Tinkervan's Opel Zafira Camper: Cheaper Than VW California, Two Double Beds
Original source: itransports.fr

In Brief

Tinkervan unveiled a compact camper based on the Opel Zafira with two double beds and a price about 30,000 euros lower than the VW California. The Bürstner Copa 2025 line on Ford Transit was also announced.

Tinkervan has presented a converted Opel Zafira as a compact motorhome. The model is equipped with a 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 180 hp and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Inside, there are two double beds: one in the pop-up roof (1.3 x 2.0 m), the other from the transforming rear seat (up to 1.4 x 2.0 m). The price is about 30,000 euros lower than the VW California. Equipment includes swivel front seats, a 25-liter refrigerator, a 100 Ah auxiliary battery, and driver assistance systems.

According to PassionAndCar.fr, the à la carte conversion includes an auxiliary heater, an electric shower, and an auxiliary battery. However, the model is not sold in France as a factory model, and the question of compatibility with low-emission zones remains open.

Bürstner Copa 2025

A new range of Bürstner Copa 2025 campers based on the Ford Transit Custom was also presented. Models are available in two lengths, up to 5.3 meters, with diesel engines up to 170 hp and optional all-wheel drive. The Copa 530 version includes a built-in shower and toilet, which is rare for vehicles of this size.
