Petite Luxury Campers

The MINI Campers are Ideal for the Modern-Day Adventurer

— July 23, 2013 — Autos
In the spirit of the hot summer months, MINI has presented a trio of vehicles that double as campers. The innovative concept provides adventurers with luxurious camping, an activity that has been referred to as ‘glamping.’ Buyers can choose from the lineup of vehicles, each of which has its own unique amenities to suit the needs of vacationers.

Perfect for those camping in solitude, the MINI Clubvan Camper comes equipped with a bed, fridge and propane stove. Thought of as a ‘home on wheels,’ all of the necessary amenities are included: a built-in shower system, TV and auxiliary heater. The Countryman ALL4 Camp comes equipped with a rooftop tent that simply folds out of its storage box.

A folding ladder allows for rooftop access. The Cowley Caravan compact touring attachment accommodates two sleepers. The model features a TV, kitchenette, 2 beds, sliding windows, a stereo system and a gas stove. Whether traveling solo or with another, to a beachside destination or rocky terrain, the collection offers the possibility of ‘MINI adventures.’
