That didn’t take long. Just weeks after Harley-Davidson launched its blacked-out, stripped-back Deadwood, Indian Motorcycles has come out swinging with the Chief Vintage Sturgis, SD Edition.

Three seats, one single bed, a large L-shaped kitchen and a bathroom (or at least a toilet you can use inside) – that's an odd, mismatched set of specs for any camping vehicle. Nevertheless, it's the exact set that underpins the latest micro-RV from Wellhouse Leisure. The British conversion shop has unleashed some serious creative thinking in turning the Mitsubishi Delica D:2/Suzuki Solio into a functional solo tiny camper-cum-everyday city runabout. Needless to say, the result is very different from the Delica camper vans you might have seen previously.

If you’ve ever tried 3D-printing anything, you know just how flimsy the results can be. In fact, simply removing them from the build plate can make you sweat, since at any moment the beautiful statuette, replacement part for your refrigerator, or gift for someone special that took 10 hours to print can shatter into a pile of PLA garbage.

We weren't expecting Volkswagen to do anything too big for this year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, given that it launched an all-new California camper van (and sub brand) two years ago and tweaked several of its campers with minor updates over the past few months. But the 'people's RV maker' often surprises with its annual Caravan Salon slate. This year it's revealing multiple world-first concept vans that plumb uncharted waters in exploring the future of VW camper van life. It starts off with a California Beach concept that trades out hard camper components in favor of cabin full of inflatables.
