Volkswagen Reveals New Jayco Crafter Kampervan

Volkswagen has revealed its brand new Crafter Kampervan by Jayco at this year’s Caravan Camping Holiday Supershow.

Volkswagen Australia partnered with local RV manufacturer Jayco to create the ultimate, go-anywhere Campervan equipped with amenities you expect to find in an Airbnb.

The Crafter Kampervan range is available exclusively in the Volkswagen dealer network, backed by a five-year unlimited-kilometer warranty.

After two years of development with extensive tests at Anglesea Proving Ground in Victoria, the Volkswagen Crafter Kampervan is now the new halo vehicle within the Volkswagen’s lineup which comprises the Caddy California and Multivan California.

At 6.8 meters long and 2 meters wide, it’s the biggest vehicle in Volkswagen’s range.

In July, this exclusive model of the LWB 4Motion Crafter will be available in three versions: Kampervan, Kampervan Style, and Kampervan all-terrain. The latter is equipped with Seikel off-road components such as a 30mm lift kit.

With more than 45 years of experience in Australia, manufacturing over 220,000 vehicles, Jayco has the expertise to customize the Crafter Kampervan with a fit-out exclusively for Volkswagen, which includes essential and mandatory mod cons.
