Combining the manoeuvrability and efficiency of everyday vehicles with practical living and sleeping space, campervans offer the ultimate freedom on the road. As a result, they are becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking for comfortable weekend adventures or affordable family getaways as well as those looking to pursue vanlife. But where did our love of small campervans begin?

Building on the popularity of caravans, small motorhomes were originally designed to alleviate the need for towing by combining all the practicalities of caravans into one vehicle for hassle-free camping adventures. As their popularity grew, panel vans originally intended for commercial use began to be converted into campervans, and more car manufacturers began to adopt the concept in their vehicles.

Arguably, the pioneer of small campervans is the legendary VW campervan, developed by VW and Westfalia. Originally known as a camping bus, it quickly became the number-one choice for keen campers. To this day, VW campervans remain some of the most popular models, and Fiat, Ford, Mercedes and Opel now also offer campervans for sale.

The enduring popularity of small campervans is arguably their versatility. Many small campervans are now based on small, efficient van models. This ensures they are more compact and come with many driving mod cons like parking sensors, making them ideal for getting out about in the city while still being equipped with everything on board you need to enjoy unforgettable road trips.

There are many advantages to buying a used campervan, including:

• A lower purchase price – used campervans generally cost less than a brand new campervan.
• Less depreciation – just like brand-new cars, brand-new campervans can lose significant value as soon as you drive them off the forecourt. Used campervans, on the other hand, are likely to depreciate much more slowly.
• Campervans that are ready to drive away – many new campervans are built to order, which can mean a long lead time until your campervan is delivered. However, when buying used, you can often drive your campervan away on the day of purchase.
• Tried and tested features – while newer models may offer the latest features, often these have not been put through their paces on real-life camping adventures, which can lead to multiple trips back to the dealer to get small issues resolved. With used campervans, you can still benefit from modern features, but any small teething problems are likely to have been resolved.
• Upgraded equipment – when you buy a used campervan from a hire company like roadsurfer, many models will come with upgraded equipment and features as standard. For example, many of our models come with free camping equipment so you’re all set for your first road trip.
