In Brief

German camper van manufacturer Westfalia has updated its James Cook model based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and introduced the Wave For 2, its most affordable US-ready camper starting at $153,000.

Westfalia has introduced two new camper models. The first is an updated James Cook based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 2025. The key change is an extended left side, allowing a transverse double bed in the rear and improved space utilization. Standard equipment includes a kitchen unit with a two-burner stove, a 90-liter refrigerator, a diesel heater, and underfloor heating.

The second model is the Wave For 2, presented at the Florida RV Supershow. Designed for two people, it is built on an extended Ram Promaster 159 EXT chassis, sleeps up to three, and has a starting price of $153,000, making it the most affordable model in the brand's lineup since its return to the North American market in 2024.
