The Trekker. Campervan furniture kit for compact long-wheelbase vans (L2)

From €999

A full-width bed for wall-to-wall sleeping. The Trekker is the Simple Vans campervan furniture kit for compact long wheelbase vans: a sliding bed equipped with the Slide Kitchen, an outdoor cooking station that extends out of the back doors. It fits vans like the Citroën Berlingo XL, Peugeot Partner Long, VW Caddy Maxi and Renault Kangoo L2.

What’s in the Trekker kit?

Big bed. Open floor. Kitchen out the back.

Sleep in. Stretch out. No side cabinet, so you get the biggest bed in the range for a compact van. You also get the most open floor by day, and breakfast on the go at the back doors.

The Trekker in a Berlingo XL: bench and open floor
  • Sofa by day. Big bed by night. Slide Standard sets up as one long, straight bench or an L-shape, and pulls out into a bed in about 30 seconds: 187 x 130 cm with the included extension, or 180 cm long without it.
  • Breakfast at the back doors. The Slide Kitchen is an outdoor workstation that extends 110 cm out of the back doors, with room for food, utensils and a stove, then stows under the bed for the drive.
  • The most open floor. With no side cabinet, there’s more free space in bench mode than in any other compact L2 kit.
  • Room for a bike. Sleeping solo? Leave the bed pushed in and there’s space beside it for a bike or a long board.
  • Room underneath for the big stuff. Open storage under the bed, reached from the side and the back doors, with room for a battery up to 26 cm high.
  • Space along the wall. There’s room for kit along the van wall, narrowing towards the back. To reach it, you can fit the side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section (it may need a small cut to fit your van’s profile).
  • Finish it your way. Delivered raw, to oil, varnish, paint or leave natural.

Which Trekker fits my van?

Built for your compact L2 van.

The Trekker comes in one Adaptable version that fits every compact L2 van on the list below. With no side cabinet, there’s very little to cut: the Slide bed goes in with no cuts at all in the Berlingo XL, Partner Long and Caddy Maxi, and in the Kangoo L2 one bed panel needs a short cut along a scribed line. The side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section, may need a small cut too.

Frequently asked questions

Compact L2 vans like the Citroën Berlingo XL, Peugeot Partner Long, VW Caddy Maxi, Renault Kangoo L2 and Mercedes Citan Long. There’s one Adaptable version for all of them. Not sure? Check the Van Selector before you order.

No. The Trekker mattress is sold separately and is cut to fit the bed: 187 x 130 cm. Choose it on the Trekker product page. Simple Vans mattresses come in one colour, heather grey.

Both fit the same compact L2 vans and give you a bed up to 187 cm long. The Trekker leaves out the side cabinet for the most open floor and a wider, 130 cm bed, and comes with the Slide Kitchen, an outdoor cooking station that extends out of the back doors. The Weekender XL gives you a fixed bench, a 110 cm wide bed and a side cabinet: more storage, a place for everything.

No. The Slide Kitchen has room for a camping stove (not included).

In most vans, no. The Slide bed goes in with no cuts in the Berlingo XL, Partner Long and Caddy Maxi. In the Kangoo L2, one bed panel needs a short cut with a jigsaw, along a scribed line. If you fit the side panel supplied with the bed, along the front bed section, it may need a small cut too. In vans not on our list, you may need to mark and cut a panel yourself. Please note: furniture that has been cut is no longer eligible for our Satisfied or Refunded guarantee.
