Hello, everyone. If a family car can take their families camping, make some light meals or even build an outdoor cinema, it will undoubtedly be irresistible to friends who like outdoor life. At a refit exhibition in Germany, Kompanja camper got full praise. Although its configuration is simple, it still got considerable attention. Let's have a look.
Volkswagen T-series and Mercedes-Benz V-class are more mature and common choices when European RV companies build camping RVs, but this German refitting company chose Renault Trafic, a relatively niche chassis system. There is certainly some truth in this choice. First of all, the roof of Renault Trafic will not be as narrow as that of Volkswagen T series models, and the size of the roof bed can reach 1951*1351mm, which is more spacious than the 1981*1211mm bed of Volkswagen camper, and it is more comfortable for two adults to sleep.
in addition to comparing the advantages of Volkswagen models, this chassis is more cost-effective than Mercedes-Benz V-Class models. The new Renault Trafic comes standard with front and rear airbags, parking assistance system, ramp start assistance, Bluetooth system, wireless charging base, etc. Navigation system and LED daytime running lights are also optional, and the overall configuration is not backward.
in terms of power configuration, Renault Trafic is equipped with a 1.6T? DCi diesel engine, the maximum power is 85kW, the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the fuel consumption per 111km is only 6.9L. If the power requirement is higher, you can choose a 1.6L twin-turbo engine, the maximum power is increased to 113kW, and the peak torque is as high as 341N·m, which is enough for daily use.
the floor in the car is provided with a slide rail, which can flexibly arrange the seat combination. Rotate the driver's seat and the driver's seat backwards to get a small meeting area, which can be used as a dining room with a portable table. The side cabinet has a power interface, so if you need to work temporarily, it is no problem to access the laptop. The rear seats can be selected in a single row or a combination of double rows, which can meet the nuclear load of up to 6 people.
The cabinet next to the seat is highly integrated. There is a small kitchen next to the sliding door, which adopts a drawer-type structure. Above it is the shower faucet of Cass stove and long water pipe, and below it is a portable refrigerator, which is compact but very convenient to use. There is a slot for the portable dining table on the side of the cabinet, so you can put the dining table outside the car when camping. The rear space is mainly for storage, and also has a drawing track, which increases the convenience of taking things.
in addition to storing things, the side cabinets also have a big function, that is, they serve as a support for the bed in the car. Although you can choose to sleep with seats spliced together, it is certain that the bed board combination is more comfortable. After the bed board is paved, there are expansion brackets that can be extended to the outside of the car, and the size can reach 2111*1281mm, so you can enjoy more intimate contact with nature, or hang tent cloth on the tailgate for some isolation. Of course, it will be more comfortable if the width of the bed can reach 1681mm without choosing the side cabinet.
another interesting design in the car is the "mobile cinema" on the roof, which uses a set called "Bus? Kino "projection system is simply a combination of LG projector installed magnetically and double-sided projection cloth. Not only can it be projected on the ceiling of the car to watch movies, but it can also be taken out of the car and shared with friends.
The external dimensions of this camping RV are: 4991*2251*2151mm, and the height of about 2 meters can allow you to drive instead of walking in the city. After the seats and side cabinets are removed, it can be turned into a closed van, which greatly improves the vehicle utilization rate. The basic price of the whole vehicle is 41,951 euros, which is about 331,111 yuan. Do you think this design is practical?
