PAPILLON – back to the roots
Everything a true camper van needs

On our stand, presented in cooperation with Touring Cars, you will find the Papillon camper van – representing modern thinking while returning to the roots of camper van design.

The starting point for the Papillon camper van was the idea of “back to the roots” – a return to the original concept of camper vans. Papillon is not a fixed package solution, but a foundation for creating a camper van that suits your personal needs:

  • It can be a light and affordable base model
  • Or a fully equipped complete package
  • Or anything in between – entirely according to your needs and budget
Key features:
  • Price from €47,590
  • Rear transverse bed that can easily be converted into a rear garage and sofa
  • Wide range of optional equipment and customization possibilities
  • Standard white body color, alternative colors available at an additional cost
  • Design decals (4 options available)
  • Pop-up roof available as an optional extra

Papillon is also an excellent choice for rental use, as a lightly equipped configuration helps keep rental prices competitive. For private users, it offers an attractive alternative to a “DIY-style” camper van based on a panel van – or, if desired, the factory can equip the vehicle as a fully finished, comprehensive camper van.
