VanEssa is the culinary school of camping modules—equal parts discipline and delight. Their Caddy setups revolve around exquisitely finished, slide-out kitchens and bed platforms that deploy so calmly you’ll expect a soft string quartet to start playing. It’s the sort of kit that makes al fresco cooking civilised rather than chaotic.
In a Caddy, space is precious, and VanEssa treats it like jewellery. Drawers glide. Worktops appear where none existed. You’ve got cubbies and boxes sized just so, so cutlery isn’t trying to abandon ship at every roundabout. And because it’s modular, you can get your cargo van back when you’re not out chasing sunsets.
The bed solution is reassuringly sturdy, with materials chosen to survive both summer road trips and soggy shoulder-seasons. Even better, VanEssa gear tends to keep weight down to sensible levels, which means you’re not turning your Caddy into a sluggish mule. Less mass equals better handling, better braking, and saner fuel bills.
The company’s finish quality is right up there: clean edges, smart fabrics, and hardware that doesn’t rattle itself into early retirement. It’s grown-up kit for grown-up campers who enjoy their morning ritual of coffee and eggs without a Gordian knot of straps, poles, and swearing.
Who it’s for: Food-centric travelers and anyone who wants fast setup, fast pack-down, and the feeling of a well-appointed tiny kitchen in the back of a micro van.
Best bit: The slide-out kitchen modules—smooth, solid, and brilliantly usable.
Consider if: You prefer a fixed, full-time camper interior. This is modular by design.
