ICONIC SURFER VAN WITH WOODEN INTERIOR.
"Dr fröhlichi Ferdinand" is a true surfer/boarder/freerider van. With its natural wood interior, stunning turquoise lagoon exterior, and red rims, it's a real head-turner.
A beast that's perfect for cruising, yet packs a serious punch, easily tackling inclines and reaching remote surf or freeride spots.
Also ideal for diving holidays, mountain biking trips, SUP excursions, hiking vacations, or simply chilling in nature, enjoying a coffee and the peace and quiet by a mountain lake, or letting the sea breeze ruffle your hair. The possibilities are endless.
The two sliding doors offer great flexibility when searching for overnight accommodations. He handles every situation with ease :)
His automatic transmission works flawlessly and is incredibly easy to drive.
The comfortable double bed (140x160cm) can be extended by 40cm to accommodate even the tallest camper (2m).
Cooking can be done indoors or outdoors. The two-burner gas stove is portable and can be used wherever you like.
If needed, we can provide a camping table, chairs, and dishes.
The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with three-point seatbelts, and the front seat has a lap belt. This allows a child to travel in a child seat in the front.
A large refrigerator can be powered by the 230V camping connection or the auxiliary battery. Two 20L fresh water canisters. A spare fuel canister.
Various tools, spare engine and automatic transmission oil, first-aid kit, camping lanterns, trash can, etc. Everything you need for comfortable camping...
"Dr. Fröhlichi Ferdinand" can be picked up in Allschwil, or we can deliver it to your desired address in Basel for a small additional fee.
Long-term rentals longer than 3 weeks are also possible. Please inquire about special rates. We'd be happy to provide you with a non-binding quote :)
Maximum cruising speed: 100 km/h
"Dr. Fröhlichi Ferdinand" is already 35 years old. He may be an oldie, but for his age, he's still in excellent condition and ready for almost anything. All in all, he's a super reliable companion and open to the wildest, most exciting adventures of all kinds...
See you soon. Nicolas & Dr. Fröhlichi Ferdinand

Freundlicher und unkomplizierter Kontakt - gerne wieder! Der Blue Balu war ein treuer Begleiter und hat sich auf unserer langen Reise tapfer gehalten :)
Bus dürfte bei Übergabe noch etwas sauberer sei...
Amazing campervan had everything we needed.
Nicolas was great at check in and explained everything in great detail :)

Nicolas ist sehr unkompliziert. Alles war super. Das Fahrzeug ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber alles funktionstüchtig, ein Nostalgie Fahrzeug. DANKE immer wieder.
