Our family has been happily traveling with our "Sminty Minty" campervan for many years now. After several wonderful campervan trips to far-flung destinations like Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, we decided to purchase one ourselves. With our three sons, we find it an ideal way to get away.
Thanks to a campervan, you're on the road with your own little "home," and the children quickly feel at home. Without them having to adjust to new surroundings night after night, you can still see a bit of the world. Plus, you don't have to fly; the moment you drive off the street, you're on vacation. You can also cover longer distances than with a car, because someone can read a book to you, hand out snacks, and they can even draw themselves.
We also really enjoy getting out and about in the campervan without the kids. A weekend of beach volleyball with friends on the Dutch coast, for example. We love sharing the joy we get from our campervan with others.
