VW Pursuit day van introduced by CamperKing

author: FutureCar Staff    

CamperKing is proud to announce the launch of its latest day van, the Pursuit. This new leisure van has been in development for nearly a decade and combines elements of the Volkswagen Kombi passenger vehicle, a panel van, and a full campervan conversion. Designed to cater to the adventurous and free-spirited, the Pursuit offers a flexible vehicle that can fulfill all daily needs, with a large load space, various passenger-carrying options, off-grid capability, and more. CamperKing's Managing Director, Spencer Grey, explains, "We've designed the Pursuit to help its users be independent, giving them freedom from hook-ups and the restrictions of everyday camping. We think its versatility, combined with our attention to detail, will make it widely appealing."

The Pursuit is based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 and is available in two layouts: the two-berth Pursuit 2 and the four-berth Pursuit 4. Both layouts are offered in short or long wheelbase options. The van features a bespoke rail-floor system with four floor-bonded rails compatible with various accessories and equipment. It also includes a full-width folding rear three-seater bed, a 60-litre underslung fresh water tank, a high-pressure shower attachment, and three 20Ah lithium leisure batteries. CamperKing's UK-made power management system, curtains throughout, and a choice of upholstery finishes are also included.

The Pursuit offers a unique storage solution with its rail system. By pulling the three-seater bed forward on the rails, a large storage area is created at the back of the vehicle. This area can be utilized to carry bikes, paddleboards, camping gear, fishing tackle, toolboxes, building supplies, and more.

The Pursuit 2 does not come with a pop-top roof but can be fitted with an optional roof rack system from Front Runner, a leading overland camping kit manufacturer. The roof rack system includes various equipment such as jerry cans, water containers, storage boxes, and carriers for adventure kit like paddleboards and bikes. These Front Runner items are also available for separate purchase.

On the other hand, the Pursuit 4 features a CamperKing pop-top roof that provides two additional berths, making it suitable for family camping. The roof can be equipped with optional 60W solar panels for enhanced power provision while on the go. Additionally, a half-roof rack supplied by Front Runner is also available.

Inside the Pursuit, the focus is on maximizing internal space. Instead of the typical campervan furniture kit and cooking facilities, the leisure system is hidden behind an interior panel. This allows for greater flexibility, as accessories compatible with the rail system, such as jump seats and modular cooking or washing pods, can be easily moved in and out of the vehicle as needed.
