Besje – Cozy 2p Volkswagen T3 bus 'Besje' from 1981

Besje is a compact T3 from 1981 in a nice striking color. She is a somewhat old lady, converted from a van to a camper. This oldtimer has a cozy orange color, so you will certainly stand out. She has a sliding roof so that you can stand in it and is equipped with an extra long bed (2.10 m), and a bicycle carrier (2 bicycles) and towbar.
It is located near Dalfsen (you can park here for free), but can also be picked up in Amsterdam (just keep in mind that you cannot park here for free with your own car).
She is a basic camper van with some points for improvement. But a very nice camper for a weekend or week away in your own country or a few weeks across the border. Due to her age, she is not very suitable for long road trips through the mountains.
She is a bit elderly so expect some slow acceleration but once she gets going she will keep up with traffic just fine. I drive between 80 and 110 km per hour with her. She likes to drink petrol and is therefore a bit more free with regard to the environmental zones, other rules sometimes apply abroad (you have to pay attention to that yourself), but in Germany, for example, she falls into an exception because she is a real old-timer.

I've always been used to traveling with a small tent, so I find Besje fully equipped. But keep in mind that you can only cook outside on separate burners (2 gas bottles included). At campsites you can connect it to 220v (there are three sockets in the bus), handy for charging laptops / telephones and also for using the Nespresso machine. The furniture also includes a cafe press, so if you have no power for a while, no problem. The bus also contains: blackout curtains, 2x folding chairs and table, mini iron, bed linen, cutlery, towels and tea towels, cups, regular glasses, wine glasses, large and small plates, a dish and cooking pans, a small electric heater, and a small fan and a cool box. It is nice to bring a music box and power bank, a nice frying pan, and a cutting board.
