The eVentje, a custom camper build-out for Volkswagen’s ID Buzz, is now available for general sale in Europe. Designed and sold by Ventje, a small but rapidly growing company based in the Netherlands, the eVentje conversion is gaining popularity as VW delays the release of a California edition of the ID Buzz. This aftermarket camper product has been refined to offer a unique and innovative camping experience for ID Buzz owners.
The Ventje camper design relies on more than 100 magnets to keep all wooden surfaces aligned and locked in place, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The interior features a kitchen accessible from inside and out, a pop-top tent, and a multipurpose layout that effortlessly converts from a lounge to a bed to luxurious outdoor furniture. The addition of a folding table and hidden stools to create an outside bar enhances the overall functionality and versatility of the camper.
Ventje has made significant improvements to the kitchen area, offering more adaptable prep surfaces and smarter storage solutions. The inclusion of two induction cooktops, a 2200W inverter, and a 2160Wh leisure battery powered by solar panels and a mini shore-power outlet ensures a reliable and efficient power supply for all camping needs. Additionally, the camper provides multiple USB sockets, wireless charging surfaces, and AC sockets for added convenience.
Despite Volkswagen’s poorly designed software, the ID Buzz remains a standout in terms of driving experience, even with Ventje’s customizations. Ventje aims to enhance the camping experience by adding features like a camping mode for easier heating and cooling control when parked. The eVentje camper can accommodate four people but is currently highway legal for only two, making it ideal for couples or small families looking for a cozy and functional camping option.
The modified eVentje ID Buzz starts at €95,000 (about $103,000) in Europe, positioning it as a premium but competitive camper conversion. Orders can be placed in advance, with shipments expected to reach customers within nine months in select European countries. Ventje plans to expand its reach to the UK and US in the future, offering more customers the opportunity to experience the unique charm and functionality of the eVentje camper.
Ventje’s eVentje camper conversion for Volkswagen’s ID Buzz combines clever design, innovative features, and quality craftsmanship to deliver a truly one-of-a-kind camping experience. With a focus on versatility, comfort, and style, the eVentje is set to become a popular choice among ID Buzz owners seeking a premium and customized camping solution.
