Compact family camper with bunk bed

We bought our first camper in 2016, and in the years that followed we have continued to work towards what is the ideal camper for us. We are very satisfied with our Knaus Sport Traveler from 2006, and now offer it for rent so that others can enjoy it.

NEW (2023): The camper is now equipped with a Truma Saphir Comfort air conditioning for the living area!

TO SLEEP
It is a six-person camper, but we use it with 4 people. Our two children each have their own place in the bunk bed in the back, we sleep in the alcove. The advantage of this is that the train seat remains free for sitting, and nothing needs to be converted. It is of course possible to convert this seat for 1 or 2 extra sleeping places.
There are two new (2022) SwissSense mattresses measuring 80x200 cm in the alcove, the mattresses in the bunk bed are 75 cm wide. The total length of all beds is around 210 cm. If the train seat is converted, this results in a bed of 182x120 cm. The alcove is equipped with a curtain and (if desired) a drop net. The top bunk bed also has a curtain, and (if desired) a safety gate. The lower bed has a sliding door.
For bookings of 5 days or more, bed linen for the permanent beds, bath towels for 4 people and kitchen towels are included in the rent; If you prefer to use your own bed linen and towels, that is of course also possible. If you are traveling with more than 4 people, we will find a solution for the extra sleeping places in consultation.

TO RIDE
The camper has 6 approved seats, all of which are equipped with a retractable seat belt. So everyone can find a favorite spot while driving, and child seats can also be secured safely. The passenger seat can be rotated for an extra seat while camping.
It can take some getting used to being on the road with a large vehicle, but it drives quite easily. Of course, you should always be aware of your size and, for example, do not try to enter a parking garage. The camper is fairly compact with a length of 6m20 (6m95 with the bicycle carrier). The wheelbase is relatively short, making the camper quite manoeuvrable, but the rear overhang is quite long, especially with the bicycle carrier.
The camper is equipped with a 2.3 liter Fiat turbodiesel engine with 110 hp, and can therefore keep up with traffic. The camper is equipped with cruise control for a relaxing journey; a cruising speed of around 100 km/h is pleasant to drive – when camping, the journey is also part of the holiday!
The registration weight of the camper is 2818 kg - not that much for a camper, but still a lot of weight. That is why the camper is equipped with extra air suspension on the rear axle. This is powered by a built-in compressor and can be adjusted from the cabin. The camper has special Continental 4-season camper tires (2021). Because tire pressure is quite important, it is permanently monitored by a TPMS system. For a good view, the camper is equipped with double exterior mirrors and a reversing camera. A navigation system is included.

DESIGN
Due to the large headroom and the large roof hatch, the camper gives a spacious feeling. There are two smaller skylights above the beds; all windows and roof hatches are equipped with mosquito nets and sun protection blackout. The entrance door is equipped with a pleated insect screen. Sun blinds are available for the cabin that can be placed on the inside of the windows, but the cabin can also be closed with a curtain.
The camper is equipped with many cupboards and other storage spaces, and a garage under the bunk bed. The lower bed can also be folded up for even more luggage space, or for easy access to items in the garage. There is a separate storage compartment on the outside for, among other things, the ramps and the cable for the power supply.
There is plenty of crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils available, as well as various pans, an oven, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, kettle, etc. There are also various games and all kinds of things that can be useful while on the road.
To sit outside, there are 4 tables and 4 chairs, plus 2 child-sized chairs and a high chair; There is also a beach bar and 4 stools. The camper has a large awning that can be secured with a storm strap.
There is a chemical toilet in the bathroom, which is mainly intended for small errands. It is possible to shower in the camper, but with the limited space and a maximum of 10 liters of hot water, this is more suitable as an exception than for daily use. There are two laundry baskets, a clothes dryer and a fold-out drying rack in the bathroom.

