This has prompted Korean company SsangYong to fill the gap by offering a well-equipped camper van that is designed to offer all the necessities as well as some bonuses without hurting the pocketbook. The [SsangYong Turismo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssangyong-torres) is a camping van that comes equipped with a pair of foam mattress beds, a portable toilet and a charging system that can be used to power up your devices. It also features a 176-horsepower diesel engine for improved power on the road. By offering all the necessary features but eschewing [luxury features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robeta-ananya-glampervan) that often go under-used anyway, SsangYong has managed to launch a camper van that will appeal to the masses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Affordable Camper Vans:** SsangYong's budget-friendly camper van provides all the necessities without breaking the bank. - **Outdoor Adventure Travel:** The rising demand for accessible camper vans reflects the increasing interest in outdoor adventure and long-term travel. - **Minimalist Camping Gear:** The SsangYong Turismo highlights the trend of minimalist camping gear, focusing on essential features for a comfortable experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Affordable camper vans like the SsangYong Turismo present an opportunity for the automotive industry to target budget-conscious consumers. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The demand for affordable camper vans opens up opportunities for the tourism and hospitality industry to cater to adventure-seeking travelers. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The rise in affordable camper vans creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the outdoor recreation industry to provide accessible and convenient camping options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ruggedly Luxurious Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-camper-van.md) - [Cross-Country Camper Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camper-truck.md) - [Rental-Compatible Camper Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camper-kits.md) - [Accessible Off-Grid Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/procamp-camper-van.md) - [Capacious Pop-Top Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptop-campervan.md) - [Well-Equipped Mini Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caravan-outfitter-free-bird.md) - [Tent-Topped Sleeper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeper-van.md) - [Transforming Off-Grid Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanspeed-evergreen-dream-2.md) - [Backcountry 4x4 Camping Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyteller-crew-mode-camper-van.md)
