Trying to decide between the practicality of a caravan and the kitsch cool of a VW campervan? Now you don’t have to.
An innovative British start-up has designed a two berth caravan with the same distinct styling as the characterful vintage air cooled VW campervan.
An icon in the making?
The creators of the Dub-box explain how it ‘draws its inspiration from an infusion of classic American caravans and vintage campers.’ The company has achieved the iconic finish using reproduction vintage parts and cutting edge trailer technology.
The main cabin is constructed by welding the back end of two split screen VW campervans together. Each trailer sits aboard a single axle galvanised chassis complete with brakes. With an MTPLM of 750kg it has been specifically designed to be towed with a normal licence.
Customers can opt for a rolling shell (body shell, floor and door skins on an EU certified chassis) to finish themselves for £5,500, and there’s also a pop top version on offer for an additional £1,700. Options for fabric, flooring, blinds and worktops are available and buyers can also choose the colour of the paintwork on the glass fibre body.
The front dinette converts into a comfortable 6’2″ x 5″ double bed and the Dub-Box kitchen is kitted out with a retro style fridge, two ring gas burner, stainless steel sink with a pump action tap and there’s dual access via an external hatch.
Each van also comes equipped with 240 volt electric hook up and 12 volt power distribution system, LED lighting, a smoke alarm, and for those who like to lounge, a CD player with personal MP3 player charge and dock.
VW are well known for their retro split screen campervans, and the Dub-box offers the vintage cool of the VW brand without the hassle of maintaining vintage engine parts.
