Oops, we did it again…
May I introduce our latest family vehicle member: this is our new camper van!
Slightly bigger than the previous one (VW T5 which broke down two years ago). It comes with a bed, a kitchenette, a bathroom, etc. It’s spacious and wow. We are in love with it.
Purchased just before Christmas and then it took a little longer to get it registered and on the road (Hello German bureaucracy 🙃). But now, here we are.
We started moving in (or in other words, finding the previous camping equipment, and giving it a good rinse). While we did that, we spontaneously decided to spend our first night in the van – hubby’s idea. It’s about time to get to know each other. We have been excited since Christmas and couldn’t wait any longer. Last Night was the night 💫
We didn’t drive anywhere. We parked in front of our house. Plugged in for electricity (heat in our case) as we have (only) -2C degrrrrreeeessss.
Let’s introduce our van:
That’s our bed with many layers: sheets, lamb fur, sleeping bags, duvet on top… hardly space left for us, but we enjoyed a very cosy night. We even had to turn the temperature down as we were a little roasting 😆
Dear camping friends, thanks for sharing so many very helpful tips & tricks, like carpets. Our feet were happy, thankful & warm 😌
And in case you are wondering how the night was… Good morning! We slept heavenly! We also didn’t have a gas explosion when preparing our first breakfast 💪🏻 and good that our village is still asleep on a Sunday morning 9:30am when I walked Charlie in Pyjamas and Flipflops 🤭
Another reason for the first night out… First weekend away in the van coming up. 4 days to go 🤩 it will be a lot colder in the night. Snow. At least now we know how to plug in and that the heater is working 🙂 Already excited for the maiden voyage.
Bon voyage 👋
