In Brief

Lise and Torben Nielsen upgraded a 2000 caravan for 150,000 Danish kroner and live in it most of the year at Sandersvig Camping.

Danish couple Lise and Torben Nielsen spend most of the year in a caravan they bought in 2000 and upgraded for 150,000 Danish kroner (about 20,000 euros). They installed an IKEA kitchen and a terrace, making their home more like a summer house.

The couple lives at Sandersvig Camping between Haderslev and Christiansfeld in southern Denmark. In 2024, motorhome bookings rose by 32%, and Denmark recorded about 12 million camping overnight stays. Last year, the South Denmark region led the country in camping overnight stays.

Lottery winner buys new caravan but forgets the car

However, she overlooked that her car could not tow such a heavy trailer, so she had to invest in a new car as well. This is not the first such oversight for the couple: previously they bought a car without a tow bar, and after installing one, they found it still couldn't tow their then-caravan.
