Options can push it beyond £100,000, but a restrained spec can land around £84,000, making it one of the strongest value 4x4 campervans arriving for 2026.
Truma’s CombiNeo 4 E is a new style of combined heater that aims to make motorhome hot water feel far more normal, with hot water in minutes and a shower experience that does not run out after one person. It looks like a real step forward for comfort, especially in UK touring where wet weather, family routines, and site hook up all shape how you use heating.
Eriba’s first proper step into campervans is not a tentative one. The Car 600 and Car 602 sit on the VW Crafter and blend a premium, calm driving feel with clever, caravan inspired details, a striking two colour look, and two genuinely different layouts. This review unpacks what you actually get for the money, where the value is hiding, and which version makes the most sense for how you travel.
The Eriba Car 600 and 602 now offer an optional pop top roof, and it changes who these campervans suit. Here is what the two layouts do differently, how the pop top affects real touring life, and why the metallic bicolour finish makes the manual pop top the best value choice.
Stranger Things season 4 gave us one of the most memorable campervan shaped vehicles on TV: the Surfer Boy Pizza van.

Mercedes Sprinter based campervans and motorhomes usually come with 150 hp, 170 hp, or 190 hp diesel engines. This guide explains which one suits UK touring best, with honest detail on economy, repairability, reliability, emissions systems, and why the 170 hp option is usually the best all round choice.
A pop top roof can turn a big panel van campervan into a genuine four berth, add a quiet space to read or work, and make summer mornings feel properly restorative. It can also be noisy in wind, cold in winter, fiddly when wet, and surprisingly expensive. This guide looks at the real pros and cons, what the roof costs in the UK right now, how to keep it dry and healthy, and who will actually love living with one.
Fiat Ducato and Mercedes Sprinter are the two big base vehicles behind most UK campervans and motorhomes. Fiat usually offers more interior space and a lower floor thanks to its front wheel drive layout, while Mercedes often feels calmer and more stable on the road, especially when loaded.

Internal height is one of the biggest comfort factors in campervans and motorhomes, especially for taller people.
