Mercedes rolls out luxury ‘glamper’
When Mercedes-Benz and Westphalia team up, a glamper results. – AFP/Relaxnews pic, September 22, 2014.Called the Marco Polo, this compact camper van, designed with Westphalia, offers the feeling of an exclusive lounge, doubling up on the idyllic seclusion of a weekend in the wilderness.
But don't let its luxurious interior fool you, this glamper contains everything you need to survive for weeks far away from maddening urbanites, including a kitchenette, complete with two gas burners, a sink and refrigerator. Kitchenette appliances are covered in easy-clean, impact resistant glass to reduce chore time and protect your glamper from the consequences of roughing it.
The split backrest can turn into a single or double bed (2.03m by 1.13m) within seconds and at the touch of a button. An automatic inflation system detects the need for a sitting or sleeping position.
The glass-fibre reinforced pop-up roof features a luxury double bed made of a high quality foam mattress that means your body isn't roughing it even if you're out in the wild. When not in use, the rooftop bed can be stowed vertically, creating standing room in the interior.
Other features include a wardrobe with sliding doors at the rear section of the passenger compartment.
The Marco Polo was released in Germany this summer and is rolling out this month in other European countries. – AFP/Relaxnews, September 22, 2014.
