Vancubic modular cubes convert vans into campers without drilling

The Spanish company Vancubic has introduced a modular system for converting vans into campers. The system consists of two functional cubes—a kitchen-bathroom module and a living-sleeping module—that are installed without drilling and do not require official approval. The modules are secured with straps, each weighs 300–350 kg, and the price starts at €15,990.

Camper conversion modules as part of modular vehicle concepts

Camper conversion modules are being viewed as an element of modular vehicle platforms, not just as leisure solutions. They allow for the temporary transformation of a commercial or everyday vehicle into a mobile living unit, promoting multiple resource use. Technical integration requires standardized interfaces for compatibility and safety. Such modules can become part of flexible business models, like sharing concepts or seasonal rentals.
