Although the Opel Vivaro is best known as a delivery vehicle in Europe, the German automaker has decided that it could also be a great camper van. The automaker today unveiled the Alpincamper Vivaro 2 and 4 motorhomes for families or couples.
Created with the help of German conversion specialists Alpincamper, the larger model comes with a pop-up tent and sleeps four. In addition to the two front seats, it also has two more seats in the rear with Isofix fittings for car seats.
Once at the campsite, the rear bench can be converted into a double bed (3.9 x 6.3 ft/1.2 x 1.95 meters) in seconds. In addition, the pop-up roof makes standing more comfortable, or it can be fitted with another double bed of the same dimensions as the lower bed. Sleepers can reach it by climbing over the front seats, so they’ll really have to brush off their feet very well before getting into bed.
The Opel Alpincamper Vivaro 4 also has a kitchen with a sink, fresh and waste water tanks, an automatic tap, and storage space for cooking equipment. A compressor coolbox also comes as standard, as does a single-burner gas-powered stove.

To keep the interior warm, it is completely insulated with felt and equipped with a Webasto auxiliary heater. Blackout curtains can help you sleep in, if you had one too many while sitting around the campfire. LED lamps in the living space help bathe the interior in warm light.
The Alpincamper Vivaro 2, meanwhile, is designed for solo or couple-campers. The major difference here is that the pop-up tent does not come with a sleeping surface. Instead, it is only intended to offer more headroom. It also gets a two-burner stove with electric ignition, an integrated sink, and a folding table.
Both versions come with an air conditioning system, an extra camping battery, and digital radio, as well as driver assistance systems like hill descent control and rear park pilot to help make the camping experience easier.
Additionally, the conversions specialists are offering optional accessories, such as a cassette awning, a multirail to attach a sun sail to, and solar panels. It can even be optioned with off-road tires to go with its extra inch (25 mm) of ground clearance for the more adventurous camper.
Opel has not revealed how much the conversion costs, but those who interested can reach out to Alpincamper for a quote.
