What a nice and pleasant handover of the camper with Martin. We discussed everything in his organic shop over a good cup of coffee. The bus was shown and explained in detail; nice for a first-time camper. His shop offers plenty of choices for stocking up on the go. You really don't need to do that in advance and take it with you. The two of us went to northern France/Alsace. We took short trips of about 4-5 hours at most. The size of the van and the noise (especially from the cupboard interior and table) took some getting used to. By the end of the holiday, we had more or less figured out how to place our belongings as vibration-free as possible. Driving on cruise control went perfectly. At a speed of about 100, we could achieve 1:10. Car radio also used with Bluetooth and own Spotify playlists. The built-in navigation was no longer up to date, but that never caused any real issues. The folding bikes were a welcome addition. Fine for riding to a shop or restaurant at a leisurely pace, but not suitable for long bike rides. For that, I would bring my own e-bikes next time on a separate bike carrier. In terms of interior, the van is very fully equipped. I didn't really miss anything. The bed is excellent, and the steps to get in are nice too. Standing height is fine as well, but stepping out of the van through the sliding door is a bit low, which sometimes gave me a headache (I am on the tall side, you see). Gas, water, and electricity were perfectly fine. Battery capacity for off-grid camping was also good for one night. Didn't try it for longer. The sunshade functioned well. However, I sometimes missed a side panel due to the wind. All in all, definitely a bus to give a try.
