Peace Vans, a Seattle-based shop known for its expertise in Volkswagen Bus repair and restoration, has teamed up with Volkswagen to offer three conversion kits for the 2025 ID.Buzz. These kits are designed to cater to the needs of day-trippers and long-haulers alike, providing customized camper packages for ID.Buzz owners looking to embrace the old Bus culture in a modern electric form.
The journey to bring the modern Volkswagen Bus back to the U.S. in the form of the 2025 ID.Buzz has been a long and exciting one. Peace Vans, with its years of experience in VW Bus repair and restoration, has worked closely with Volkswagen to create camper packages tailored to the needs of ID.Buzz owners. The company, founded by an ex-Microsoft executive who bought a VW repair shop and expanded its services to include restoration and rentals, has become the largest Bus repair and restoration concern in the U.S. over the past 11 years.
With the rise of Mercedes vans as popular bug-out vehicles, Peace Vans has also gained expertise in upfitting modern cars, having completed over 1,000 Mercedes campers in six years. Now, with the introduction of the 2025 ID.Buzz, Peace Vans is offering three buildouts to meet the needs of different types of travelers. Whether you’re a weekend camper or a die-hard Deadhead looking for a real adventure, there’s a conversion kit for you.
Customized Conversion Kits
The first kit, the Buzz.Box, is designed for the versatile weekend camper. It features a compact kitchen with a sink, single-burner stove, cutting board areas, a Dometic 35-liter fridge, and storage space. The innovative slideout design allows for easy access to all the essentials, including a bin to hold the vehicle charging cord. The Buzz.Box starts at $7,995 and is perfect for those looking for a simple yet functional camping setup.
For those seeking a bit more comfort, the Buzz.Box.Sleeper kit adds a “nearly queen-size” bed to the rear area, transforming the space into a cozy sleeping area. Priced at $10,995, this kit is ideal for travelers who value a good night’s sleep while on the road.
The most comprehensive kit, the Buzz.Camper, offers a full camping experience with a mini kitchen, sink, stove, refrigerator, and a convertible rear lounge that doubles as a bed. The layout of the Buzz.Camper emphasizes comfort, with designated spaces for work, eating, relaxing, and sleeping. This kit is perfect for those looking to fully immerse themselves in the van life experience.
Installation and Availability
The Buzz.Box and Buzz.Box.Sleeper kits can be ordered from Peace Vans and installed locally in just one day. For those interested in the Buzz.Camper, Peace Vans offers an installation service that takes up to three weeks, or customers can purchase a pre-converted ID.Buzz directly from the company through the Peace Vans Plus option.
Order books are now open for all three conversion kits, with the first deliveries of the Buzz.Box and Buzz.Box.Sleeper expected in November 2024. The ID.Buzz is set to arrive at U.S. dealers around the same time, offering customers the opportunity to customize their ride with Peace Vans’ conversion kits.
Looking ahead, Peace Vans is working on obtaining U.S. Department of Transportation approval for a pop-up camper option, expected to be available in late 2025. This exciting development will provide ID.Buzz owners with even more options for customizing their vehicles to suit their unique travel needs.
Conclusion
