through the roof light. Lovely stuff.
