Removable VW T5 Caravelle Camper Box for Passenger and Family Layouts

Camper Furniture with a 185–190 cm Bed, New Design Mattress Pack, Rear Kitchen and Modular Storage

Transform your VW T5 Caravelle into a practical camper van with a removable, self-install camper furniture kit designed for family holidays, weekend trips and everyday passenger use.

The system is available for compatible SWB/L1 and LWB/L2 VW T5 Caravelle configurations. Before manufacturing, we confirm the model year, wheelbase, original seating and rail arrangement, interior trim, wheel arches, rear air-conditioning equipment and available anchoring points.

The VW T5 Caravelle camper box can include:

✅ A folding camper bed approximately 185–190 cm long and up to 150–155 cm wide in compatible layouts.

✅ A made-to-measure New Design dark grey mattress pack, included with every furniture material option.

✅ A rear pull-out kitchen drawer prepared for a compatible Campingaz-style stove.

✅ A multi-height table for indoor dining, lounge mode and outdoor use.

✅ Several storage trunks and compartments for food, clothes, water, bedding, camping equipment or a portable toilet.

✅ Side storage modules adapted to compatible wheel-arch areas, helping extend the sleeping surface across the rear interior.

✅ A dedicated compartment or optional sliding support for the recommended Coolzone 35L compressor fridge.

✅ A compact folding structure adapted to compatible Caravelle passenger layouts with original seats and seat rails.

When folded, the removable VW T5 Caravelle camper kit remains compactly stored within the rear luggage area, helping preserve passenger comfort, everyday usability and rear visibility.

Selected original seats may remain usable while the camper box is folded. The exact number of available seats and final bed dimensions depend on the wheelbase, seating system, interior trim and selected furniture configuration.

When used as a removable system without permanent structural changes, the kit is normally treated as securely fastened cargo rather than a fixed camper conversion. It must always be properly secured while travelling, and local approval and inspection requirements should be checked according to the country, vehicle and any permanently installed accessories.

Custom Camper Furniture for the VW T5 Caravelle

Tailor-Made Removable Camper Box for SWB and LWB Passenger Vans

The VW T5 Caravelle combines a comfortable passenger interior, flexible seating and generous luggage space. Our custom-made camper furniture kit is designed around these characteristics, allowing you to convert the vehicle for camping while preserving its practicality as a family van.

Unlike a universal camper box, each VW T5 Caravelle camper kit is adapted to the selected wheelbase, original seat and rail arrangement, interior trim and available rear space.

The system is designed for:

  • Compatible SWB/L1 and LWB/L2 VW T5 Caravelle models.

  • Selected passenger layouts in which original seats remain available for everyday travel.

  • Family trips, weekend camping and longer road journeys.

  • Drivers looking for a removable conversion without permanent structural changes.

  • Configurations requiring additional space for luggage, bikes or camping equipment.

The furniture remains compactly stored in the luggage area when folded and converts into a complete sleeping and living system when required. Its modular design combines a folding bed, custom mattress pack, rear kitchen, multi-height table and practical storage compartments within a single removable structure.

Although the T4, T6, T6.1 and T7 belong to the same Volkswagen passenger-van family, their dimensions, seats, rails and interior fittings differ. Each generation therefore requires its own furniture configuration; this camper box is specifically designed for the VW T5 Caravelle.

Camper Conversion for the VW T5 Caravelle

Removable Camper Furniture for Everyday Passenger Use and Camping

The VW T5 Caravelle camper conversion kit provides a practical and reversible way to transform your family van into a comfortable camper for weekend trips, longer journeys and everyday use.

Its modular, self-install design allows the furniture to be fitted or removed without drilling, cutting or making permanent structural changes to the vehicle.

Depending on the wheelbase, original seating arrangement, rail system and selected furniture configuration, compatible layouts may retain 2, 3, 5 or 7 usable seats while the camper module is folded. In selected LWB/L2 VW T5 Caravelle models, all original seats may remain installed, although compatibility must always be confirmed before manufacturing.

When folded, the VW T5 Caravelle camper box and its made-to-measure mattress pack remain compactly stored within the rear luggage area. This helps preserve passenger space, rear visibility and a discreet appearance from outside the vehicle.

When deployed, the furniture converts into a complete camper setup with a folding bed, rear kitchen, multi-height table and modular storage, while remaining suitable for normal family and passenger use when closed.

