In the ideal world scenario, we are still awaiting a hybrid camper that allows us to drive it for everyday chores and also take it for an escape into the countryside without worrying about returning before the heart is contented with nature and tranquillity. Scottish conversion specialist Campervan Co. has conjured up something along the lines of the delightful conversion of the Toyota Estima Hybrid.
The ride called the Eco Escape is a hybrid camper van that’s apt for everyday city usage, is compliant with Euro emissions standards, affordable to own, and eventually a home away from home. The converter has given the hybrid family car a living space that is modular enough to accommodate some gear, has a pop-up roof to increase sleeping space, is outfitted with a necessary kitchen, and has a battery backup for living uninterrupted for a long time. All this while inherently being an all-wheel drive, five-seat van for city driving and daily commuting.

The five-seat Eco Escape camper van has been designed to sleep four people in its customized interior where the cockpit seats swivel and the three-seat bench on the back is completely adjustable to become a full-width bed or a cozy dining area. It is designed to be a full camper yet without the need for the user to rearrange much or remove anything from the Estima to take it on city roads to drive to work, take children to school, or go shopping with family.
In the base model, the Eco Escape sleeps two on the main floor, while the company gives you the option to customize it with an add-on pop-up sleeper roof. This is TentBox Lite XL roof tent comprising a double mattress, you can access using a telescopic ladder. It can also be customized with a handful of other add-ons including a portable toilet, solar panels, bike racks, and more.
Besides the optional fittings, the camper van comes ready with a rare kitchen pod complete with a small sink with a folding faucet, induction cooktop, compressor fridge box, a few storage compartments and an integrated water tank. Campervan Co is currently retailing the base model of the Eco Escape built on a 2006 model of the Toyota Estima Hybrid for as little as £19,995.
