FelixFelix14 June 202625 min read

The Sunlight Ibex and the Bürstner Habiton X are both genuine 4x4 campervans from the same parent group, yet they could hardly be more different.

The clever staircase: how the Sunlight Vanlife 540 lives like a small flat

FelixFelix13 June 202620 min read

Most compact campervans force you to choose between a fixed bed and a proper living space. The Sunlight Vanlife 540 refuses the choice with one unusual idea: a permanent staircase up to the bed, which frees the whole rear of the van for a lounge. Here's why it works so well.

Sunlight builds its campervans in two distinct lines, the conventional Cliff and the clever-layout Vanlife, and people muddle them constantly. The difference comes down to one big question: do you carry two, or four? Here's how to choose between them.

Van flares and space pods: which to choose, not whether to buy

FelixFelix11 June 202617 min read

If your van is too narrow to sleep across, flares are the clever fix: moulded panels that widen the body just enough for a crossways bed, freeing up your whole floor. The real question isn't whether to fit them, it's which ones, how deep, and on which side. Here's the honest guide.

FelixFelix22 February 202610 min read

The Sunlight Vanlife 540 V rethinks the compact campervan with a walled-off cab, fixed staircase to the pop-top bed and the largest bathroom in the Sunlight range. Starting from £61,690, it is innovative and well-specced, but the complete lack of cab access from the living area is a notable miss.
