Easy to drive and great to look at, there's good reason why Volkswagen has become the go-to brand for campervans ever since the Type 2 split-screen rolled off the production line in 1949. Not much bigger than your standard family car, the VW California Ocean sleeps two adults and two children, has a pop-up roof, a side kitchen, and picnic table and chairs in the sliding door making it ideal for easy weekends away.
