The Original Weekender’s Secret
The Amdro Boot Jump is a British camping classic: fold-out bed platform up top, drawers and kitchen below, and a knack for making small vehicles feel enormous at bedtime. In a VW Caddy, it transforms the van from “parcel specialist” to “shoreline sunrise specialist” with a snap and a shimmy.
The charm is in its duality. Close it up and you’ve still got a functioning boot; open it out and there’s a bed you can actually sleep on, not merely survive. The kitchen provision—stove storage, water, worktop—lives where it should, accessed from the rear, away from your bedding. It’s that simple arrangement that keeps mornings calm and evenings orderly.
Build quality is tried-and-true, with materials chosen to last a decade of British weather. It resists the usual rattles, and the drawers slide with a reassuring heft. Installation is mercifully quick, and removal won’t fracture your weekend plans.
Driving with the Amdro aboard doesn’t ruin the Caddy’s manners. Keep your packing reasonable and it feels almost stock: nimble, quiet enough, and willing. Park, pop, and put the kettle on—this is the essence of micro-camping.
Who it’s for: People who want the original, proven, no-sweat weekender layout with a real bed and a real brew area.
Best bit: The classic bed-over-kitchen format. It just… works.
Consider if: You want high-design flourishes or integrated heating. This is honest, modular functionality.
