SsangYong Turismo Tourist camper unveiled
Stealth camping enthusiasts are going to like the new Tourist camper van because, apart from a slightly raised roof line and darkened windows, it looks like a regular SsangYong Turismo.
This South Korean people-carrier is certainly an unlikely starting point for a camper, but the unusual result is nevertheless intriguing. Wisely, the conversion work has been outsourced to Wellhouse Leisure, a Yorkshire-based firm that specialises in modifying compact vehicles.
Inside, four travel seats are retained which fold down to form two single beds. Additional living space is created by the colour-matched elevating roof, plus there's an awning for the tailgate.
At the rear, two plywood furniture units accommodate a 25 litre compressor fridge, a sink, fresh- and waste-water containers, a gas locker and a portable toilet. Furthermore, a glass-topped dual-burner gas hob is mounted on a clever sliding mechanism, so cooking can be done either indoors or outside.
Options include a couple of extra berths, mains hook-up, a solar panel and an Eberspächer heater.
Power is provided by a 2.2 litre, four-cylinder, Euro 6-compliant diesel engine that produces 175 bhp (130 kW / 178 PS) with 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of peak torque. As well as a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmissions, customers will be able to specify either rear- or selectable four-wheel drive.
The SsangYong Turismo Tourist camper is being displayed at this month's Motorhome and Caravan Show in Birmingham. Prices start at £29,995.