MISUSE
When traveling with a camper, it is very nice to have bicycles with you for extra freedom of movement.
A bicycle carrier for 4 bicycles is placed on the back of the camper, which is attached to the chassis of the camper. This can carry a considerable weight, making it also suitable for e-bikes. The rear rail is only suitable for a lightweight bicycle. The bicycles are also connected to the back wall with sturdy clamps, and a tension strap goes around the bicycles and the carrier, so that the whole thing is firmly secured.
A storage space has been created under the passenger seat for the batteries of e-bikes. A reversible marker board is available and is approved for both Italy and Spain.

ELECTRICITY
There is a long CEE cable on a pulley for the electricity supply, and an extra extension cable if necessary. The camper is amply equipped with electrical outlets. There are also USB connections everywhere, which work directly on the 12V system, so they are always available.
There is an on-board battery that is charged when the camper is 'on the pole', while driving, and via the solar panel on the roof. There is an inverter available, so that a large number of the sockets can also be used with energy from the battery. The capacity of the battery is limited, so the camper is less suitable for long-term 'wild' camping.
The refrigerator (with freezer) works on 230V, 12V or gas. The 12V mode only works when the car's engine is running (as with any camper) - so it is intended to maintain cooling while on the road.

GAS
In mobile life, gas is very useful. The camper is equipped with a combined gas heater and boiler for hot water. The heater distributes the hot air through pipes throughout the entire camper. The camper is therefore very usable, even in cold weather. For use in frost conditions, the water tanks can also be heated by the heater to prevent freezing.
The spacious kitchen has a 3-burner gas stove, and there is also a gas connection with a quick coupling on the outside of the camper. A separate 2-burner gas stove for outdoor use is included, it is also possible to connect your own barbecue or skottelbraai, for example. There are two gas bottles available, when renting there will always be one full and one opened bottle. The installation switches itself over when a bottle becomes empty. The consumption of one gas bottle is included in the rental, so you can return the camper with 1 empty bottle. A gas bottle lasts a long time, but if you are going away for a long time you may also use up the second bottle, in which case you will have to provide a new filling yourself. The gas bottles are of the most common version and can be exchanged anywhere in Europe.

SECURITY
Because a camper is a valuable asset, it has various safety features, such as an immobilizer and a Bearlock gearbox lock. In case something goes wrong and the camper is stolen, it can be traced again via the GPS tracker.
Various safeguards are included in the gas installation, so that the gas bottles can remain open safely while driving. A small safe has been installed to store passports, for example.

HOUSE RULES
We assume that you as a renter will treat the camper with the same care as we do ourselves. Due to lung disease and allergies in our family, smoking and pets are absolutely prohibited in this camper. In case of violation, we must withhold €500 from the deposit to have the camper cleaned - just don't do that!
We are very careful with our camper and do everything we can to keep it in beautiful and good condition, and to always improve it where possible. But it is not new, so it may happen that something does not work properly. We will also help you find the best possible solution.
The camper is delivered clean and with a full tank, and we want it back that way. The toilet must be empty and cleaned, and the water tanks (clean water and waste water) emptied.
Because we assume that you will return it clean, we do not charge any cleaning costs as standard. If it turns out to be necessary for us to clean the camper extra, €50 will be deducted from the deposit. If the fuel tank is not full or both gas bottles are empty, the costs to rectify this will be deducted from the deposit, with a surcharge of €15.

FORMALITIES
Insurance through Goboony is included in the rental price, with the standard deductible. You can possibly reduce this, see the offer that this platform makes for this. The handling of the finances and the deposit is also done via Goboony, for mutual security. The camper may only go to countries that fall within the insurance coverage area (European Union, EFTA countries and Great Britain). The drivers must be at least 25 years old and have held a B driving license for at least 3 years. We would also like to get to know you first before we give you our precious camper.
If you have any further questions, you can of course always contact us. It is also possible to view the camper without obligation, of course if it has not been rented. Rental periods are flexible, although we prefer to see it used optimally during the high season.
Your car can be parked safely in our yard during the trip. Possible collection and delivery of the camper, or assistance with arriving by public transport, for example, is all negotiable - a lot is possible in consultation!
