Campervan manufacturer, CamperKing, launches VW Pursuit day van

CamperKing has confirmed the arrival of its latest Volkswagen Transporter-based day van, the Pursuit

The new leisure van has been almost a decade in development and is designed to be a new class of vehicle, benefiting from elements of the Volkswagen Kombi passenger vehicle, a panel van and a full campervan conversion.

CamperKing’s Managing Director, Spencer Grey, explains

Based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1, the Pursuit is offered in both a two-berth (Pursuit 2) and four-berth layout (Pursuit 4), each available on a short or long wheelbase.

The new model is equipped with a bespoke rail-floor system, featuring four floor-bonded rails compatible with a range of accessories and equipment. A full-width folding rear three-seater bed, manufactured by Mobiframe, is included with the conversion, as is a 60-litre underslung fresh water tank, high-pressure shower attachment and three 20Ah lithium leisure batteries. The set-up includes CamperKing’s UK-made power management system, curtains throughout, and a choice of upholstery finishes.

By pulling the three-seater bed forward on the rails, a huge storage area is created at the back of the vehicle. This area can be used to carry bikes, paddleboards, camping gear, fishing tackle, toolboxes, building supplies, etc.

The Pursuit 2 is designed without a pop-top roof. Instead, it can be fitted with an optional roof rack system featuring a range of equipment from leading overland camping kit manufacturer, Front Runner, which is part of the Dometic Group. The items include jerry cans, water containers, storage boxes, and carriers for adventure kit such as paddleboards and bikes. The Front Runner items are also available for sale separately at shop.camperking.co.uk

Meanwhile, the Pursuit 4 has a CamperKing pop-top roof providing two additional berths, for those who plan to camp with family. The roof can be fitted with optional 60W solar panels that provide exceptional power provision when out and about, as well as a half-roof rack also supplied by Front Runner.

Inside, the Pursuit does not have the furniture kit and cooking facilities you would expect in a typical campervan. Instead, the leisure system is hidden behind an interior panel, meaning internal space is maximised, and accessories compatible with the rail system, such as jump seats and modular cooking or washing pods, can be moved in and out of the vehicle as required.
