2024 Volkswagen Transporter CamperKing St Tropez SWB – 4 Berth Campervan

Small enough for the daily commute. Clever enough for the big escape.

Some campervans are built for touring. Some are built for weekends. And then there are campervans like this 2024 Volkswagen Transporter CamperKing St Tropez, which seem to have been designed specifically for people who look at a Friday afternoon and think…

“Right. Where are we going?”

With just 5,620 miles, this superb short-wheelbase St Tropez combines the unmistakable appeal of a Volkswagen Transporter with CamperKing’s beautifully thought-out campervan conversion.

It’s compact, stylish, remarkably versatile and, at just 4.90 metres long, considerably easier to drive and park than many larger motorhomes.

And yet, open the door and you’ll discover a genuine 4-berth campervan with a proper kitchen, pop-top roof, clever sleeping arrangements and enough equipment to make escaping for a few days remarkably easy.

The Volkswagen Transporter bit

At its heart is a 2024 Volkswagen Transporter, powered by the proven 1,968cc diesel engine producing 110bhp and paired with a manual gearbox.

It’s a combination that makes plenty of sense for a campervan that may spend Monday to Friday being used as everyday transport before becoming your weekend escape machine.

There’s air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, electric windows and mirrors, multifunction steering wheel, DAB radio with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus rear parking sensors and Park Pilot.

In other words, it doesn’t feel like you’ve bought a campervan that merely happens to be drivable.

It feels like you’ve bought a very good Volkswagen that just happens to have a rather exciting second life waiting inside it.

Then CamperKing works its magic…

The St Tropez is one of CamperKing’s most popular layouts for good reason.

It’s a cleverly designed 4-berth, 4-seat campervan that makes excellent use of the available space without making you feel like you’ve been folded into a box.

The gloss black pop-top roof adds valuable headroom and transforms the interior when you’re parked up, while the upgraded CamperKing rear bed with ISOFIX and Titan bed frame gives you a practical sleeping solution for four.

So whether you’re travelling as a couple who like a little extra space or taking the family away, this St Tropez has the flexibility to adapt.

And yes, the children can come too.

They’ll probably still ask, “Are we there yet?” — but at least they’ll have somewhere comfortable to sleep when you arrive.

A kitchen that means you can actually cook

CamperKing hasn’t treated the kitchen as an afterthought.

There’s a two-burner gas hob with glass lid, combined sink and double hob unit, compressor fridge, mains electric and habitation USB sockets.

That means breakfast doesn’t have to mean cereal eaten from a packet.

You can make proper meals, keep the drinks cold and enjoy that wonderfully satisfying campervan ritual of cooking dinner while watching the world outside.

And when the weather is behaving itself, you can simply open the doors, make a brew and let the scenery do the rest.

Comfortable by day. Cosy by night.

The interior has been finished with Slate Grey Gloss cupboard furniture, a Hardened Grey floor and a black worktop, giving the St Tropez a contemporary and understated appearance.

The single swivel passenger seat helps make better use of the living space when you’re parked up, while the 12V LED low-energy lighting creates a warm and practical interior once the sun goes down.

There’s also a wireless charging pad, because apparently modern adventures still require a fully charged phone.

The pop-top changes everything

One of the defining features of the St Tropez is its gloss black pop-top roof.

When you’re driving, everything stays neat and compact.

Once you’re parked, raise the roof and suddenly the interior feels dramatically more spacious.

It’s a simple idea, but a very clever one — and it’s one of the reasons the St Tropez manages to offer genuine campervan accommodation while remaining so easy to live with on the road.

The result is a campervan that can take you from town centre to campsite, beach car park to mountain pass without demanding the road space of a much larger motorhome.

And look at those wheels…

This particular St Tropez has been finished with 20-inch Velare alloy wheels, a gloss black roof and a gloss black front splitter.

It’s certainly not shy.

The result is a sharp, sporty-looking Transporter that manages to look equally at home outside a boutique hotel or parked beside a windswept beach.

There is also a Vamoose rail, adding further practicality to the exterior setup.

Why this St Tropez makes so much sense

This is the beauty of the CamperKing concept.

You don’t necessarily need to plan a two-week European expedition to justify owning it.

Use it for weekend breaks in Wales, a few nights on the coast, festivals, cycling trips, family adventures, spontaneous escapes or simply those occasions when you want to wake up somewhere considerably more interesting than home.

The St Tropez is small enough to remain usable, but clever enough to provide genuine campervan accommodation.

And with only 5,620 miles, this particular example has plenty of adventures left to give.
