Carpenter from Stubenberg converts camper van: sleeping and dining with 170 hp

The Austrian Camping Club (ÖCC) has published recommendations for festival-goers without camping experience. For comfortable sleep, it recommends using a caravan or a small camper van, which provide protection from weather and secure storage. For occasional campers, igloo tents are suitable due to quick setup. Attention should be paid to the tent's water column and a PVC sheet under the floor to prevent moisture. Essential items include wet wipes, disinfectants, flashlights, power banks, and earplugs.
