When Is the Best Time for an Economy Camper Trip?

  • Summer

    Jun–Aug

    Driving Conditions
    Long daylight, close to 24 hours in June. The Ring Road is mostly clear and dry.
    Why it fits this category
    Every economy model is available, the Campervan Go ECO included. Mild evenings make an unheated or plug-in-heated camper easy to live with.
  • Spring & Autumn

    Apr–May, Sep–Oct

    Driving Conditions
    Changeable weather and strong winds. Snow is possible in the north and east, and days get shorter.
    Why it fits this category
    Choose a Webasto model (Campervan Go Plus, Play VW, Fun). A small cabin warms up quickly, and darker skies from September bring Northern Lights chances.
  • Winter

    Nov–Mar

    Driving Conditions
    About 4–5 hours of daylight in December, plus ice, storms and occasional road closures.
    Why it fits this category
    Only for confident winter drivers in a Webasto-heated model. The Campervan Go ECO isn’t available, and the Campervan Play’s heater depends on the unit, so check when you book.

Economy Camper vs. Rooftop Tent vs. 4x4 Camper: Which Do You Need?

Economy Camper Rooftop Tent Car 4x4 Camper
Drive 2WD 4x4 4WD
F-roads & Highlands Not allowed Allowed (rules vary by model) Allowed (rules vary by model)
Where you sleep Inside the van In a tent on the roof Inside the camper
Heating Depends on the model None Heated sleeping area
Daily rate Lowest Low Higher
Best for Ring Road and main routes on a budget Highland trips on a budget Highland trips in comfort

Economy campers can’t go on F-roads or into the Highlands. If an F-road is on your list and the budget is tight, a rooftop tent car is the lower-cost way in.

What makes an economy camper more affordable?

Economy campers are compact and simply equipped, some models are a few years older, and a few items are add-ons. CDW insurance, unlimited mileage and VAT are still included.

Which economy campers are automatic?

The Campervan Go ECO (automatic), the Campervan Play Max + and the Campervan Play VW (automatic). All other economy campers are manual.

Are economy campers heated?

The Campervan Go Plus, Play VW and Fun have Webasto heaters that work anywhere. The Play Max and Play Max + heat only on campsite power, and the Go ECO has no heater.

Why does the Campervan Play’s heater vary?

The Campervan Play (manual) is offered in several compact van models, so the unit you get may have Webasto heating or plug-in heating. If you’re traveling outside summer, check the heating when you book.

What should I add when I book?

On the Campervan Go ECO and Go Plus, sleeping bags and a cooler are add-ons. A camping table and chairs are add-ons on the Campervan Play VW (manual) and Fun, and most camping gear is an add-on on the Play VW (automatic).
