Latvian company Puna Vanlife has developed a new camper layout for 6-meter vans (MAN TGE, Volkswagen Crafter) that omits the sliding door and passenger seat, with entry through the cab door. The interior features two double benches that convert into beds and a removable hanging cot for a child, allowing transport of five belted passengers (four with ISOFIX) and sleeping up to four. The kitchen is compact, and the rear houses a bathroom with shower and toilet.
