Campervan

A campervan is a self-propelled vehicle that provides both transport and sleeping accommodation. The term mainly describes vans that have been fitted out for use as accommodation. They are considered as an alternative to the purpose-built recreational vehicle or motorhome because they are smaller and handle like most vans.
Typically, they are equipped with a "pop-up" roof which is raised during camping and can sleep usually two adults, although most modern campervans have a fixed hightop roof.
They have a very small kitchen with a small gas/electric refrigerator and a two-burner gas hob and grill. For lighting, they would have dual-voltage lighting which can work off either the car battery or off the AC power.
They are sometimes commonly known as Dormobiles in the UK or as 'Kombis' in Australia and the rest of the world. This trend started in the 1950's after after Volkswagen commissioned the Westfalia company to use the Kombi version of their Type 2 transporter as the basis for a campervan.
Since the 70s, the Japanese full-size vans like the Toyota Hiace and the Nissan Urvan, as well as the Ford Transit and the Bedford vans became popular as "base vehicles" for campervans.
