Sometimes, a camper van can truly steal your heart, and that’s the case with the Dreamer Cap Land. This fresh, compact camper van packs nearly everything you need into just 5.45 meters. It comfortably accommodates four people for both travel and sleeping. Let’s explore what makes this camper van so special.
The Dreamer Cap Land has caught the attention of others too. It was nominated for the title Motorhome of the Year 2025 for ANWB and NKC in the Netherlands, though the award ultimately went to VAN-Jorn.
The Dreamer Cap Land is built on the Ford Transit Custom, which comes standard with a 136 hp engine. Four-wheel drive and a hybrid engine are available as options. The van also includes various assist systems, parking aids, cruise control, and keyless entry. The sleek exterior features color-matched bumpers, and its double sliding doors, reminiscent of the new VW California, stand out.
The Dreamer Cap Land offers four sleeping spaces. The bench seat can easily convert into a bed by pressing a button to lower the backrest and adding extra cushions. This creates a bed measuring 1.24 x 1.93 meters, perfect for two adults to sleep closely together.
The second bed, located in the pop-up roof, measures 2.08 x 1.30 meters. Unlike most camper vans, the roof opens at the rear instead of near the front seats, creating additional standing space at the back.
Fitting everything into a 5.45-meter-long and 2.03-meter-wide camper van is no small feat, but the interior feels spacious thanks to the light colors and the rear-opening pop-up roof. The bench seat, which doubles as a bed at night, can seat two people. Together with the swivel cabin seats and a multi-part table, it forms a cozy dinette. There’s even a small seating area next to the kitchen, perfect for sitting down to remove your shoes when you enter.
The kitchen offers plenty of functionality with a gas stove, sink, and generous counter space. It also includes a cabinet with two drawers and a 51-liter compressor fridge.
The real surprise in the Dreamer Cap Land is at the back: a toilet and shower. The toilet is cleverly hidden under a flap on the driver’s side. A shower tray is built into the floor in the middle of the van. By removing the floor covering and setting up the shower curtain, you can freshen up inside the camper.
Is showering in the van practical and comfortable, or is it easier to use the campsite’s facilities? Would you feel at ease using the toilet while others are inside the van? Opinions may vary. However, one undeniable advantage of the Dreamer Cap Land is its independence from campsites or camper stops with sanitary facilities—something many campers will see as a major benefit.
