Volkswagen and Jayco Crafter Kampervan Looks Amazing. Here’s Why


Volkswagen and Jayco have joined forces to create the Crafter Kampervan, a future icon, and halo vehicle of VW’s evolving van range.

This joint venture is the latest in a product line that includes the Caddy California and Multivan California.

There are many carmakers, but Volkswagen is the only manufacturer to offer this range via its dealer network, complete with a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

Like the VW vans of the past, Crafter gives traveller the freedom to live on the road, and stop where the mood takes its owner. You can sleep, cook, and live, on the move.

Not only will it continue a long line of VW campers before it, but the new model will be Volkswagen Group Australia’s biggest vehicle.

Crafter Kampervan comes in 3 grades from July: Kampervan; Kampervan Style and Kampervan all-terrain complete with Seikel off-road equipment.
