VW ID Buzz on a budget Campervan!

Want to see what a £2,000 budget could get you? take a look and read on...

Big shout out goes to Octopus Energy for salary sacrifice EVs, cracking charging tariffs, top notch customer service and innovative thinking for the future of our energy landscape! They have transported us into 'Buzz' life!

Have you thought of an electric Campervan life? Is it possible?... yes!! We have been planning our ID Buzz Camper solution over the past year, and we have finally been able to enjoy it since Easter 2025 - yay! We have a company lease VW ID Buzz SWB with a factory fitted 3 pin plug socket that has made so much possible for us. Take a look to find out more!

We have made a video to show you that you can use a standard ID Buzz off the factory line (SWB in our case) as a really comfortable and functional camper. It has taken quite a bit of creativity, trial and error and the great contributions of our suppliers to make this a success.

For £2,000 we have managed to create the core of what you see in this video... a fully working kitchen, bench seating\storage - slide to bed, bedding cushions and curtains, bespoke outdoor table and windscreen cover.
