Just as there are many types of travelers, the home on wheels sector also offers a wide variety of options capable of adapting to any type of preferences and needs. Those who have in mind alternatives that are compact in size and do not depend on being towed, must clearly take the camper sector into account.
Within this area are included the two proposals offered by the manufacturer Safari Condo in its extensive catalog and which are based on the Ford Transit van. These are called XL Plus and XL Flex and, in both cases, the aforementioned model powered by a 3.5-liter Turbo EcoBoost engine is taken as a starting point.
It should be noted that, if preferred, it is possible to opt for a version with four-wheel drive in case some demanding off-road adventures are planned (or, for example, in snowy areas in winter). In any case, what all versions do share is an interior that surprises with its optimal use of space and that, in addition, integrates all the necessary equipment and systems so that we can be self-sufficient during getaways.
It must be taken into account that the vehicle's cabin offers everything from high-quality countertops to LED lighting and intelligent solutions in all spaces that contribute to achieving a high feeling of comfort and interior spaciousness. The versatile philosophy of most of the furniture is another of its strong points.
The XL Plus variant presents an interesting dining room design with two tables and seats that converts into a bathroom with a shower thanks to a successful idea of modularity. In this way, two useful and different spaces are obtained on the same surface. Also notable, in this version, is the fact that the seats located in the rear transform into a bed for moments of rest.
For its part, the XL Flex camper draws attention for having a bed that can be raised electrically in order to increase the space for loading. This makes it possible to transport bulky sports equipment such as bicycles or inflatable kayaks, for example. And all this without giving up the bathroom, although in this case it is less spacious than in the case of the XL Plus.
Taking all this into account, for those looking for a proposal capable of combining getaways with options such as teleworking, the XL Plus will be the most ideal choice. However, if we are looking for a vehicle for lovers of outdoor sports with bulky equipment, the XL Flex will become the best alternative.
Either variant, however, includes a two-burner hob, water heater, oven and refrigerator with freezer, among other elements. And all this without forgetting two 100 Ah batteries, a 2,000 W inverter and digital screens to control the electricity system and to monitor the different tanks. Optionally, it is possible to add solar panels to take advantage of renewable energy.
In terms of price, these Safari Condo campers start at around 100,000 euros, an amount that will increase depending on the variant chosen and the equipment that is added. If you want to know better what they offer inside and out, you can do so in the video that accompanies this article.
