This fun and cheerful campervan isn't exactly the youngest anymore, but it drives like a dream. With just under 170,000 km on the odometer.
It's neatly furnished with dimmable lighting near the kitchen/sink area and two more powerful LED lights in the ceiling. (There's also a set of battery-powered artificial tea lights for those romantic moments. :-))
A cozy seating area is created by the passenger's swivel seat, the seat above the electrical box, and a rotating and removable table. This allows two people to sit down for a meal, a drink, or a game.
Standing height up to approximately 175 cm. But with the pop-up roof raised, it extends to over 2 meters thanks to its large size, deluxe pop-up roof. It features semicircular openings with fine mesh at the front and rear.
Light and air also because there is an extra tinted window with sliding window on either side.
It is fully equipped for a short or longer trip and has ramps, a 10-metre cable/connector for shore power, a folding table and two chairs for outside use, a small fridge, pans, a kettle, cutlery, plates, oil and some herbs, coffee and tea, some games, in fact everything you need.
The two solar panels and professional electrical installation ensure that you can easily stay off-grid.
Fitted with sliding curtains all around the household area.
It has an awning that goes on the tendon gutter.
The camper comes standard with fresh bed linen, two clean bath towels, a clean hand towel and tea towel, and a kitchen roll.
With my carpentry background, I installed it myself very neatly. It's only been completely finished since last winter.
It is completely insulated with Armaflex, covered all around with wooden cladding that has been finished with a strong matt lacquer.
A concrete plywood floor is laid over the insulation on the bottom, and a single piece of vinyl is laid over that.
A good, large bed is important to me. So: 200 x 160 cm, 25 cm thick, formed with two pocket spring mattresses. (Which were protected with a topper when in use.) And fixed, not foldable, because you don't want to deal with that twice a day.
A two-burner gas stove with ample space next to it for preparing food.
Below is a small refrigerator with a freezer compartment, this type is specially designed to consume little power.
Sink with running water from the water tank below. The drain goes to a wastewater tank located next to it. Both tanks are easily accessible from outside. There's also some space next to the sink for storing things. The rotating table can also be rotated outside the campervan, allowing you to place food on it, for example.
Plenty of storage space. The bed is raised high enough to easily slide in Xenos plastic containers on wheels. Two are available, measuring 40 cm high and 60 cm long. (You can pick it up beforehand to store your clothes, so you don't need suitcases.)
The porta potty can also be stored under the bed. It is thoroughly cleaned after each use and always contains sufficient blue and red liquid. Toilet paper is also included.
There's a deep cabinet for all your cooking essentials. A small, deep, narrow cabinet for all your rice, pasta, etc., and a drawer for cutlery and all sorts of small items. Long shelves along the wall keep things you need close at hand.
From the rear doors there is also plenty of space in the garage for camping chairs, extra water, jerry cans, etc.
Naturally, it is also equipped with a fire extinguisher and an airtight gas bottle locker to ensure that the gas bottles are safely stored.
If, like me, you need little power, the 370-amp inverter is sufficient. Good for laptops, toothbrushes, etc. If you want to use more electricity, a shore power connection is possible.
I'm offering the campervan for rent because we can't always use it ourselves, and it would be a shame to let this lovely campervan sit idle. It's also nice that the proceeds help cover some of our expenses.
It is also suitable for winter camping: it has a parking heater.
For some people, it's less suitable for very mountainous terrain because it doesn't have a turbo. So, especially on steep uphills, it's necessary to downshift and drive slower. However, the engine itself is incredibly powerful, and you'll always get there.
A bike rack will be available from the next renter. I'll be buying one soon. If you don't need it, it stays at home. If you do want it, it's an extra 5 euros per day.
It will most likely be an Enduro SD260. It can slide out backward with the bikes on it, allowing you to open the rear doors while the bikes are still on top.
