Arthur26 min readThe Sunlight Ibex arrives as a genuine 4x4 campervan from a value brand, on the VW Crafter, at £86,690 in the UK. In a class where rivals cost well over £100,000, that looks like a bargain.

Felix10 min readThe 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.

Here is what you get, what you pay extra for, and whether it is worth it.
