Towards the Sun with Charlie!
What if you don't have any time at all? ;-) The only thing that matters is enjoying the surroundings, with the sun in sight and heading out to all the beautiful places yet to be discovered.
As soon as we get into the campervan, time seems to stand still, and you certainly shouldn't be in a hurry with a campervan that's almost 45 years old. So don't plan too many kilometers in one day. A far-flung destination isn't a problem, but divide it into several stages. The campervan will take you where you want to go, and once you arrive, you can immediately enjoy yourself.
Our campervan is the ideal size for two people: comfortable enough to sleep, cook, and store your belongings, and perfect for a city break. You can park it almost anywhere, and because it's a gasoline engine, you won't have to worry about low-emission zones in cities.
Keep in mind that fuel consumption is relatively high. Expect about 1 liter per 9 liters, which is quite normal for a campervan with a high roof.
What can you expect when you start your journey?
- The camper is from 1982 and therefore a real classic car.

Important to know: the Volkswagen T3 is almost 45 years old, so keep the following in mind:
- Cruising speed: around 110 km/h, but 90 km/h is more pleasant to drive.
- No airbags, no crumple zone, keep your distance, and the braking distance is also longer.
- We do not recommend long distances.
- No power steering, but the automatic transmission makes driving comfortable.
- When camping in the wild, the refrigerator will last for about 4 days on the household battery.
- Jumper cables and battery charger available for emergencies.
- Everything is vintage, but with all the comforts.
Treat your camper with care and love, just as we do, so it can last for years to come!
