We are very pleased to share our beloved off-grid camper Germaine with you.
She's no longer one of the youngest, but she's certainly not inferior to the younger generation. Germaine is a Mercedes 508D van, known among enthusiasts as incredibly strong and durable.
We have had Germaine for 15 years now and therefore know that she has always been very well maintained.
In 2023, we gave her interior a thorough makeover (refreshing furniture and upholstery, replacing the plumbing and electrical systems, installing new solar panels, and a refrigerator). In early 2024, the body shop took her in hand and painted her a new color. The result: You take home a sparkling van in mint condition.
Our camper is equipped for wild camping and off-grid living.
We built it in such a way that you don't necessarily have to drive from campsite to campsite.
There is room to linger wherever you want along the way.
With Germaine you can head into your adventure with peace of mind.
Germaine has all the comforts for longer trips, a good bed, a decent kitchen, and plenty of coziness.
We've built her as a vacation home on wheels, giving her more cachet and a homey feel than a factory-built campervan. We think that's a huge added value.
Below we would like to list all the practical matters for you.
