The combination of the Aiways U5 SUV and the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 from Campwerk offers electrifying adventures and unlimited freedom. The all-electric micro camper combination not only enables independence close to nature, which is becoming increasingly popular under the term "vanlife", but also sustainable camping. Freedom, deceleration and adventure. Camping has many charms. And that doesn't mean the conservative alcove or the weatherproof parked long-term camper caravan. Anyone who follows the hashtag #Vanlife on platforms such as Instagram or Pinterest will find millions of stories, tours and do-it-yourself instructions on how to build their own micro camper. In addition to independence, it is also the increased awareness of sustainability that fuels the popularity of camping even further. The all-electric Aiways U5 SUV (combined power consumption 17,0-16,6; CO₂-Emissions combined 0g/km; Range combined (WLTP) 400-410km) in connection with the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 from Campwerk is therefore the ideal combination for natural and emission-free breaks from everyday life.

Absolute growth market: new registrations of campers more than tripled

The number of new motorhome and campervan registrations in Europe more than doubled between 2013 and 2020. In some countries, the numbers have almost quadrupled and there is no end in sight to the trend. Because opinion polls clearly show that “staying overnight in different places”, “vacating without a plan” and “being able to explore other countries in a short time” are more popular than ever. “The camping industry is an absolute growth market and the past two years have shown that having your own four walls on your own four wheels is the perfect holiday opportunity for many. With the combination of our Aiways U5 SUV and the iKamper Skypcamp roof tent, we want to show what sustainable micro-camping can look like," explains Aiways Managing Director Dr. Alexander Klose.

iKamper Skycamp 3.0 from Campwerk: Maximum mobility with the least possible expenditure of time and money

“A mobile home or caravan costs a lot. Camping on the campsite is usually cumbersome and without any comfort. And hotels and club facilities just don't give you the freedom to stay where you want," explains Michael Krämer, Managing Director of Campwerk, the intention behind the brand, which has been an integral part of the world of camping since 2010. With the latest generation of roof tents, their iKamper Skycamp 3.0, they have not only provided even more space - the large version has space for up to four people - but also incorporated many other improvements in detail and comfort without the good aerodynamics of the extreme affect the flat fiberglass hard-shell cover.

Streamlined cross-country skier: Aerodynamic roof tent makes Aiways U5 SUV an efficient micro camper

With its static roof load of 400kg, the Aiways U5 SUV is the perfect partner for the iKamper Skycamp. Thanks to the innovative attachment to the roof crossbars, the roof tent is not subject to any speed restrictions and, thanks to its streamlined shape, scores with good efficiency. The internal tests and simulations in testing were followed by real endurance tests, which allowed the all-electric camping combination to travel 1000 kilometers a day. With an additional consumption of around 20% depending on the selected travel speed on these long-distance tests, long stages between the charging stops are still possible. Thanks to its fast charging capability from 30 percent to 80 percent in just 27 minutes, the Aiways U5 SUV keeps the travel time pleasantly short, even with the roof tent installed.

Room for spontaneity: Generous space and a trailer hitch ensure unlimited flexibility

With a loading volume of up to 1.555l with the rear seat folded down and the completely flat loading floor, the Aiways U5 SUV offers ideal conditions for use as a micro camper. Whether as storage space for outdoor utensils, or even as an additional place to sleep: the possibilities are almost limitless and offer space for all spontaneity. “Our Aiways U5 SUV has everything you need for a spontaneous camping trip: Practical variability in the interior and a generous amount of space for additional storage space. Thanks to our retrofit trailer hitch, which is now available in many European countries, we are not only increasing our flexibility in everyday camping," says Dr. Alexander Klose enthusiastic about the wide range of uses of the Aiways U5 SUV.

Thanks to a trailer load of up to 1.500 kg with the now available retrofit trailer hitch, the Aiways U5 SUV can also hook up larger trailers, which provide even more freedom on vacation. And if you want to explore the destination on two wheels, the high vertical load of 100kg offers the option of transporting up to three e-bikes.

Independence close to nature: Aiways U5 SUV enables sustainable camping

The all-electric Aiways U5 SUV combines its well-known talents such as spaciousness, range and fast-charging capability with the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 to create a sustainable micro camper that opens up a completely new dimension of natural and emission-free camping and enables electrifying adventures.
