Bürstner Papillon – More camper van for less money

Compact camper van with everything you need

With the new Bürstner Papillon, mobile travel is easy—and surprisingly affordable. With a compelling price-performance ratio, it offers exactly what camping beginners really need: a comfortable queen-size bed, a full bathroom with shower and folding sink, an electric induction hob for varied meals, and reliable diesel heating for cozy warmth – even far away from the campsite.

True to the motto “Reduce to the Van,” the Papillon deliberately dispenses with the superfluous and concentrates on the essentials: compact, functional, and cleverly designed. At the same time, it remains individually configurable, from the choice of toilet to the optional pop-up roof for more sleeping space.

The Bürstner Papillon 2026 sets new standards for compact campervans that combine functionality, flexibility, and affordable comfort. At less than six meters in length, it offers a clever space concept that feels surprisingly spacious. A particular highlight is the multifunctional sleeping system: with a single movement, the bed becomes a sofa, providing optimal living space during the day and a comfortable place to sleep at night.

The compact kitchen is fully equipped and comes with an induction hob as standard, offering space for an optional gas stove and making spontaneous meals a pleasure.

The bathroom surprises with a spacious shower and a selectable toilet system that can be chosen between Porta Potti, dry separation toilet, or Clesana X1, depending on your needs. For longer trips, the standard diesel heating provides cozy warmth, while the choice between AGM or lithium-ion batteries allows for maximum independence. Based on the reliable Citroën Jumper chassis, the Papillon combines driving comfort, stability, and everyday practicality. With compact dimensions, a standing height of 190 cm, and plenty of storage space thanks to the fold-down bed, it is maneuverable, suitable for urban use, and ready for spontaneous adventures. The Bürstner Papillon is the ideal companion for travelers who want to experience freedom, comfort, and flexibility in a compact campervan – a vehicle that perfectly combines everyday life and adventure.