When installed as a removable system without permanent structural modifications, the kit is normally treated as securely fastened cargo rather than a fixed camper conversion. It must always be properly secured while travelling, and local approval and inspection requirements should be checked according to the country, vehicle and accessories installed. Fixed electrical systems, stationary heaters, windows, roof vents or other permanent modifications may require separate approval.

Materials and Finishes for the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Furniture Kit

Choose from Three 15 mm Plywood Options for Your Removable Camper Box

The VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit is available in three 15 mm plywood options. Each material offers a different balance of weight, appearance, moisture resistance and surface durability.

Every material option includes the made-to-measure New Design dark grey mattress pack. Current prices, available finishes and compatible configurations can be checked directly on the product page.

15 mm Poplar Plywood – Lightweight and Bright Natural Finish

  • Pale, creamy-white appearance with a subtle natural grain.

  • Low weight makes the removable furniture easier to handle and install.

  • Moisture-resistant construction suitable for normal camper use and occasional splashes.

  • Strong and flexible, with good resistance to cracking and splintering.

  • A practical option when reducing the overall weight of the VW T5 Caravelle camper conversion is a priority.

  • Its softer natural surface may show marks if pressed against keys or other hard objects.

15 mm Natural Phenolic Plywood – Warm Finish and Durable Construction

  • Natural wood tone with visible grain and a warm, rustic appearance.

  • Phenolic-bonded inner layers provide good resistance to moisture and regular camper use.

  • Strong, rigid construction with good resistance to knocks and surface marks.

  • A balanced choice for customers seeking natural aesthetics and long-term durability.

  • Its natural surface has a slightly more porous and textured finish.

  • Exposed edges and joints should not remain in prolonged contact with water.

15 mm Dark HPL Phenolic Plywood – Heavy-Duty and Easy-Clean Finish

  • Dark brown, almost black appearance with a modern and professional finish.

  • HPL-faced surface provides excellent resistance to moisture, scratches, impacts and everyday wear.

  • Smooth, non-porous finish that is particularly easy to clean.

  • The most robust option for frequent travel, intensive family use or rental vehicles.

  • Slightly heavier than the other plywood options while remaining suitable for removable camper furniture.

  • Finished edges and joints help improve durability under demanding camping conditions.

Key Features of the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Box

Rear Kitchen, Multi-Height Table and Modular Storage Layout

The VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit combines the main cooking, dining, sleeping and storage functions within a compact removable structure designed for passenger and family vans.

Its modular layout can include:

  • A custom pull-out kitchen drawer prepared for a compatible Campingaz-style single-burner stove or selected larger models, depending on their dimensions.

  • An independent storage trunk behind the kitchen drawer, with a top-opening lid for utensils, food or camping supplies.

  • A central multi-height table that can be used inside the Caravelle in dining or lounge mode and outside the vehicle when camping.

  • An additional top-opening storage trunk located behind the table.

  • Left-side compartments with top and front access for water, clothes, equipment or a 12V outdoor shower system.

  • Optional side modules with top-opening lids, providing extra storage while extending the sleeping platform across compatible wheel-arch areas.

Depending on the selected configuration, the rear module can provide two top-opening storage trunks and three front-access compartments. Compatible side modules can add two further storage areas without compromising the modular bed system.

The exact position, dimensions and opening direction of each compartment are adapted to the VW T5 Caravelle's wheelbase, original seats, rail system, interior trim and rear equipment.

Coolzone 35L Compressor Fridge Compatibility

The VW T5 Caravelle camper box can be prepared with a dedicated compartment for the recommended Coolzone 35L compressor fridge.

Depending on the selected layout, the fridge can be positioned:

  • In the rear section with convenient top access.

  • In the front section on an optional sliding support.

  • Within a dedicated storage compartment integrated into the camper furniture.

The sliding configuration provides easier access when the rear kitchen is open, while the top-access option preserves more space within the front storage area.

Before manufacturing, we confirm the fridge's external dimensions, lid clearance, ventilation requirements and selected furniture layout to ensure correct integration.

The Coolzone 35L compressor fridge offers a practical balance of capacity, energy efficiency and compact dimensions for family trips, weekend camping and longer journeys in the VW T5 Caravelle.

Optimized Layout and Storage for the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Box

Dual-Access Storage, Side Modules and Practical Interior Organization

For compatible configurations, we recommend a left-side storage trunk with both top and front access. Based on our experience, this layout provides one of the most practical ways to organize the interior of a VW T5 Caravelle camper conversion.

