Vanlife
Get in, drive off, see where it takes you: The vanlife movement has really picked up speed in recent years and has long since arrived at the ABF. The "Vanlife" theme world brings the boundless feeling of freedom directly into the exhibition hall! Whether artfully converted panel vans and new van models or modules and equipment for DIY conversions - every vanlife dream comes true here.

Program:
Vanlife-Camp
Twelve customised and self-built vans from different brands are presented at the Vanlife Camp. The vehicle doors are open and the ‘customisers’ are available for tips and tricks. This is where the community meets to talk shop and newcomers can find a wide range of expertise in all areas of customisation. Every van tells its own story!
Vanlife Stage
On the Vanlife stage, there will be daily presentations on various vanlife topics, such as DIY conversions. Experts such as the bus hobbyists will give tips and advice on what to consider when planning, converting vehicles or travelling. The programme includes topics such as ‘The perfect floor plan’, ‘Travelling safely’ and ‘Electric setups’.
There will also be tips on configuration and registration. Visitors can also look forward to various travel reports from the Vanlife community and get inspiration for their own travel plans.
