Five advantages of a bus camper

Bus campers have increased in popularity, especially in recent years. There are also many (compact) bus campers driving around on Dutch roads. And that is not for nothing. With a bus camper you can visit the most beautiful places! We give you five advantages of a bus camper.

1 – Good construction

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

2 – Lots of freedom

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

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

3 – Daily use

Compact bus campers in particular are also used for daily transport. So you can choose to exchange your passenger car for a bus camper. Because you can use it for shopping, visiting your family and celebrating holidays. You often don't have one additional driver's license necessary, as most bus campers do not weigh more than 3500 kg and have no more than 8 passenger seats. This does mean that if you buy a used bus camper, it often has more kilometers on the odometer: good to keep an eye on.

4 – Fully furnished

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

5 – Affordable

Because a bus camper is compact, the price is accordingly. Other types of campers are usually more expensive, with the luxury integral 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.
