The eVentje conversion for the Volkswagen ID Buzz is a game-changer in the camper van industry. This custom camper build-out, designed and sold by Ventje, offers a unique and charming experience for those looking to explore the world in style. With its innovative design and thoughtful features, the eVentje camper is setting a new standard for camper van conversions.
The eVentje camper boasts an impressive design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The interior of the camper relies on over 100 magnets to keep wooden surfaces aligned and locked in place. This creates a seamless and cohesive look that is both practical and visually appealing. The camper features a kitchen accessible from both inside and outside, a pop-top tent, and a versatile interior that can easily convert from a lounge to a bed to luxurious outdoor furniture set in minutes. One of the standout features of the eVentje camper is the addition of a folding table and hidden stools, creating an outside bar that is perfect for entertaining guests while on the road.
Enhanced Kitchen and Power Features
Ventje has made significant improvements to the kitchen area of the camper, providing more adaptable prep surfaces and smarter storage solutions. The inclusion of two induction cooktops, a 2200W inverter, and a 2160Wh leisure battery ensures that campers have everything they need to cook and store food on the go. The camper is also equipped with eight USB sockets, 12V car jack, wireless charging surfaces, and AC sockets, making it easy to keep all your devices powered while on the road. Additionally, the camper features dimmable LED light strips, a closable sunroof in the pop-top tent, and various lighting options to create the perfect ambiance inside the camper.
While the driving experience of the ID Buzz remains exceptional, the poorly designed software can be frustrating for users. However, Ventje’s customizations have not compromised the overall driving experience, which remains rattle-free and enjoyable. It is hoped that VW will eventually enable a camping mode on the ID Buzz, similar to its existing California series campers, to enhance the overall camping experience. The eVentje camper can currently sleep four people but is highway legal for only two. Despite this limitation, the camper provides ample space for two people and is a comfortable and enjoyable way to travel.
The modified eVentje ID Buzz starts at €95,000 (approximately $103,000) in Europe. While the camper is not cheap, its retrofuturistic appeal and flexible interior design set it apart from other camper vans on the market. Customers can expect their order to ship in nine months to various European countries, with plans for expansion to the UK and US in the future. Ventje is bridging the gap left by VW since first teasing the ID Buzz in 2017, delivering a worthy all-electric successor to the iconic Type 2 camper.
