Volkswagen Campervan von Jussi

I chose a private insurance solution and made some of the equipment optional. The insurance offers still a very good level of security for the renter. I will tell more about it in the end of this explanation, for the case you need it, which of course we hope you will not. The optional equipment comes as follows: - Bottom sheet is included. Set of 2 pillows, 2 blankets, 2 sheets, 2 towels for 50€. After the first week, 30€/week. - bike rack 20€/week. - if you need bikes, I can add one or two for 10€/bike/day. Nothing fancy, but get you from A to B and are great for discovering the surroundings. (The bike rack is included with this solution) - One or two SUP-boards 5€/day & board - high chair (Ikea Antilop) for 10€ - maxi cosi (up to 13kg) for 20€ These extras I will charge in cash or mobile pay at pickup. Please be prepared. :) Now to the basic information: - about traveling with three people, for example taking a baby/toddler/kid with you. There are three places in the car. The middle seat has a two-point safety belt only. You decide if it is ok for you that somebody has only a two point safety belt. - the bed is 120x200cm. - cooking with two very handy gas stoves. 2 bottles of gas/cooker/week are included. If you need more, you find the bottles for around 2€ in a lot of stores, Biltema, Motonet, etc. - Good set of kettles, pans, plates etc. - "Hobo stove" for grilling and cooking, in which you can burn small wood, charcoal, cones or such. - electricity for the fridge and loading electronically devices while camping comes from a small power station. The power station has 12V car socket outlet, USB A and -C. It has a capacity for the fridge for around one day at 6 degrees, maybe the second is at 10 degrees etc. You can load the power station via normal wall outlet, while driving through the 12V car socket, or with the foldable solar panel. It should be possible to live off-grid just fine if you take care of catching sunlight with the panel, and, of course, always charge while driving.. - you can communicate with the fridge through Frezzers own bluetooth app. Can come in handy while driving and wondering how your food is doing behind the wall. :D - two hammocks - Chemical camping toilet. Mostly we have been able to use public toilets, often there are also some next to popular camper van spots, beaches etc. The chemical toilet we have used only for "number one" without chemicals or such. You can use the chemical stuff if you want to. - for the shower, two options: a black bag that warms up in the sun and can be hung up somewhere and then the water flows freely. Quite low pressure. Second option is an electric shower that you just put in the water. Good pressure. Maybe you can combine both... warming up the water in the black bag, and then use the electric shower with good pressure. - The heating is in the test phase. It is very powerful, and a lot too warm in the summer even at its smallest (outside 12 degrees, inside 35 degrees..). So probably in the summer no need for the heating, but maybe an option on a rainy day for an hour or two, to dry your clothes. The starting phase of the diesel heater is on the edge of the capacity of the power station, so it sometimes turns off a minute or a few after launch and needs to be restarted. Until now, it has started every time on the first, second or at least the third try. In any case: unplug all other equipment from the power station for the start. After the power intensive start, the power consumption drops drastically, no problem after that, and you can plug in the other electricity consuming stuff. EDIT: I added a "buffer" made out of stones. You can see it in one of the last picture. This slows down the heating and keeps warmth when you shut the heater down. I reckon this could be a game changer. Let me know about your experiences! - Tarp and tarp poles as sun and rain shelter. Now to the cases of unwanted things happening: damage, breakdown, accident. At first, I state that I will be in reach via Whatsapp, or phone. I can't always answer, as I work as a tram driver for now, but I will be there to help you with my best knowledge. So please contact me with low treshold, a lot of problems might be easy to solve. Of course not all, for some you need professional help. The insurance company is OP-Pohjola, that is good to know in case you need it. It is enough to tell the name of the insurance company to the towing company, and the invoice goes to them. You can use whatever towing company is at hand, but for example redgo.fi works nicely. Or you call autohätäkeskus, "car emergency central" 010 253 0012. They will help you with arranging help or the towing, and they are open 24/7/365. In the case of an accident or a damage on the car which is not due to normal wear. In these cases the deposit is the maximum what you stand for. For a car breakdown: the insurance covers the cost for towing the car to a garage. Basically the nearest, but with a bit of negotiation space, for example in case a garage has a free time slot, but the nearest not, then it is probably ok to tow the car a bit further. So it might be good to reach out to garages nearby to find out about their capacity before the towing. Finding a good garage with time to look at the problem is essential... so if the weekend is approaching, it's good to do the contacting quick. On the other hand, if you are already at a nice spot camping and the car just doesn't start, and evening is coming, the best solution might be to stay where you are and wait until the nest morning with the towing and/or contacting the repair shops. The repair costs will be covered by the owner, means me. What will be repaired and how, needs to be discussed with me, normally, in the end, agreed between me and the garage. In addition, for the continuation of your journey, you will have several options: - you wait for the reparation of the van. I will return you the money for the rent for the days the van could not be used. In addition, you can either have 50€/day from the insurance company, or a small rental car. - you end your journey and return to Helsinki with a economy or second class ticket or public transport. - if you are not too far away from Helsinki, and I have another van free, it might be possible to change the rest of your rental period to another van. There might be several options, from very van-like "mattress on the floor" type solutions to more sofisticated ones. Mostly, with open-minded brainstorming, it is possible to find a good solution in these unwanted and stressful situations, and several options to consider. I will try to help you if something happens, always and aim for the best solution, in every situation.

You find it in Mycamper as well. Not as fancy, no heating (which I think you don't need in summer anyways), but also a bit cheaper, and with a bed of 160x200 instead of 120x200. We travel with a baby of now about a year old, and our choice - because of the bed- is, whenever possible, Shtisel.
