Sunlight VANLIFE

A modern camper van for spontaneous holidays

The Sunlight VANLIFE 540 V is the most modern and lifestyle-oriented camper van in the Sunlight range. Unlike the classic CLIFF models, the VANLIFE deliberately focuses on a single, particularly well-thought-out concept: maximum flexibility in a compact space. Measuring just 5.41 m in length, the VANLIFE combines an urban driving experience with fully-fledged camping functionality and is aimed at anyone who likes to travel spontaneously, enjoy an active lifestyle on the road and use their campervan hassle-free in everyday life. The VANLIFE is based on the tried-and-tested Citroën Jumper with a 2.2-litre engine producing 140 PS (103 kW). Despite its compact exterior dimensions, the 540 V offers a surprisingly open and airy feel with a pop-up roof, cleverly integrated storage solutions and a modern living space in a typical adventure style.

Come and discover the Sunlight VANLIFE in person at Niesmann Caravaning in Polch and get advice from our brand experts. Together, we’ll find exactly the right model to set you off on your next adventure.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about Sunlight’s VANLIFE

The Sunlight VANLIFE is aimed primarily at people looking for a particularly compact, flexible and modern camper van that is suitable not only for travelling but also for everyday use. With a length of just 5.41 m, the VANLIFE is significantly more manoeuvrable than many traditional campervans and is therefore ideal for spontaneous weekend breaks, city breaks or active road trips with frequently changing destinations. Compared to the classic CLIFF models, the VANLIFE is more lifestyle-oriented and deliberately designed with a minimalist approach. It is particularly suited to people who want to make active use of their camper van – for example, for short trips, sports and outdoor adventures or spontaneous travel – and are looking for a vehicle that is easy to drive, park and integrate into everyday life.

A standard Class B car driving licence is perfectly adequate for the Sunlight VANLIFE 540 V. The vehicle is designed for a technically permissible maximum mass of 3,500 kg and can therefore be driven just like a standard car or campervan. This makes the VANLIFE particularly well-suited to beginners and anyone looking for a straightforward way to get started in the world of campervan travel.

Yes, you can generally view the Sunlight VANLIFE 540 V at Niesmann Caravaning in Polch – the latest Sunlight camper vans are regularly on display there, so you can view and compare the VANLIFE in person.

A test drive is also possible, but only by prior appointment and with sufficient notice. This ensures that the vehicle you want is prepared and reserved for you.

For the 2026 model year, entry-level prices for the VANLIFE start at around €58,999. Depending on the specification and optional packages, the price may increase accordingly, but remains within a clearly defined, competitively priced segment.

The Sunlight VANLIFE models are designed from the factory as compact, modern lifestyle campervans, yet still offer a number of practical options for equipment and customisation without the concept becoming overly complex. Overall, the VANLIFE remains a deliberately well-structured concept vehicle, where customisation is achieved not through countless floor plans, but via targeted packages and equipment lines. The main difference compared to the CLIFF models lies in the fact that the VANLIFE is more strongly geared towards lifestyle, urban living and spontaneous travel – with the standard pop-up roof as its key highlight, making it unique within the Sunlight range. At Niesmann Caravaning, we can provide you with comprehensive advice on the Sunlight VANLIFE.
