"VanPod" by KEVMAR
The name "VanPod" encapsulates a concept that combines functionality, mobility, and compact living. It suggests a self-contained unit integrating essential camping amenities into one portable system optimized for fitting inside panel vans or people carriers.
Key Features:
1. Compact and Modular Design: The VanPod is a single, sturdy wooden unit with a kitchen, sleeping area, and storage space. Despite its tiny footprint, it's designed to provide maximum utility and comfort.
2. All-in-One Functionality:
Kitchen: The kitchen includes a portable sink, gas stove, and an optional small fridge, with ample space for storing utensils, cookware, and food.
- Sleeping Area: A pull-out or foldable full-size bed with storage compartments underneath for bedding and clothes.
- Storage Solutions: Drawers, shelves, and compartments designed for easy access to all camping essentials.
3. Ease of Installation: The VanPod is designed to slide effortlessly in and out of the vehicle. It can be secured for travel and easily removed, stored, or prepared outside the car.
4. Portability: The VanPod can be placed on a trolley and wheeled around outside the vehicle.
5. Versatile Fit: The VanPod is customizable to fit most panel vans or people carriers, allowing easy integration into different vehicle models.
For Adventurers Seeking Convenience: The VanPod should appeal to those who want the freedom to travel and camp without the hassle of towing a caravan or setting up tents.
Space-Saving Solutions: Marketed as a practical choice for maximizing the interior space of vehicles, turning them into full-fledged camper vans without permanent modifications.
Quality and Durability: Built with high-quality materials that are built to withstand outdoor conditions and last for many trips.
Visual and Marketing Appeal: VanPod is the ultimate travel companion for spontaneous road trips, offering the comfort and convenience of home while staying mobile. The name implies a compact, futuristic, and integrated solution like a "pod" designed for efficient living.
This concept stands out by blending convenience, portability, and versatility in a single, thoughtfully engineered unit.
Our prototype is available for viewing and discussion at our factory in Benoni. Pricing has not been finalized yet.
Thank you to my son Kenneth for his hard work preparing this prototype.
"VanPod was developed to fit most panel vans or people carriers. With this in mind, we need to share that there are 3 main considerations. Rear door opening space, measurement between wheel arches and then measurement above the wheel arches. The length is also very important. Lastly, it is key to understand the seats in a people carrier. If they can be removed great but should you wish to keep the front row of seats, we need to understand the height when folded down. “VanPod” stands 435mm tall which in some cases is lower than a folded seat.
