Advice: if you want to protect yourself from burglary and theft you should stow your documents in an inconspicuous place not easily visible when the camper is parked.
CAMPING
What’s better than spending time in a camper van? Being outside, sitting in front of the camper van and enjoying the evening together with your loved ones with a breathtaking view. We have taken care of the seating situation: all VW camper vans are equipped with a camping table and two chairs. But that’s not all — here you can find the extensive standard equipment of our camper vans.
You should bring the following equipment:
Bed sheets and covers (1-2 bed sheets 120 cm / pillows / blankets or sleeping bags / duvet covers)
Towels (we recommend microfiber or linen towels because they dry faster and are compact)
Toilet paper (gas station toilets, yayy)
Flashlight / Headlamp (do not forget batteries or charger)
If you rent a Off camper van you don’t have to worry about kitchen equipment: from the basics like dishes and cutlery to pots/pans and wine glasses, everything is ready for you. Additionally, all campers are equipped with a refrigerator, an integrated and portable gas cooker as well as a sink.
The following kitchen tools could be useful:
Can opener
Carving knife / steak knife
All-purpose cleaning towels/cloths
Paper towels
Tinfoil
You can find out which foods are best suited for camping and how to store them in our blog article: Camping Kitchen Hacks. Even the best equipment will be useless if you don’t buy the right foods for camping.
