Camperworld Maastricht and NKC announce strategic partnership

Laura converted a 40-year-old camper, purchased for €6,000, into a roughly 14 m² living space. After discovering rot in the wooden structures, she completely stripped the interior and did almost all the work herself. She estimates conversion and subsequent repair costs at €12,000–15,000. When stationary for long periods, insurance, breakdown cover and road tax cost €250–300 per month; when driving extensively, fuel can push this to around €700. Laura has been travelling for about 18 months, favouring Portugal and southern Spain.

Elektroauto-News has published a review of a fully equipped electric camper based on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, provided by Dutch company Outbase Campervans. The test drive took place in the Netherlands, covering 220 km between Utrecht and the North Sea coast. The ID. Buzz has a WLTP range of up to 458 km, while Outbase claims up to 500 km in real-world conditions; charging the 79 kWh battery from 10 to 80% takes 26 minutes. The Delta conversion includes an electric pop-up roof, two sleeping areas for four people, swiveling front seats, a pull-out kitchen with an induction hob and a 10-liter fresh water tank, plus a 5-liter grey water tank. Storage volume is stated at 1000 liters. The review notes drawbacks: small water tank capacities and the absence of a lid on the grey water tank.

Glaravans has refurbished a 1976 Biod Extase 2L camper, preserving its original fiberglass shell. The project was completed for a private owner and is not for sale. The camper has a GVWR of 750 kg (1,653 lbs) and can be towed in Europe without a special license. The interior features a bed, a modular dinette with a drop-down table, a galley with a sink and fridge, and a toilet. Glaravans, known for restoring vintage campers since 2019, shifted focus to its own camper model in 2026.

In most municipalities in the Netherlands, campers and caravans may be parked in a parking space for no more than 3 days, with some cases allowing one day more or less. Exact rules are set out in the local General Local Ordinance (APV). Some municipalities also restrict vehicle size and prohibit parking within built-up areas. Restrictions may also apply to private parking spaces or driveways if they affect the street scene. Fines for exceeding the limit average around 90 euros.

Willem van Gool from Brabant has lived in his old camper for five years, which he renovated himself. He moved to Friesland for love: he met his girlfriend Joke on a dating site and has since almost always stayed at campsite Fraai in Haulerwijk. The camper is named Hannes after Willem's grandfather and because the renovation was a lot of hassle. Inside, Willem created a colourful interior with Viking paintings.
