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

A modern bus ... because when you travel you simply want air conditioning, cruise control, good music and a nice seat. You can just drive 130 and because of the modern facilities you will not arrive at your destination exhausted. This makes the camper very suitable for going a little further away.

The interior is self-built, attractively decorated with wood. You sleep on a double bed (1.60 x 1.90, 20 cm thick) with slatted base which really sleeps well. The kitchen has a sink, 2 burner stove, and a 12V compressor fridge that always cools. Due to the compressor model, it always cools down without having to worry about the outside temperature. And because we have placed a solar panel on the roof and have 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 fully insulated all around, so that you do not immediately sweat out of 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 (One of the photos shows a tarp / tent, which has since been replaced by an awning that you can easily turn out.)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 runs out from under your feet. Thanks to the boiler built into the cargo area, 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.

There is a 125 liter clean water tank 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 washing up. Dirty water should be let out if possible where you are standing. 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 pitch? 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 with the bus and also an adapter plug to a normal socket (schuko plug).

There is a bicycle rack from Thule 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 space 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. Then we made some adjustments and now he is ready to let others enjoy it too!
