A camper and a daily driver in one If there?s one thing the U.S. camper market is missing, it?s a compact camper that fits in your garage, can function as a daily driver, and still sleep a family for short weekend camping trips. We need a modern-day Volkswagen Westphalia or possibly for Volkswagen to bring its coveted California camper van stateside.

Fortunately, new camper companies have recognized the gap in the market. Recon Campers uses the Nissan NV200 commercial grade van to create campers that give you #VanLife at a fraction of the cost of many larger builds. Their Envy camper features seven feet of standing room thanks to a pop top that contains an 88 inch by 40 inch upper bed. Three upper screened windows allow for airflow or the pretty views all adventurers crave.
Down below, the Envy boasts a custom rear bench seat?made with breathable multi-density foam?that folds flat into a 42 inch by 72 inch lower bed, perfect for kiddos or one adult. A galley kitchen isn?t large but houses most of the basics, like a stainless steel fridge, sink, and pantry area with a bit of room for storage. It lacks a stovetop, so you?ll need to bring that portable Coleman along to cook. A larger closet area is reminiscent of a similar one found in the VW California van, and two drawers under the bench seat provide more space for clothes or gear.
