We have owned our first campervan, Wolfgang, since 2014, and named it thus due to its unbreakable connection with Germany, and the fact the van was produced in Wolfsburg.

No older than junior, but he’s bigger, and we enjoy the fact that we can more effectively wilde camp in it, as it has a boiler and shower.
