Frequently asked questions
Is My Campervan an alternative to Vanspace 3D?

Can I try Vanspace 3D for free?
According to the maker there is no free trial (as of 9 November 2026). You can try My Campervan free for 7 days, with no payment details, with one design in a set van; the trial then ends by itself.
