Dreamer Camper Sport

Want to take your motorbike in your campervan? This is for you…

Most imported campervans of this size have a garage but few have a garage of this size! This is a campervan designed for a very specific kind of customer – one that wants the biggest possible load area, probably for a motorbike but possibly for other sports gear or even business purposes.

Supersized garage

Let’s start at the back, because that’s where this camper has its USP. Open the tall rear barn doors (which are unglazed) and you’re faced by a huge void under the rear bed – one that at Dreamer’s press and dealer event was only part-filled by a Triumph Speed 400 motorcycle. And that’s without the bed on its highest setting.
It's not just about the space here – up to 2.10m deep, 1.73m wide and 1.40m high according to its maker – Dreamer has also given thought to how you could use it. So, the rear section of the bed hinges up so that you can stand upright in this part of the garage (headroom is now increased here to 2.13m) and, on the nearside, there’s a folding jump seat so you can park your derrière to take off your biker’s boots or whatever. Of course, 12V and 230V power and lashing points are provided, too.

Conventional half-dinette

The rest of the vehicle is more conventional, with a half-dinette lounge and central kitchen (offside, adjacent to the sliding door) and washroom (nearside). One thing that is relatively unusual, though, is that this isn’t just the longest (L4) version of the Fiat Ducato panel van but it’s also the tallest (H3). It’s not the prettiest vehicle (as standard), especially as, this being a Fun model (more expensive Dreamers are called Select), it doesn’t have the company’s usual overcab moulding to give it a bit more style. You can have that, and a Skyview overcab sunroof, however, if you upgrade to Addict spec. You can also have Artense Grey metallic paint with Fun+ or Addict spec; the standard version is white only.
 

Different trim levels

So, there are three trim levels for this model – Fun, Fun+ and Addict, as well as a variety of options packs. We’d be tempted by the Mountain Pack (5.5kW diesel heating, Whale gas/230V boiler and mains underfloor heating) and the Energy Pack (lithium battery and 140W solar panel). 
Go for basic Fun spec and the price is sub-£60k, but we suspect most customers will go to at least Fun+ (shown here) which adds colour-coded bumpers, a flyscreen for the door, front fog lights, diesel (instead of gas) heating, cab blinds, an electric step, etc. Go to the top Addict equipment level and you also benefit from twin leisure batteries, a Pioneer multimedia system, reversing camera, outside shower, Isofix and a third berth.

Huge bed

The interior is dominated by two factors – the hat-wearing headroom of 2.12m and the huge rear bed, in which you sleep lengthways with access via a ladder. At up to 2.10m long and 1.70m wide, the mattress size is certainly generous, although headroom depends on how high you raise the bed. There are reading lights over the back doors, cupboards on the nearside and shelves (with elasticated straps) on the offside. A small roof vent provides ventilation.
The half-dinette lounge is exactly as you’d expect, plus the table has an extension leaf and there are reading lights in the cab. Adjacent, the kitchen is a bit tight for space in the aisle but has three drawers (complete with central locking), a fridge that you can access from outside and a decent area of worktop. More importantly, perhaps, the Duo’Space washroom has a swing-wall to create a shower that’ll be perfect for after your sporting forays.

This is a specialist campervan for those who need a really large garage, especially if you're planning on carrying a motorbike. Its layout focuses on this and the bed above; some other aspects are compromised as a result.
