Electric Volkswagen Bus culture revived through Peace Vans custom camper packages
Electric vehicles are on the rise, and Volkswagen is joining the trend with the 2025 ID.Buzz, bringing back the iconic Volkswagen Bus in a sleek electric form. However, while the new model replaces the classic Bus, the old Bus culture remains alive and well, thanks to Seattle-based shop Peace Vans. With over a decade of experience in Bus repair and restoration, Peace Vans has teamed up with the automaker to create customized camper packages for ID.Buzz owners.
### The Journey of Peace Vans: From Repair Shop to Custom Camper Expert
– Peace Vans, originally a VW repair shop, has evolved over the years to offer restoration and rentals services, becoming the largest Bus repair and restoration concern in the U.S.
– With the growing popularity of Mercedes vans as bug-out vehicles, Peace Vans has honed their skills in modern camper upfitting.
### The Buzz.Box: The Versatile Weekend Camper
– The Buzz.Box is designed for the “versatile weekend camper,” featuring a compact kitchen area with a slideout sink, stove, fridge, and storage space.
– Available for $7,995, the Buzz.Box is a convenient option for those looking for a simple camping setup.
### The Buzz.Box.Sleeper: Adding Comfort to Your Getaway
– The Buzz.Box.Sleeper takes camping comfort to the next level, with a “nearly queen-size” bed that folds down in the rear alongside the kitchen area.
– Priced at $10,995, the Buzz.Box.Sleeper offers a cozy sleeping space for your outdoor adventures.
### The Buzz.Camper: The Ultimate Camping Experience
– The Buzz.Camper is a full-fledged camping setup that prioritizes comfort, featuring a mini kitchen, lounge area, and outdoor workspace.
– Buyers can opt for Peace Vans to install the Buzz.Camper in Seattle or choose the Peace Vans Plus option to purchase a Buzz directly from the shop.
### The Future of Electric Camping: Pop-Up Camper in the Works
– Peace Vans is currently working on securing U.S. Department of Transportation approval for a pop-up camper, expected to be available in late 2025.
– The pop-up camper, dubbed the Magic Buzz, will offer a unique camping experience for VW enthusiasts.
With the order books now open, the first deliveries of the Buzz.Box and Buzz.Box.Sleeper are anticipated in November 2024, coinciding with the release of the ID.Buzz at U.S. dealers. Electric Volkswagen Bus enthusiasts can now enjoy the classic Bus culture with a modern twist, thanks to Peace Vans’ custom camper packages designed for the 2025 ID.Buzz.
