It hasn\u2019t even been 24 hours since I reported on the new Sprinter 144 AWD\u2013based, highly versatile Vanspeed\u00a0Album camper van<\/a>, and already another high-quality Volkswagen camper van is knocking at the door. This one is being transformed in the workshops of Dutch converter Tonke and is aptly called the Basecamp, which should be with us any time next month, if the camper van\u2019s webpage on Tonke\u2019s website is anything to go by.<\/p>\n

If all goes as planned, Tonke is likely to launch the Basecamp, its most robust, self-sufficient, and luxurious camper van, in May 2026. The adventure vehicle perceived will be based on the latest generation Volkswagen Transporter with a well-thought-out interior, enhanced by underfloor insulation, off-grid power systems, and the structural integrity to go where life takes you.<\/p>\n

Designer: Tonke<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Basecamp will be a pop-top camper van, the Tonke notes on its website. With sleeping and daytime sitting accommodation for four people, the camper van will be equipped with a spacious kitchen, toilet, shower, and storage for longer trips. Of course, being based on the VW Transporter, the van will be offered with a choice of three powertrains, depending on buyers\u2019 travel needs and carbon footprint preferences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cTonke Basecamp will be available as a hybrid camper, an electric camper, and as a traditional diesel variant. In addition, there will be a powerful 4\u00d74 version.\u201d Buyers can go with an all-electric Basecamp camper van version for the zero-emissions adventure, or the hybrid variant would allow \u201csmooth and quiet electric drive,\u201d with the assurance of extended range as compared to a combustion engine. The regular diesel powertrain will provide maximum towing capacity and endurance for longer journeys.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Irrespective of the powertrain you choose, Basecamp will provide a customized Volkswagen Transporter \u201chand-built to Tonke\u2019s quality standards.\u201d The pop-up roof Basecamp is confirmed as a four-person sleeper, with a 91 x 47-inch bed in the pop-out and a convertible 79 x 39-inch bed in the lower section. The cabin will function as a lounge area during the day with an extendable dining table and a lounge area for four people.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A smartly designed Volkswagen Transporter Basecamp camper van will, Tonke notes, \u201ccomfort level of a large Mercedes Sprinter camper.\u201d To that accord, it will embed a spacious kitchen with a 60L water tank, a 16L boiler for hot water supply, and an 80L refrigerator. There are no other details about the kitchen setup at the time of writing. But we learn that the van will have a wet both complete with a shower and a toilet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really interesting is the fact that the Basecamp will be provided with an underfloor heating system, preparing the camper van for all-season comfort. The entire package is likely to arrive in May for a starting price of \u20ac50,668 (approximately $60,000).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
