LIVING THE HIGH LIFE

This is to camper vans what glamping is to life under canvas

- 

Sleeping under the stars sounds romantic until you have to deal with the weather. As much as we love camping, a campervan is far more appealing, not least for the solid roof above our heads. And haivng heating.

The Marco Polo is based on the Mercedes Vito or V-Class van and has been made by Westfalia since the 1990s. Today, Westfalia is part of the Mercedes-Benz group, and the latest Marco Polo sits as a standard model option. The current 2025 model starts at £89,330 and is a no-holds-barred luxury camper that turns any campsite into an exclusive retreat. We took the latest model away for a weekend to see exactly how it holds up in the wild.

Outside, the Marco Polo looks much like any other V-Class, only given away by the popup roof tent on top and the awning.
