Typically, they are equipped with a "pop-up" roof which is raised during camping and can sleep usually two adults, although most modern campervans have a fixed hightop roof. They have a very small kitchen with a small gas/electric Refrigerator and a two-three burner gas Hob and Grill . For lighting, they would have dual-voltage lighting which can work off either a separate battery to the car battery known as a 'leisure battery', which are equipped in almost all modern motorhomes, or off the AC power, which is supplied in most campsites via a hook-up cable. They are sometimes commonly known as Dormobile s or caravanettes in the UK, or as 'Kombis' in Australia and the rest of the world. This trend started in the 1950's after Volkswagen commissioned the Westfalia company to use the Kombi version of their Type 2 transporter as the basis for a campervan. Since the 1970s , the Japanese full-size vans like the Toyota Hiace and the Nissan Urvan, as well as the Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato and the Bedford vans became popular as "base vehicles" for campervans.
