The two double berths are equipped with camper mattresses, but for added comfort, you can get a mattress topper for each, and because they fit so well, a fitted sheet for each. You'll put your own fresh sheet on top. When you return, I'll throw the fitted sheets in my washing machine for your convenience.
We also have a safety gate for the top bunk for the littlest campers. This way, even those indispensable cuddly toys stay in bed.
𝐓𝐎𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐓
The toilet is a mobile cassette toilet (Porta Potti - Qube from Thetford).
To be used for small business. Gentlemen, please put your seat up! I'll prepare the toilet for use and provide four extra cleaning/flushing kits.
𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄
The tinted windows in the camper compartment minimize visibility, and when you close the curtains, they're completely dark. The cockpit can be easily and quickly darkened with the window insulation kit; it keeps the summer heat out and the (winter) coziness in.

The powerful solar panel is a separate panel and is very practical in locations without power. When you connect the panel, the onboard battery charges, but the engine battery does not.
𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆
The heater is a separate unit and can only be used with a 220V connection on the camper van or shore power.
𝐊𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐉𝐃
The Nespresso coffee maker is a must-have for me. This one, too, can only be used with a 220V connection on the campervan, or shore power.
𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑
We have a Thule bike rack available for up to three bikes, including heavier electric bikes. Because you can fold the rack away with the bikes still on, you can easily reach the back of the camper.

There is no Isofix attachment, but there is a (three-point) seat belt attachment.

Pioneer radio/CD unit with Bluetooth streaming. You can also connect your phone to the radio with a USB cable. Great for DJs.

There is a sturdy mobile phone holder on the dashboard for your mobile navigation.

To use a laptop, for example, there's a 12V-230V inverter. This is especially useful if you don't have shore power (temporarily). It's therefore not suitable for electrical devices, even if you do have shore power.
𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐔'𝐒
When the camper is connected to shore power, you do not use the power from the batteries, and even better: both the on-board battery and the engine battery are charged.

The gas tank is connected, and there's also a full reserve tank. You won't receive a gas bill from me :-).
𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐌𝐓𝐄 & 𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐆
To help you organize the campervan before departure, I've provided several perfectly fitting, practical crates. The van is also equipped with a new Brandrup bag set: the storage compartments hang on the rear and on the wardrobe/pantry of the van. Super handy! There's plenty of closet space, and you can even store your belongings on the bench seat. The camping chairs and table, as well as the spare gas tank, are stored in the back of the campervan.

There's no indicator to warn you that the lights are still on. So, both turning them on and off requires manual intervention. And if the indicator is still flashing and you remove the key, the parking lights will come on. This can be convenient, but it also drains the battery. There are also no reversing or parking sensors. If in doubt, always have someone watch, because boom is whoa!

The campervan was built in 2000 and runs on diesel. This means you need to be aware of low-emission zones in the city centers of some major cities, both domestically and internationally. Our campervan is in emission class 3, which can be checked on the RDW website. For the correct information about these low-emission zones, check the ANWB website, for example. There is an environmental sticker for Germany on the windshield.

Different pick-up times (between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM) and return times (between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM) are often possible upon request. Please allow an hour to an hour and a half for explanations/transfers.

I'll email you a more detailed inventory list and the GoForm the week before you leave. This way, we can quickly make the right arrangements!

In Kampen you can park your car for free and then unpack your car and pack your camper in peace.
Or take the train to Kampen on your departure day to pick up the campervan. You'll be at my house in just eight minutes. You'll have the convenience of packing the van with your holiday gear at home.
𝐄𝐧 you know immediately what you can leave at home.
Your stuff doesn't pass through your hands twice in one day.
𝐄𝐧 you can immediately set off with that ultimate holiday feeling.

You'll receive the campervan clean, inside and out, but you can return it spotlessly clean. I'll clean it thoroughly for you, and I'll charge €45 for that. I'll send you a Tikkie when I pick up the campervan. This way, you can easily pay me for those costs. If you're bringing your dog, please ensure the campervan is free of dog hair and odors.
𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐍
I make sure I have a full tank. I expect it back full.
When the tank is half full, I charge €60, and for a (nearly) empty tank, €120. If applicable, I'll note this during the return of the campervan. You can then pay this fee via Tikkie. The tank capacity is 80 liters, and in economy mode, it gets 12 liters of fuel per liter.

Two DAHON (5 & 7 gears) folding bikes. These can be placed on the bike rack, but if you prefer to travel without the bike rack, you can also store them in the special bike covers in the camper. The rental price for one folding bike is €7.50 per day. For both, you pay €10 per day, with a maximum of
€125.
𝐁𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍
For extra luggage space, a handy, compact luggage cart. It's equipped with a luggage rack and a Twinny load for two bicycles. The cart's dimensions: length x width x height = 150 x 100 x 50 cm. The price is €7.50 per day, with a maximum of €125.

Small dogs are welcome. However, I do feel it's important to emphasize that hygiene is very important to me and my guests, and that dogs are not allowed on the chairs and sofas. Please bring a dog cushion and/or crate, for example. Your assistance dog is always welcome, but please don't let them on the chairs and sofas either.
