Discover the advantages of a minivan
With a minicamper, you leave whenever you want. You can travel without a fixed itinerary, as you fit in almost anywhere. This allows you to stop almost anywhere, navigate the narrowest streets and tackle the steepest mountain passes.
A minicamper drives like a minivan and immediately feels familiar. It is easy to manoeuvre in cities, on narrow roads and along winding routes. The slightly elevated driving position gives you a clear view of traffic as well as the surrounding scenery.
Despite its compact size, everything you need is cleverly integrated into the minicamper. The kitchen, seating area and sleeping spaces are logically laid out and easy to use. This way, you enjoy surprisingly high comfort for up to four people in a small space.
Thanks to its compact dimensions, a minicamper fits on regular parking spaces and in many underground car parks. It allows you to reach places where larger motorhomes are not welcome or practical. This gives you extra freedom, even in cities and villages.
A minicamper is perfectly suited as a family vehicle for everyday use. Practical during the week, it becomes a fully-fledged travel companion at weekends or on holiday. There is no need to own a second vehicle. Depending on the configuration, you can often add two extra seats to travel with up to six people, or remove the rear seats to create extra space, for example for a trip to the recycling centre.
When a minicamper is officially registered as a leisure vehicle (motorhome), more favourable tax rules often apply compared to a standard passenger car. The exact taxes depend on the vehicle’s homologation and the region in which it is registered.
What is a minicamper?
A minicamper or minivan is a compact camper based on a minivan or passenger car. It drives and parks just like a regular car, while still offering the comfort and freedom of camper travel. It is, by excellence, an ideal family vehicle.
Every minicamper is smartly designed with a kitchen and a seating area, which can be converted into a double bed. It is also equipped with a pop-up roof, allowing you to stand upright inside and providing two additional full-size sleeping spaces. There are versions with or without sanitary facilities: without a toilet or shower for those who prefer light and flexible travel, or with compact sanitary equipment for extra independence on the road.
No special driving licence is required, and travelling is smooth and relaxed wherever you go. For many travellers, a minicamper is the most accessible way to discover whether camper travel suits their lifestyle.
