Embarking on a road trip in a travel van is a magical experience. Since those who choose to go on such a journey will spend hours in their travel van, it's crucial to pick the right vehicle tailored to their needs.

Travel vans come in all shapes and sizes. These are some of the best picks, ranging from timeless classics made by some of the world's most legendary automakers to high-tech motorhomes built by niche companies you may have never heard of before.

With its elegant design and high-quality craftsmanship, the Viano provides a sophisticated travel experience for those seeking both style and functionality on the road. There's also enough room for endless interior layouts, suited ideally to the buyers' individual needs.

Volkswagen Caddy

The Volkswagen Caddy is a compact van that offers versatility and functionality in a compact package, making it the perfect choice for a travel van conversion. With its stylish design and smart features, the Caddy is a great pick for urban explorations and everyday adventures.

Its spacious interior provides ample room for passengers and cargo, while the configurable seating options allow for easy customization. The Caddy offers a comfortable and smooth ride thanks to its efficient engines and responsive handling. Whether you're running errands or embarking on a road trip, the Volkswagen Caddy is a reliable and compact travel companion that combines practicality and style.

Ford Transit Connect

Much like the previously mentioned Renault Kangoo or the Citroen e-Berlingo, the Ford Transit Connect is ideal for buyers in the market for a small van to convert into a camper. This little utility truck is perfect to drive around busy cities while also being practical enough for longer journeys.

Once the original interior is stripped and ready for the self-made conversion, you'll realize how spacious the Transit Connect really is. There's enough space for two people to sleep and dine in relatively comfortably.

How to convert your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter into the ultimate motorhome

With its large size, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter panel van is a favourite for motorhome conversions for those who want to get away from the crowds without compromising on comfort.

Mercedes-Benz Vans has a network of approved VanPartners in South Africa that will design a custom motorhome to customers’ requirements. On purchasing a Sprinter, customers are put in touch with a VanPartner that meets Mercedes’ quality standards and turns the vehicle into a holiday vehicle without the factory warranty and service plan being affected.

There are a number of short- and long-wheelbase Sprinter panel vans in the line-up, but, due to its all-wheel-drive capabilities, the 319 CDI AWD Standard is a favourite for motorhome conversions as it handles various terrains and weather conditions with ease.

At 5,932mm in length and 2,361mm in height, it offers a roomy basis for conversion into a home on wheels, while the 2.0 l  turbodiesel engine produces 140kW of power and a hearty 450Nm of torque to haul the big vehicle.

The AWD motorhome showcased in the images typically takes about 12-15 weeks to convert, while more basic conversions take less time and the cost can vary significantly based on what you want to add and remove. The motorhome in the pictures comes to a cost of R700,000-R935,000 excluding VAT, on top of the Sprinter 319 CDI AWD’s base price of R1,397,242.

The motorhome was converted by CT Convert, a Cape Town-based VanPartner that equipped the Sprinter with a double bed, kitchenette, a table and bench, bathroom, insulated walls and solid wood finishes. The kitchenette has a sink with mixer, a two-plate Snappy Chef, undercounter fridge/freezer and a microwave.

The luxurious interior also has a smart projector, sound bar, coffee machine and air conditioning.

The converted Sprinter has two 75 l tanks — one for fresh water and one for waste — an awning, tow bar, roof rack and custom rear storage. Ensuring it’s ready for rough adventure trails, it rides on Fox air suspension and high-profile 18” tyres.

“When converting the Sprinter into a mobile home you have the flexibility to fill it with the features and customisations of your choice, allowing you to take the luxuries of your everyday life with you wherever you go,” says a Mercedes-Benz Vans spokesperson.

“You can install the kitchen of your dreams, with sleeping quarters, or Wi-Fi and a stylish office nook, to create a home away from home.”

The Sprinter range is powered by a selection of 2.0 l turbo diesel engines with outputs that vary in output from 84kW/300Nm to 140kW/450Nm. Depending on model, the transmission is a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic, with drive fed to either the rear wheels or both axles.

Prices for the 11-model Sprinter line-up range from R805,120-R1,397,242, including a two-year/unlimited distance warranty and optional service or maintenance plans.

The Sprinter comes in three sizes with lengths of 5,932mm, 6,967mm and 7,367mm. It requires a code C1 (old code 10) driver’s licence.

Brabus Mercedes Sprinter is the world's poshest van

Brabus unveils its new mercedes sprinter-based business lounge passenger ‘van’ at the moscow motor show.

Take one Mercedes Sprinter , leave it with tuning house Brabus, and this is what you get: the Brabus Business Lounge.

Revealed at the Moscow Motor Show and based on the long wheelbase, high roof Sprinter, from the outside it still looks every inch a van, aside from the 18-inch Monoblock wheels, LED daytime running lights, two new exhausts and a redesigned front bumper. Brabus has really worked its magic inside though, adding four leather-trimmed business seats in a face-to-face arrangement, each of which will recline flat should passengers feel the need to catch up on some sleep.

These seats also feature lumbar support, a massage function, heating, ventilation, and are electrically adjustable, with three-position memory function. For extra flexibility, two removable seats can be fitted in the luggage bay, turning the Business Lounge into an eight-seater. 

Brabus hasn’t stopped there, either, adding three power-retractable tables to the cabin, as well as climate control, a fridge and coffee machine. There are six dimmable reading lights, too, plus an integrated LED ceiling display that can project up to 12 animations, such as a starry night sky or a fireworks display.

For a more connected entertainment experience, passengers can plug any tablet into the Business Lounge’s on-board media system, and there’s mobile high-speed internet access, plus a hard drive, Blu-ray player and Playstation 4 console. If that weren’t enough, live HDTV is available via DVB-T or Apple TV, transmitted to a 42-inch full HD LCD screen located behind the driver’s cab.

Miracast allows smartphone content mirroring onto this display, or a smaller 10-inch screen for the rear facing seats, with sound coming from a 1,200W Dolby surround sound system. Helping minimise the number of switches needed to control all of the above, each seat gets a five-inch touchscreen display that manages various in-car functions.

There’s no word from Brabus on price, and each Business Lounge model is built to order.
