Olli – VW T4 Westfalia, ready to move in and self-sufficient

This fully equipped VW California, called Olli, has everything for a carefree holiday! It is suitable for 2 adults who want to go out with, or especially without, their two (small) children. Let me quickly take you on this holiday!

Pick up camper:
The camper will be picked up from me in Delft. It is located in a secure underground garage where your own car can also be parked safely. The garage is also very easy to reach by public transport, just a fifteen-minute walk from Delft station! Or take the bus or tram that will drop you off at a 3-minute walk from the parking garage.
Here I will go through all the ins and outs of Olli with you. Don't worry, you will also receive the manual :).

First ride:
The ignition is switched on and the first sounds of a wonderful road trip classic start playing. It is one followed by many, because a few CDs with ultimate road trip hits are hidden in the glove compartment. You turn the key a little further and the engine starts, time to go!

First Campsite:
Since Olli is not much bigger on the outside than a normal family car, you can easily park it on the assigned field at the campsite. Quickly take out the outdoor table and chairs and take in the first southern sun!
After recovering for a while, the bicycles can also be removed from the carrier and the roof can be opened. This offers a headroom of over 2 meters, so you can easily prepare your 3-star meal on the 2-burner all-burner and the supplied pans (wok, steel pans & 2 metal pans). All fresh products stay cool in the enormous refrigerator right next to your stove. Turn the two front seats around and remove the table from under the back seat and you have room for 4 to eat in the van. Eating outside is just as easy with the large outdoor table, 2 chairs and 4 stools that you had already placed outside upon arrival! See photos for the full inventory.
In the evening the bed is made in no time. It is a matter of sliding the sofa forward and laying it flat. Then you roll the nice thick topper over it and lay out the duvet and pillows, all of this is conveniently included in the rental. Close all the curtains and stick the blackout elements on the windshield, it is now pitch black inside. Click on the small lights in the back for an ultimately romantic atmosphere. Oh dear! Forget children... They lie on the false floor above you in the tent area. You had previously folded this floor down and with their own two sleeping bags it provided a perfect place for them.
The next morning the sun is just too bright early in the morning, so the awning offers a perfect solution. Coffee and tea are made in the van, so you can really wake up peacefully. Are you staying longer at this campsite? Then maybe it's time to lay out the groundsheet. Are you going to continue again? Then everything is cleaned up in 10 minutes and you are ready to go!

Further holiday:
Are you planning to travel more independently and freely? The batteries then provide enough power to run the refrigerator and lamps for 2-3 days. If a lap is driven in between, the batteries will recharge. The porta potti is also a solution. This is a small mobile toilet that allows you to relieve yourself anywhere and anytime (odorless).

Important information:
Olli has WA+ insurance. An accident can happen every now and then, but fortunately it is now well covered. Despite Olli's pampering, will you end up with bad luck? Then we have to use roadguard, they will get you safely off the road and to a garage. However, if the problem cannot be repaired (quickly), you must make a claim under your own travel insurance. So check carefully whether these cover replacement transport! Otherwise, you can take out short-term travel insurance that does cover this for a few tens of euros.

Given Olli's age, he is not allowed to enter any environmental zone for passenger cars. Pay close attention to this when planning your holiday! Fortunately, it is often not a problem, as campsites are almost always located outside the city and you have your bicycles on the back.

It is also not possible for me to insure Olli for replacement transport, also because of her age. This is therefore the tenant's own responsibility. In the event of a breakdown, we will of course look together for the nicest and best solution. But replacement transport will always have to come from your own insurance. This is only recommended for trips longer than a week.

Return:
Now comes the hardest part of the holiday... Saying goodbye to Olli. You deliver it broom clean, with a full tank, an empty waste water tank and an empty porta potti.
