Caddy Camper: The Perfect Camping Partner

A derivative of the Volkswagen Golf, the Caddy Camper is an M-class leisure vehicle designed for those with active lifestyles. First released in Europe in 1982, the Caddy Camper has had several iterations over the years, including pick-up and coupé-utility models. eBay has a range of Caddy Campers listed, all at affordable prices.

This Caddy Camper model offers significant storage space. As well as an optional electric skylight and 7-litre cool box, other features include:

• Folding camp chairs: New versions of the Caddy Life come with camper-friendly folding chairs and a portable table. If buying a second-hand Caddy Camper, check the listing carefully for the accessories included in the sale.
• Block-out curtains: With dedicated fitments at the appropriate places, integrated privacy screens have been included in the design of both the Caddy Maxi and Caddy Maxi Life.
• Walk-through tent: Fitted at the tailgate of the van, this adds a covered dining space or an additional weather-proofed sleeping area.
• Fold-out bed: Accommodating a 5 cm mattress, this sleeping berth sits high off the base of the van to allow for a permanent storage area underneath.
• Storage: Zipped, pocketed, and clip-fastening small-storage is integrated into all areas of the vehicle. This includes under-seat storage at the driver and passenger areas.
