Go to the website to see the video of it. www.verdier.ca

"If you've ever stayed in a camper van, you'll have been annoyed by the sometimes counter-productive design and thought to yourself, "This could have been done better". It's hard to fit everything you need into such a small space, and campers are often gas-guzzling envionmental disasters too.

Such considerations led a Canadian designer to dream up the perfect camper during a year long roadtrip and the Verdier Solar Power is the result!

The van is based on the concepts of green energy and self-sufficiency. The engine is a 200hp hybrid which runs on diesel or electric. Solar Panels on the roof power all the Van's accessories such as the GPS and computer. It seats and sleeps four people and has a cooker sink, awning and countless other things to make life on the raod comfortable. The cooking range swivels so you can cook outside as well as inside.

If it's ever manufactured it would be around £35,000 which isn't bad for UK at all! "


Its the perfect camper I think however it wouldn't be as good in the UK maybe. Still very interesting.

With that low clearance you'd never get it to half the beaches I surf, can you get a lifted version with 4x4? :?:
