Van de Joan

Looking for a getaway full of charm, freedom, and a touch of adventure? This Volkswagen camper is a veteran, simple, and very practical: it’s getting on in years, has a few stories in its bodywork, and plenty of character, but it’s well-maintained and ready to hit the road without any hassle.

It’s not a modern, catalog-model camper—and it doesn’t need to be. It’s the kind that invites you to slow down, open the awning, pull out the chairs, and think, “Well, this is actually pretty nice.”

It has a pop-up roof and two beds: a double bed downstairs and another upstairs, ideal for traveling as a couple, with kids, or simply to sleep with more space and avoid fighting over who gets the “good side.”

Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable getaway: a fridge that works very well—important note: it cools vigorously and can even freeze things—a butane gas stove, a built-in folding table, a 220 V interior outlet, a portable camping shower included, and a polypropylene floor that’s very easy to clean after the beach, dirt, sand, or any “adventure” that gets stuck to your flip-flops.

For off-grid autonomy, it has two batteries, one of which is connected to the solar panel, which powers the fridge and the inverter. It also comes with a battery jump starter, just in case the van ever decides to be a bit sluggish and needs a little moral and electrical boost.

It also features stationary heating for cool nights and cabin air conditioning for hot days.
