Why this combo is perfect for last-minute adventures
The Vanpackers conversion kit transforms your car into a practical and cozy space for the night. Depending on the kit you choose, you can enjoy:
- A real bed: A double mattress perfectly adapted to your vehicle for restorative sleep.
- A built-in kitchen: Everything you need to prepare your meals, from coffee at sunrise to dinner under the stars.
- Plenty of storage: Keep all your gear neatly organized so you can focus on the adventure, not the mess.
This flexibility makes it perfect for testing out vanlife before committing, escaping into nature, or simply leaving the city without stress. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, you’ll have all the essentials for an unforgettable weekend.
3 ideas for an improvised weekend with Communauto + Vanpackers kit
1. Sleep by a lakeside in Montérégie
Less than 90 minutes from Montréal, you can set up by the water, enjoy the sunset, fall asleep to the sound of frogs, and wake up to the gentle morning light. Add a hot coffee and a quick dip, and you’ve got the perfect start to your day.
2. Hiking in Mont-Orford National Park
Drive to Mont-Orford for a weekend of outdoor activities. After a day on the trails, prepare a meal in your built-in kitchen, enjoy the peace of the park, and sleep comfortably in your car, ready for another day of hiking.
3. Drive along the St. Lawrence River
Take Route 138 toward Québec City and stop whenever a scenic spot catches your eye. Set up your sleeping space, cook a simple dinner, add a few string lights for ambiance, and enjoy the tranquility before another day on the road.