The compartment can accommodate a 20L water container for a 12V outdoor shower, camping equipment or a compatible portable toilet.

For more efficient use of the available space, the portable toilet can be stored within the table compartment and moved to the front of the van when the dining area is in use. This leaves the left-side trunk available for water, luggage or other frequently used equipment.

Compatible side storage modules cover or adapt around the rear wheel-arch areas, helping extend the bed platform towards the interior walls. Their top-opening lids provide useful storage for bedding, clothes, towels or smaller travel accessories.

A practical arrangement is to keep clean bedding on one side and clothes or laundry on the other, making the storage areas easier to access throughout the journey.

Drawer Options, Reinforced Guides and Long-Term Durability

A double-drawer configuration may be available for selected VW T5 Caravelle camper box layouts. Although visually attractive, additional drawers, panels and guides reduce the usable storage volume and increase the leverage placed on the sliding system.

For most customers, we recommend larger single compartments because they provide:

  • More usable internal storage.

  • Easier access to bulky camping equipment.

  • Fewer rails and moving components.

  • Lower long-term stress on the furniture structure.

When a drawer configuration is selected, reinforced full-extension guides rated for approximately 30–40 kg can be installed, depending on the drawer dimensions and intended load. Availability and price are confirmed with the final furniture configuration.

The camper furniture is designed to combine structural strength with a finish that complements the passenger interior of the Caravelle. The coordinated plywood options and New Design dark grey mattress pack create a clean, understated appearance suitable for both family travel and everyday use.

VW T5 Caravelle Camper Box Dimensions

The final dimensions depend on the wheelbase, original seats, rail system, interior trim, rear air-conditioning equipment and selected furniture configuration.

Typical measurements are:

  • Main module width: approximately 120 cm.

  • Main module depth when folded: approximately 120 cm.

  • Bed length when extended: approximately 185–190 cm.

  • Sleeping width: up to approximately 150–155 cm with compatible side modules or extension panels.

  • Side modules: approximately 16 cm wide on each compatible side.

  • Furniture height with folded rear seats: generally around 55–61 cm.

  • Furniture height without rear seats: generally around 44–50 cm.

  • Mattress thickness: approximately 8 cm.

If the VW T5 Caravelle has plastic wheel-arch trim or rear air-conditioning ducts, removable side panels can be adapted to the available space. This helps maximize the sleeping width without permanently altering the original interior.

All measurements are confirmed before manufacturing to ensure that the removable camper furniture kit fits the specific vehicle and seating configuration correctly.

Made-to-Measure Mattress Pack Included

Every VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit includes a made-to-measure New Design dark grey mattress pack.

The modular mattress is manufactured with approximately 8 cm D25 foam and divided into sections adapted to the bed, lounge and dining configurations. Its layout allows individual storage compartments to be opened without removing the complete sleeping surface.

The mattress sections fit closely together when the bed is deployed, helping minimize gaps and create a firm, supportive and comfortable sleeping area.

When the camper box is folded, the mattress pack remains compactly stored in the rear luggage area, preserving the Caravelle's practicality for passengers, luggage and everyday travel.

Structure and Stability of the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Furniture Kit

Two-Part Support System for Balanced Load Distribution

The VW T5 Caravelle camper box includes a dedicated storage area for the table leg and folding bed supports. These components remain organized within the rear module when not in use, helping reduce movement and noise while travelling.

When the bed is deployed, its weight is distributed across two main support sections:

  • The main furniture module, which forms the primary structural base within the luggage area.

  • The folding bed extension, which rests on compatible folded rear seats or on dedicated folding supports when the seats are removed.

This two-part structure creates a stable sleeping platform while distributing the load across several support points. The final arrangement is adapted to the vehicle's wheelbase, seat and rail system, interior trim and selected camper configuration.

Adjustable Height for Layouts With or Without Rear Seats

The height of the VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit depends on whether the original rear seats remain installed and how they fold.

Typical height configurations are:

  • With compatible folded rear seats: approximately 55–61 cm, allowing the bed platform to align with the seat-back height.

  • Without rear seats: approximately 40-44 cm, providing more interior height and additional storage capacity.

These measurements are approximate. The definitive height is confirmed before manufacturing according to the original seating arrangement, rail system and interior equipment.

