Five advantages of a camper van

Especially in recent years, camper vans have been increasing in popularity. Many (compact) camper vans also drive on Dutch roads. And that is not without reason. With a camper van, you can get to the most beautiful places! We give you five advantages of a camper van.

1 – Good construction

As you can already see from the name, a camper van is built on the basis of a (delivery) van. Fiat Ducato is most often used for this, but also, for example, Mercedes Sprinter, Citroën and Peugeot. The exterior of a camper van therefore consists of a metal body. And that is a lot sturdier than, for example, aluminum or polyester, which is used for other campers and caravans.

2 – A lot of freedom

One of the advantages of a camper van is that it is compact. Both in length and width. This makes it easy to drive. Very handy, especially during city trips, or in places where the roads are narrower. And of course, parking is also easier with a camper van. Not only during your holiday, but also in front of your house. This means that you can easily go away for a weekend: your camper van is already at your door anyway.

And what about a nice day trip? Choose a beautiful nature reserve in the Netherlands, enjoy the journey there and enjoy all the facilities your camper van offers at your destination. A cup of coffee is made in no time! And even after a party with friends, you can easily arrange an overnight stay. Your familiar bed in your own camper van sleeps so comfortably.

3 – Daily use

Compact bus campers, in particular, are also used for daily transport. So you can choose to trade in your passenger car for a bus camper. Because you can easily do your shopping, visit your family, and go on holiday with it. You often don't need an extra driving license for it, as most bus campers are not heavier than 3500 kg and do not have more than 8 passenger seats. This does mean that if you buy a used bus camper, there are often more kilometers on the odometer: good to keep an eye on.

4 – Fully equipped

Many bus campers are cleverly laid out. This ensures sufficient comfort during your camping holiday. You have everything at your disposal within a few square meters. In any case, every bus camper has a transverse bed in the back. Sometimes two extra sleeping places are added to the camper by means of a lift bed. The somewhat larger bus campers sometimes even have a toilet and/or shower. And of course, there is a dinette and kitchen available.

5 – Affordable

Because a bus camper is compact, the price reflects that. Other types of campers are usually more expensive, with the luxury integrated camper in the highest price segment. Because bus campers are often in the lower price range, they are an ideal option for camping enthusiasts with a smaller budget. In addition, fuel consumption is often lower than with other, larger types of campers.
