Van life has become an increasingly popular way for people to travel, explore the world and even work remotely while doing it, but the fact of the matter is that not everybody has the money to purchase an RV or even rent one, which is precisely why a Polish company by the name of 123Labs has developed an ingenious camper kit that can be used in conjunction with hatchback rental vehicles.
The 'MiniB' camper kit weighs in at only 62 pounds and offers dimensions of 110 x 65 x 25 cm when packed in. When opened up, this camping kit reveals a bed platform that can be fitted on top of the folded rear seats to offer a doubled bed sleeping solution. Meanwhile, a kitchen platform can be slid right out to generate a countertop for food preparation and cooking.
Elsewhere, the 'MiniB' camping kit can also be manipulated to create a comfortable sofa solution.
Designed to be used in conjunction with an array of minivans and SUVs, the 'MiniB' camping kit will appeal to would-be travelers and nomads who don't want to shell out for an RV but want to be able to experience van life.
