Your VANTourer adapts to your needs and creates space for everything you need on the go.

40 % more rear storage space – Where does the space come from?
In the past, gas bottles and water tanks took up a lot of valuable storage space in the rear, which often limited the amount of bulky items that could be carried. The large side storage boxes at the rear also protruded far into the loading area and significantly reduced the usable loading space. This meant less space for bicycles, luggage and much more.
Was everything better in the past? Not at all! Gas cylinders and water tanks took up so much space that it was almost impossible to transport bulky items.
The large side storage boxes at the rear protruded far into the loading area, leaving little space for loading. What a waste of space!
But the VANTourer has the solution: the fresh water tank is now located under the vehicle. Thanks to the compact Truma diesel central heating system, instead of the heavy 11 kg gas bottle, only a small gas bottle (Campingaz type R 907 2.75 kg) is carried, which is used exclusively for cooking.
This has made the rear storage compartments significantly narrower, increasing the rear loading area by up to 40% depending on the layout. Even bicycles now fit crosswise in the VANTourer – more storage space, more freedom.
Underfloor fresh water tank – more storage space and greater driving stability
The innovative underfloor fresh water tank in the VANTourer is a real space saver: with a generous capacity of 100 litres, it is located under the vehicle to save space, creating valuable additional storage space in the interior.
But that's not all – moving the water tank downwards also significantly improves the driving stability of the already agile VANTourer. The lower position of the tank ensures a lower centre of gravity and smoother handling, especially when cornering and on varied terrain.
Thanks to special insulation, the tank is optimally protected against cold and environmental influences, ensuring that your water supply functions reliably even at low temperatures. This means you are well equipped for adventures in any season – whether summer holidays or winter camping.
The low centre of gravity of the water tank ensures greater driving stability.

The heating system that creates storage space: Truma Combi D 6 diesel heating
More space. More comfort. More freedom. The Truma Combi D 6 diesel heating not only saves storage space, it also keeps your feet warm – and, above all, guarantees independence on the road. Instead of heavy 11 kg gas bottles, you simply fill up with diesel – flexibly at any petrol station, without having to lug bottles around or exchange them. The particularly quiet heating is installed centrally under the bench seat in the living area – exactly where heat is needed. It distributes the heat efficiently and precisely via warm air vents in the living area, sleeping area and rear area. This allows you to enjoy maximum self-sufficiency and cosy warmth – whether travelling or in everyday life.
The Truma Combi D 6 diesel central heating system installed in the VANTourer panel van ensures efficient heat distribution, saves valuable storage space and guarantees maximum independence and comfort on the road.
Diesel heating 2.0: More warmth, less noise, maximum efficiency
Thanks to the boost function, the Truma Combi D 6 now brings the interior to a comfortable temperature even faster on cold days. Optimised night mode ensures peaceful nights with reduced power supply to the fuel pump, finely graded burner output and reduced speed of the combustion air fan – this makes the heater particularly quiet and also reduces coking.
It also conserves the on-board battery – thanks to temperature-controlled preheating, an energy-saving diesel pump and the elimination of a separate extraction fan.
Smart rear storage concept – More space, more protection, more flexibility
Discover the smart rear storage concept of the VANTourer, which offers you flexible and secure solutions for transporting bicycles, luggage and bulky everyday items. Whether protected from the weather and theft or with clever bed adjustment for more space, the rear area becomes a versatile space miracle for your van life and everyday life.
Bicycles on the rear rack are exposed to wind, weather and dirt and are at risk of theft. The VANTourer provides a solution: up to four bicycles can be stored safely and securely in the spacious rear storage compartment – dry, clean and always within reach.
With the fixed bed models, you can create additional storage space with a simple hand movement: the bed section can be folded up, providing valuable space underneath for bicycles, moving boxes or other bulky items.
The large rear storage space also offers plenty of room for moving boxes or other bulky everyday items – the VANTourer is a true all-rounder.
Or you can use the raised bed section to transform the bed into a comfortable lounge – this works from both sides, of course.
The VANTourer layouts
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about VANTourer panel vans – philosophy, storage space and more
The VANTourer offers around 40% more rear storage space than comparable panel vans. We achieve this through a special space concept that makes optimum use of the load compartment. The main reasons for this are the underfloor fresh water tank, which is integrated into the vehicle floor to save space, and the compact Truma diesel central heating system, which means that only a small gas bottle (Campingaz type R 907 2.75 kg) is required – exclusively for cooking. This leaves significantly more free storage space in the rear for your luggage.
In the VANTourer, the gas bottle compartment is designed for the Campingaz type R 907 gas bottle with a 2.75 kg gas filling. This bottle is guaranteed to fit and is easy to exchange or purchase throughout Europe.
Kann ich auch andere Gasflaschen verwenden?
Other small gas cylinders – such as standard 3 kg steel cylinders – may also fit, but this cannot be guaranteed. Please check the dimensions of your gas cylinder individually before using it in the VANTourer.
No, a gas cylinder is not included in the standard equipment. However, it can be purchased separately from many camping retailers or DIY stores.
The spacious rear storage area of the VANTourer offers you significantly more space for bulky and extensive equipment. Whether mountain bikes, camping furniture, sports equipment, moving house or large shopping trips – you can store everything safely and conveniently without having to compromise on living space.
Especially on longer trips or when travelling with the family, the additional storage space ensures greater organisation and makes planning easier. You are also well equipped for spontaneous activities or last-minute trips, as you can flexibly take more with you. This means less stress, more freedom and a more enjoyable travel experience.
The VANTourer creates more rear storage space through several innovative technical solutions and an optimised vehicle design.
Firstly, the fresh water tank is installed under the vehicle floor, freeing up valuable storage space in the interior. Secondly, the compact Truma diesel central heating system provides warmth without taking up much space in the interior. This means that only a small gas cylinder (Campingaz type R 907 2.75 kg) is required, which is used exclusively for cooking and takes up less storage space.
In addition, the bed system is designed to be variable: the bed sections can be folded up at both the rear and front using a snap-lock hinge, which facilitates access to the rear storage space and creates additional space when required. All fixtures are deliberately slim and space-saving in design so that no unnecessary space is lost.
This combination of intelligent technology, clever room layout and high-quality workmanship makes it possible to create up to 40% more storage space in the rear without compromising on living comfort.
The VANTourer is ideal for anyone who values the highest quality, well-thought-out flexibility and maximised storage space. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family or outdoor enthusiasts, the VANTourer adapts to your individual needs.
Its compact design makes it particularly manoeuvrable and suitable for everyday use, while at the same time offering generous storage space and comfortable living areas that make even longer journeys enjoyable. Thanks to its variable room concepts and clever storage system, it is ideal for people who want to travel spontaneously and flexibly without compromising on comfort.
Families and active holidaymakers in particular benefit from the combination of storage space, sleeping accommodation and technical equipment. Thanks to its efficient diesel central heating and modern technology, the VANTourer is ready for use all year round.
