Well, well, well, look what the electric cat dragged in. The beloved VW bus has been back for a while now, this time with a battery pack and a futuristic name: the ID. Buzz. And just when you thought this electric reincarnation couldn't get any cooler, Peace Vans swoops in with a trio of camper conversions that'll turn this microbus into a micro-home.
Let's be honest, the ID. Buzz is already a bit of a looker. With its retro-futuristic design and spacious interior, it practically begs for road trip adventures. But sleeping on the floor and eating granola bars gets old fast. That's where Peace Vans comes in, offering three levels of "glamping" upgrades to suit your wanderlusting needs.
First up is the Buzz.Camper, the full-fledged camper conversion that transforms your ID. Buzz into a cozy mobile abode. We're talking a lounge area that magically morphs into a bed, storage cabinets that cleverly conceal a cooktop, sink, and water storage – basically, everything you need for a weekend getaway without sacrificing legroom. Just be warned, this option bids farewell to the rear seats, so it's strictly a party for two, at least for now. Peace Vans is working on a solution for those who need to bring the whole crew along.
Next in line is the Buzz.Box, a rear kitchen that'll make even the most amateur chef feel like a culinary whiz. This compact kitchen comes with a 35L fridge, integrated cooktop, water storage, sink, and enough prep space to whip up a gourmet feast. Plus, it extends out from the van, so you can enjoy the fresh air while cooking up a storm. Your own little outdoor kitchen, minus the pesky mosquitoes? I'm in!

And finally, for those who want the best of both worlds, there's the Buzz.Box.Sleeper. This option combines the culinary skills of the Buzz.Box version with a nearly queen-sized bed that unfolds from the second-row seats. It's the perfect compromise for couples who want to cook up a delicious meal and then snuggle up under the stars (if you're lucky enough to have the glass roof, that is).
So, how much will all that converting cost? The Buzz.Box will set you back $7,995, while the Buzz.Box.Sleeper comes in at $10,995. Both prices exclude shipping, taxes, and installation, so factor that into your budget. As for the Buzz.Camper, pricing is still under wraps, but expect it to be released in Q3 2024.
Peace Vans has also teased an iconic "pop top" feature that'll be available in late 2025. This means even more headroom and sleeping space for those who want to maximize their micro-living experience.
The VW ID. Buzz is no longer just a stylish electric van; it's a blank canvas for your next adventure. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a full-time nomad, Peace Vans has a camper conversion that'll turn this microbus into your home away from home. Just don't forget the marshmallows for those campfire s'mores.
