All VW, Ford Nugget and Ford Westfalia Urban Joker Campervans are equipped with a heating system. Even at sub-zero temperatures the heater can maintain comfortable living conditions in the vehicle‘s interior.
All campers are equipped as standard with a high-quality air conditioning unit for operation while driving.
Depending on the camper category, the height of the camper when the roof is closed varies. The VW California models have a vehicle height of 1.99 metres. The Ford Westfalia Urban Joker and Ford Nugget have a vehicle height of 2.05 metres. Entering an underground car park is only possible in a few cases, as only garages of the latest construction date have a height of 2.10 metres.
However, our Premium Camper and Premium Camper Explorer from VW and Ford are fitted exclusively with an air suspension system at a later date. This means that garages under 2 metres can be driven into without any problems.
