The perfect camper if you want to travel alone!
I myself have been a solo traveler for years (usually with my dog) and have had my brilliant Calimero for 3 years now. Due to its compact construction, easy steering and good visibility through all windows, you can place Calimero anywhere and as a plus..... It just fits in a normal parking space :-). So you can visit all the nice, cute little villages very easily.
I have experienced quite a few adventures with Calimero in recent years: crossed Denmark (where you can also drive your camper on the beach, super cool!), discovered small Dutch spots (Love Friesland!) Crossed France and crossed the rugged coasts with Calimero of Normandy, last ride was last April, exploring the South of England with its super narrow local roads and cute little villages. This is really only for a small camper, otherwise you will quickly get stuck on a country road. England is definitely a country that I will explore further.
Let me further introduce you to Calimero: it is a solid original VW California camper from 1998 with a standard raised roof so that you can easily stand in it. It has a strong 2.5 TDI engine, fine all-weather tires and fully inspected and well maintained at the VW garage. So you're in the right place for safe driving. It also has cruise control and automatic window control, great for when you travel alone, then you can also open the right window :-). In short, it ensures that you drive wonderfully and safely on all roads in Europe.
Do you want to be off grid or just not use electricity? Thanks to the large household battery and external inverter, you can be without power for up to 4 days. You can use the external inverter to charge your mobile, laptop, etc. (up to a maximum of 350 watts). The household battery charges itself when you drive.
You won't get cold in the camper either, thanks to a built-in parking heater that runs on diesel. The automatic thermostat will always keep you warm on and off grid.
Would you also like to bring your dog(s)? That is possible and of course super fun. I always remove the co-driver's seat myself so that my dog has more room to move. Of course I can also arrange this for you.
If you would like to start a cool adventure, I will make sure that Calimero is completely ready for you with, among other things, a fully charged household battery, basic dishwashing set, filled water tank, full gas bottle, full diesel tank and a set of towels, tea towels and duvets .
All you need to bring is your own pillow, which is always the best.

- Bivvy Loo (foldable toilet max 150 kg)
- External inverter (for charging laptop, mobile etc up to max 350 kw)

I am very happy to share my Calimero with you, so that you too can experience that adventurous and free feeling. Everything is possible for 2 days or 3 weeks!
If you don't know exactly where to go yet, you can give all kinds of tips to find the nicest, quietest, most beautiful and cheapest places.
With kind regards,
