Westfalia is world-famous for its classic (and modern) Volkswagen camper vans, but the German manufacturer also builds some compelling camper vans for major automakers like Mercedes-Benz and Ford. It's now focusing some attention on Nissan, turning the NV300 van into the new Michelangelo, a versatile camper van with flexible seating that makes for easy switch-ups between multi-week camping excursions, daily passenger hauling and gear-heavy day trips.

Debuted at the CMT show that wrapped up on Sunday in Stuttgart, Germany, the Michelangelo strikes a design balance between modular camper vans/everyday drivers like the ModVans CV1 and full-time camper vans with permanently installed camping hardware. The rails in the Michelangelo's oak-look floor allow owners to mount up to four rear seats next to the permanent kitchen and wardrobe.

Because the rear seats are mounted individually, the owner can mix and match them to create just the right layout of seats and cargo space. For instance, in addition to a passenger-hauling six-seater, the Michelangelo can become a two-seater with empty cargo area, a four-seater with smaller cargo area, and a four-seater with two rear seats mounted on one side to clear space for long items like surfboards.

At camp, the front seats swivel around and the removable table secures to the kitchen unit to create a dining area. The stove lid flips up to reveal two burners and a separate lid swings back to uncover the sink. The kitchen block also has a 31-liter compressor fridge and storage for pots, pans and other cookware. The wardrobe behind the kitchen block stores clothes and other essentials.
