Composed of some serious heavy-hitters in the automobile scene,
Stellantis was established as recently as 2021.
Still, it already sits at the fifth spot in terms of the largest automakers in the world.
That’s thanks to its merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA Group,
which adds up to a whopping sixteen brands, including Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram.
The company has dipped its toes into the electric camper scene too.
We’ll be covering the electric camper van they call the e-Rifter Vanderer.
The e-Rifter Vanderer was announced in 2021 when it was called the Vanderer Urban Camper,
but earlier this year, the company stated that all of its compact and midsize European passenger vans
would be going fully electric and slapped a new name on this model.
It’s that e-Rifter electric van that the company uses as the frame for the camper.
It can seat five and uses a fifty-kilowatt hour battery along
with a one hundred thirty-four horsepower electric motor to maneuver the streets.
You can expect a max range of about one hundred and seventy miles,
but that number can drop to around one hundred and twelve to one hundred and thirty-seven miles
when driving through cities, highways, and country roads.
The battery can charge up to eighty percent in only half an hour when using a fast one
hundred kilowatt charger or a full charge in five hours when using an eleven-kilowatt wall charger.
Taking a gander inside, we are immediately met with the kitchen kit
that can be used inside or out. It includes a worktop, single plate induction cooktop,
and a four-gallon cooler that can be found between the front van seats.
The kitchen block can also shift to a dining table or be broken down into a sleeping platform.
Next to the kitchen hub is the water module, sink, and three-gallon fresh water tank.
And just beyond the water module is the L-shaped couch which can be transformed into a double bed
atop the sleeping platform mentioned earlier.
A second double bed can be found on the camper’s pop-up roof.
The greatest thing about it is that it is completely modular,
so you can take out all your camping accessories, including the kitchen,
water module, and sofa. Then replace them with up to seven seats for everyday use!
If you want an e-Rifter Vanderer for yourself,
you’re looking at base prices of around fifty thousand dollars.
As always, thanks for watching.

Now stick around for our honorable mentions right after this.
The king of compact, and the Ravy from Korean manufacturer Daon is certainly tiny.
Built on top of the Kia Ray, a smaller cousin of the US-sold
Kia Soul, the Ravy measures a mere 11.8 feet from bumper to bumper.
Despite its unassuming size, the Ravy packs some surprisingly functional features.
A slide-out micro kitchenette with sink and storage drawer for a single burner stove
can be tucked away when not in use.
A 100-Ah leisure battery provides power to 220-V, 12-V,
and USB outlets, all controlled by a command center located just inside the tailgate.
There's no fridge, so campers will have to avoid perishables on long trips.
While the Ravy only has two belted seats, with the rooftop raised
and the folding mattress laid out, 4 people can sleep snugly in this mini campervan.
German campervan manufacturer, Terra Camper,
have unveiled their rugged range of 2021 expedition vehicles.
These include the triple berth Terock and the Teacamp that can sleep a family of four.
Both models feature customizable furniture modules that create a
versatile space for cooking and food preparation.
They come equipped with a fridge,
two-burner stovetop, stainless steel sink, and plenty of storage.
The Teacamp's kitchen is slightly slimmer and
in an "L-Shape" configuration to allow a fourth seat and double bed in the rear.
The 2021 models also include an onboard water treatment that removes contaminants
from natural water so you can refill the 40-L freshwater tank
from freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams while out in the wilderness.
Also onboard is a 100-Ah lithium battery with integrated solar panel charging
and A 600-W inverter for off-grid living!
can adapt to any destination and fits into any budget. Designed to enable you to take
your family on an adventure, the Solis features a bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom.
Stay fueled and go off the grid with a one-panel system fitted to the top of
the pop-top roof for a smooth and individual look.
Meanwhile, cozily sleep two people with the long-lasting fiberglass,
easy to use pop-top, and FROLI Sleep System.
The dinette features automotive-grade seating with three-point belts for safer travel.
An optional sofa/bed option presents spacious seating as well as extra sleeping capability.
Features like a cassette toilet, simplified water panel, dual exterior wash stations, easy-to-read
freshwater tank display glass, and the Eco-Hot water system keep you stress free and on the go.
