Joy2Wander expands motorhome rental business in Romania

The Dacia Bigster SUV serves as the base for a compact camper project using modular solutions from Australian specialist ARB. The conversion includes a heavy-duty drawer system, a slide-out kitchen module, and a rigid roof-top tent, adding approximately 187 kg. The estimated cost for the package is 6400–7000 euros, keeping the total price of a fully equipped vehicle under 40,000 euros.

A concept for a compact motorhome based on the Dacia Bigster SUV has been presented. The kit, consisting of an ARB drawer system, slide-out kitchen, and roof-top tent, adds approximately 187 kg and costs 6,400–7,000 euros. With the base vehicle starting at around 26,000 euros, the total project budget is 33,000–35,000 euros, making it significantly cheaper than classic campers.

The ARB firm has introduced an Overland package to adapt the Dacia Bigster crossover for active outdoor use. The kit features a slide-out kitchen with a stove and sink, plus a roof-top tent with a mattress and lighting. Individual components start at 6,400 euros.

A project for motorhome manufacturing and conversion has been launched in Romania. The company Sfinx Camper & Conversion SRL will focus on building camper vans based on commercial vehicles.
