At the beginning of 2019 we thought: "a camper, isn't that something for us?" We now know that going on holiday with the camper is great! It is wonderful to enjoy the freedom to go where you want. But most campers are so atmospheric built with a standard interior ... That is why we quickly decided to purchase a modern bus and convert it into a cozy camper ourselves!

A modern bus so ... because when you travel you simply want air conditioning, cruise control, good music and a nice seat. You can just drive 130 and due to the modern facilities you will not arrive exhausted at your destination. This makes the camper well suited to go a little further away.

The interior is self-built, attractively decorated with wood. You sleep on a double bed (1.60 x 1.90, 20cm thick) with slatted bed, which really sleeps wonderfully. The kitchen has a sink, 2 burner stove, and a 12V compressor refrigerator that always cools. Because of the compressor model, it always cools back without worrying about the outside temperature. And because we have placed a solar panel on the roof and built in a large household battery, the refrigerator always has power (and also the lighting, the USB chargers for your phone, etc.). The bus is completely insulated all around, so you don't immediately sweat your bed in the morning, even if you are parked in the sun. Outside you can relax under the brand new awning. (One of the photos still has a tarp / tent, which has since been replaced by an awning that you can easily turn out.)

You can go to the toilet on board the Porta Potti. Do you want to take a shower? You do this on the side of the bus or in the shower tent. You stand on a large rubber mat so that you have a soft surface and the water drains under your feet. Thanks to the boiler that is built into the cargo space, you have hot water from the outdoor shower. Because the water drains into nature, we use biodegradable shampoo and soap, which is available on board.

A 125 liter clean water tank is available on board. In combination with the solar panel, you can easily discover the most beautiful places "off-grid" for a few days! There is also a boiler for hot water for the shower or for a washing-up dish. You can collect dirty water in a waste water tank, or let it run out where you can. There is also an inverter on board so that you have 220V if there is no fixed power connection nearby.

Is there a fixed power connection at the campsite or motorhome? Then you can easily connect the bus with the 220V CEE (camper plug) connection. The bus then automatically draws its power from the fixed connection and no longer from the solar panel. There are long power cables at the bus and also an adapter plug to a normal socket (schuko plug).

There is a Thule bicycle rack on the back of the bus. This is mounted on the door so you can still open the rear doors with the bikes on it. Through the rear doors you enter the large cargo area under the bed.

Go on an adventure with our bus! We bought it in early 2019 and converted it into a camper ourselves. In the summer of 2019 we made a long trip and really enjoyed the freedom. After that we made some adjustments and now it is ready to let others enjoy it too!
