In order to add some adventurous appeal to the recently revealed Mercedes-Benz Citan, the German manufacturer has introduced a micro camper conversion as an official accessory for its adventurous clientele.
The official conversion will be fulfilled by a Swiss-based company by the name of Sortimo. The firm will turn the Mercedes-Benz Citan into a two-in-one solution with a kitchen and bed unit which will be installed in the rear. The kitchen unit uses a drawer system and features a sink system, two-ring removable gas cooker and a drawer for cooking utensils.
Optionally available is a cooler box which can also be integrated in the kitchen unit. The bed system is installed above the kitchen unit. In just a few moments, this can be folded out to create a bed with a surface area measuring 2 020 mm by 1 510 mms. When it is folded away, the rear seats can be used unimpeded. The multifunction box from Sortimo Switzerland is available in the colours black, grey and red and orange.
The roof tent from Sortimo is installed on the roof bars of the Mercedes-Benz Citan. It can be installed in just a few minutes and, with its 2 400 mm by 1 400 mm area, it claims to offer additional sleeping space for up to two adults. The tent is waterproof and features a canopy above its entrance. Two windows equipped with mosquito nets are provided to ensure air circulation and a view of the outdoors. Access to the roof tent is afforded by the aluminium ladder provided.
VanEssa has also stepped in to provide a conversion solution for the Mercedes-Benz Citan. This firm uses a drawer system and consists of an integrated gas cooker, sink system and an optional cooler box. There is also space provided for crockery, pots and pans as well as supplies. The kitchen module weighs around 60 kg and can be installed or removed in a matter of minutes. Various design options, including two wooden finishes, provide additional opportunities for personalisation.
With the VanEssa sleeping system, the rear of the Mercedes-Benz Citan can be transformed into a comfortable bed in just a few steps. The system carrier is lashed in place in the luggage compartment and allows a 1 890 mm by 1 150 mm bed surface to be unfolded. The bed system is available either individually or in combination with the kitchen system.
