We, Tom and Lin, converted a Volkswagen Crafter into Vanessa in 2019, which would become our home for the coming year. In 2019, we made our dream come true and crossed 21 European countries, from Norway to Greece, in our beloved Vanessa. The adventure of our lives was a fact! In the meantime, we have settled again and we want to give Vanessa her freedom back.
Since we stayed permanently in our camper van, Vanessa was provided with the necessary facilities. It has running and heated water, a gas stove, electricity and heating. Because of our stay-anywhere mentality, we also paid the necessary attention to the stealth content of the bus. An overnight stay in the great outdoors thus became daily routine.
We invite you to take Vanessa on new adventures!
Vanessa is a Volkswagen Crafter L2H2, height 2m90. Anyone with a regular driver's license can drive her, but keep in mind that she is just that little bit higher and longer than a regular van.
What does Vanessa have to offer?
A completely self-sufficient system through green electricity from 3 solar panels (330 wp), combined with a battery storage capacity of 300ah and a 100L water tank. This means that you are not dependent on camper pitches for electricity or plumbing. In other words, you should not be at a campsite once on a two or three week trip if desired. In addition, it is always nice and warm in the van in winter, as it has a diesel heating system.
