On the Dutch platform Marktplaats, a 1980s Volkswagen LT35 camper is listed for €2,000. The seller targets festival-goers (e.g., Zwarte Cross) and DIY enthusiasts. The vehicle is fully equipped for living: sleeping area, kitchen, cabinets. The LT35 was produced from 1975 to 1996, known for its simple construction and affordable parts.
Meanwhile, experts caution: buying a used integral camper for €40,000 may seem attractive, but real costs include vehicle tax, fuel, maintenance, and storage. Such vehicles often weigh over 3.5 tonnes, requiring a B-category license and increasing tax. Fuel consumption can reach 12 L/100 km, and repairs of complex systems (e.g., panoramic windshield) are expensive. Experts recommend calculating a five-year budget including all fixed and variable costs.