Where the bed extension rests on folded seats, the contact points and supports are configured to distribute the load evenly and help protect the upholstery and seat backs during normal use.

Compact Storage, Tested Stability and Vehicle-Specific Fit

The folding sections, support legs and table components are designed to fit compactly within the rear luggage area when the camper system is closed.

The structure is manufactured to provide:

  • Stable support in sleeping, lounge and dining configurations.

  • Balanced load distribution across the main module and folding extension.

  • Secure storage for removable supports while driving.

  • Easy access to the rear storage compartments.

  • Compatibility with selected original seats and passenger layouts.

  • A removable installation without drilling or permanent structural changes.

Correct anchoring and assembly are essential. The camper box must always be secured using the approved attachment points and installation method supplied for the selected vehicle configuration.

The furniture materials and New Design dark grey mattress pack create a clean, coordinated finish that complements the passenger interior of the VW T5 Caravelle.

Frequently Asked Questions About the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Kit

Which VW T5 Caravelle years and wheelbases are compatible with the camper kit?

The camper kit is available for compatible VW T5 Caravelle passenger vans from 2003 to 2016, including SWB/L1 and LWB/L2 versions. Before manufacturing, we confirm the model year, wheelbase, seating arrangement, rail system, interior trim, wheel arches, rear air-conditioning equipment and available anchoring points.

Does the VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit require homologation?

When installed as a removable system without permanent structural modifications, the kit is normally treated as securely fastened cargo rather than a fixed camper conversion. It must always be properly secured while travelling, and local requirements should be checked according to the country, vehicle and accessories installed.

Can I retain the original seats with the VW T5 Caravelle camper kit installed?

Compatible passenger layouts can retain selected original seats while the camper furniture is folded. The exact number of usable seats depends on the wheelbase, original seating arrangement, rail system, interior trim and selected furniture configuration. Long-wheelbase versions generally provide more space for combining passenger and camper use.

What are the bed dimensions of the VW T5 Caravelle camper conversion kit?

The folding bed is approximately 185–190 cm long. The main furniture structure is around 120 cm wide, while compatible side modules or extension panels can increase the sleeping width to approximately 150–155 cm. Final dimensions depend on the seats, interior trim, wheel arches and rear air-conditioning equipment.

What is included with the VW T5 Caravelle camper furniture kit?

The kit includes a removable folding bed structure, a made-to-measure New Design dark grey mattress pack, rear kitchen drawer prepared for a compatible Campingaz-style stove, multi-height table for indoor and outdoor use, modular storage compartments and the necessary folding supports for the selected configuration.

Depending on the selected layout, other compatible options may include a 2+1 modular structure, sink, outdoor shower, blackout accessories, auxiliary battery, kitchen unit and stationary heater.

How does the VW T5 Caravelle camper kit differ from the VW T5 Transporter kit?

This VW T5 Caravelle kit is designed around passenger and family interiors, including original seats, seat rails, interior trim and comfort equipment. VW T5 Transporter panel van, cargo and Kombi layouts are covered separately because their partitions, interior lining, wheel arches and anchoring points may require a different furniture configuration.

Installing the VW T5 Caravelle Camper Box

Self-Install Removable Furniture with Compatibility Confirmed Before Production

The VW T5 Caravelle camper box is supplied as a removable furniture system designed for straightforward self-installation without drilling, cutting or making permanent structural changes to the vehicle.

Before manufacturing, we confirm:

  • Model year and exact VW T5 Caravelle version.

  • SWB/L1 or LWB/L2 wheelbase.

  • Number and position of the original seats.

  • Seat-folding and rail configuration.

  • Interior and wheel-arch trim.

  • Rear air-conditioning ducts or other equipment.

  • Available anchoring points.

  • Selected material, accessories and fridge position.

The basic installation process consists of:

  1. Positioning the folded main module within the rear luggage area.

  2. Aligning it with the confirmed anchoring points and interior clearances.

  3. Securing it using the supplied or approved attachment method.

  4. Checking that the furniture cannot move during travel.

  5. Deploying the folding sections onto the compatible folded seats or dedicated support legs when the bed is required.

  6. Fitting the modular mattress sections in the correct order.

The table leg and folding bed supports have their own storage area within the camper module, helping keep the luggage compartment organized when the system is folded.

The furniture must always remain correctly fastened while travelling. Compatibility and final dimensions are confirmed before production because Caravelle interiors can vary according to wheelbase, seats, rails, trim and optional equipment.
