Far from being a functional camper van, Volkswagen’s new “Glamper Van” features a wavy, ultra-bright multi-tone wrap on the outside and a colorful rose-float inside. For actual camping, the only thing that’s useful is that fluffy couch that looks like it can transform into a bed with a kick of its heel—true Summer of Love wagon style.

Future premieres of “Tonke’s ID” are still in the works. The Buzz camper preview isn’t any more detailed than Volkswagen’s Glamper Van. Tonke says it will focus on versatility, developing a van that is as good for camping as it is for everyday driving and mobile office. The camper will also offer all-wheel drive for a more all-season/terrain-capable e-cam experience.
Tonke was one of the first companies to convert the Mercedes-Benz EQV electric van into a camper, and also offers a camper based on the Volkswagen T6/6.1. Both vans feature an innovative swivel galley that supports indoor/outdoor cooking and an available twin-bed layout with a pop-up sleeper roof.
Tonke plans to launch the Buzz camper in early 2024. We’ll keep an eye out for more details as time approaches.
