The Weekender Deluxe – Small Van, Big Adventure

If the standard Weekender lets you escape for a night or two, the Weekender Deluxe turns your little van into a fully capable micro-camper that can take you away for days – or weeks. Designed for L1 vans like the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, VW Caddy, and Renault Kangoo, this upgraded setup adds smarter storage, a genuine outdoor kitchen, and a surprising amount of comfort packed into a compact footprint. It’s everything you love about the original Weekender – but with the extras that make life on the road feel effortless.

You still get the brilliant B4 Compact Sliding Bed, which shifts from a comfortable L-shaped sofa to a 161.5 × 112 cm sleeping platform in seconds. Stretched corner-to-corner, it reaches 197 cm, giving you plenty of room whether you’re a solo traveller or sharing the space with someone who doesn’t mind spooning. For models with a longer rear bay area, an extension section is included with every kit to increase the bed’s length to 168.5 cm. Built from lightweight, strong poplar plywood, it’s sturdy, breathable, and designed to make the most of small-van proportions.

Under the bed, the integrated 20L cooler compartment keeps your food and drinks accessible from both the top and the front – ideal for grabbing cold drinks without unpacking the van.

The A1 Slimline Side Cabinet remains the backbone of your interior storage. With 160 litres of clever, easy-access compartments, it keeps your essentials organised and reachable even when the bed is fully deployed. Simple, practical, and perfect for everyday micro-van living.

But the Deluxe kit really earns its name with two clever upgrades:

1.The D8 Outdoor Kitchen Drawer – a game-changer for van cooking

Pull out the rear doors and slide the drawer – and you get 110 cm of telescoping workspace. Space for a portable stove, room for prepping meals, and a stable platform for cooking outside. Whether you’re frying eggs at sunrise or making pasta under the stars, this drawer turns the back of your van into a tiny outdoor kitchen that feels far bigger than it is.

2. The D0 Overhead Shelf – surprisingly useful, endlessly handy

Mounted above the bed or rear section, this lightweight poplar shelf adds an extra 15 litres of storage for small items like books, chargers, jackets, or toiletries. It keeps clutter out of your living space and puts everyday essentials right where you need them.

Like every Simple Tiny kit, the Weekender Deluxe is built from lightweight, modular PEFC-certified poplar plywood, supplied in raw wood so you can oil, varnish, or paint it in your own style. Assembly is simple and satisfying – basic tools, no fuss.

If you want to keep things compact but still enjoy proper cooking, real storage, and a comfortable bed in your L1 van, the Weekender Deluxe is the perfect step up. It’s still small enough to stay nimble – but capable enough to turn a weekend road trip into a full-blown adventure.
