10 of the best new campervans for 2026

The new Volkswagen T7 has undoubtedly split opinion in the campervan world, but CamperKing reckons the latest version of the iconic Transporter is “sleeker, smarter and more efficient” than its predecessors. 

The new T7 Freedom is all about off-grid living – and has the option of a massive 1,000Ah lithium battery with two 120W solar panels. You could possibly argue that it’s overspecced, but the idea is that it lets you run everything – from your fridge to your induction hob and microwave – without needing a hook-up. 

A rail bed system is fitted as standard, with three seats in the back and the option of adding a couple of jump seats for even more flexibility.

Preston-based Landseer is known for its high-spec Transit Custom pop-tops but it is expanding its line-up for the coming season with a fixed bed conversion on the 6m MAN TGE van. The Artemis looks like it’s going to be something special. 

Among the eye-catching features is a cool sliding cooker/worktop and a rear bed that converts to a sofa where you can take in the view from the open doors. 

Although the prototype we saw at the show was designed to the specific needs of one customer, the final version won’t be much different when it goes into production later in 2026.

Boxtime is a new range of Ducato-based campervans from Knaus that comes in four layouts, and two big innovations. First is the washroom featuring a swivel wall to create a full‐sized shower. 

The other innovation is the new Light Weight Technology interior moulding system, which Knaus says saves as much as 60kg of weight, as well as offering significant insulation and sound-deadening qualities. 

All four Boxtime models have either a rear transverse double bed or fixed single beds, with front lounges and multifunctional wall panels that are compatible with kitchen organising accessories.

When Project Yonder founders, Charlie and Grace, set out to design their latest model they had one aim in mind – to create one of the coolest campervans in the UK. And with the Nomad 4X, a 4x4 based on the 6m Mercedes Sprinter, it’s mission accomplished. 

While some “off-road” campers are unlikely to ever venture anywhere more challenging than a bumpy B road, the Nomad is built for adventure. Externally it’s designed to tackle the toughest terrain, while internally it’s all about comfort, from the gas-free kitchen unit to the luxury washroom. 

There’s a touchscreen control panel developed in conjunction with Garmin and the electrical system provides 660Ah of lithium battery power for off-grid living. Ideal for that air-con unit!

With its pop-up roof, spacious living area, funky graphics and separate cab, this is a campervan that takes its inspiration from the self-conversion and – as the name would suggest – vanlife worlds. 

A fixed staircase, complete with built-in cupboards and fridge, takes you up to the roof and a large double bed where you can sleep below the stars. Downstairs there’s a fully equipped kitchen and washroom, and a comfortable lounge area that converts to another double bed.
