The 2022 Citan becomes a compact camper van

Mercedes-Benz and VanEssa mobilcamping have worked together to create a prototype camper van based on the new 2022 Citan Tourer.

The conversion involves two removable furniture modules, making the Citan Tourer a true multi-purpose vehicle.

Opening the tailgate reveals the kitchenette unit. Weighing around 60 kg (132 lb), it houses a single gas burner, a sink and a 31-litre compressor fridge, all in their own pull-out drawers. There’s also a 13-litre water tank, plus space to store food and crockery.

At night, the sleeping system comes to the fore. This is essentially a double bed measuring 1.89 x 1.15 metres (6’ 2” x 3’ 9”). When not in use, the three mattress sections are stacked on top of the kitchenette.

A potential downside is the lack of luggage capacity, especially if rear-seat passengers are being carried. Curtains or window covers are an obvious omission, too.
