VW Pursuit day van released by CamperKing

author: FutureCar Staff    

CamperKing is proud to announce the arrival of their newest day van, the Pursuit. This leisure van has been in development for almost a decade and is a unique vehicle that combines elements of the Volkswagen Kombi passenger vehicle, a panel van, and a full campervan conversion.

Spencer Grey, the Managing Director of CamperKing, explains that the Pursuit is designed to fill a gap in the market. It caters to adventurous and free-spirited individuals who need a flexible vehicle for their daily needs. The Pursuit offers a large load space, numerous passenger-carrying options, off-grid capability, and more. Its versatility and attention to detail make it appealing for both work and weekend adventures.

The Pursuit is based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 and is available in two layouts: a two-berth (Pursuit 2) and a four-berth (Pursuit 4), with options for short or long wheelbase.

Equipped with a bespoke rail-floor system, the Pursuit offers four floor-bonded rails that are compatible with various accessories and equipment. It includes a full-width folding rear three-seater bed, a 60-litre underslung fresh water tank, a high-pressure shower attachment, three 20Ah lithium leisure batteries, and CamperKing's UK-made power management system. The interior features curtains throughout and a choice of upholstery finishes.

The Pursuit also offers a spacious storage area at the back of the vehicle by pulling the three-seater bed forward on the rails. This area can be used to carry bikes, paddleboards, camping gear, and more.

The Pursuit 2 does not have a pop-top roof but can be fitted with an optional roof rack system from Front Runner, a leading overland camping kit manufacturer. The Pursuit 4, on the other hand, has a CamperKing pop-top roof that provides two additional berths for family camping. Optional 60W solar panels and a half-roof rack from Front Runner are also available.

Inside, the Pursuit does not have the typical furniture kit and cooking facilities found in a campervan. Instead, the leisure system is hidden behind an interior panel, maximizing internal space. 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.
