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. After many years of ownership, amazing adventures, and disappointment and heartache when things didn’t quite go to plan, the VW T3 we owned became more than just a well equipped box on wheels. It was a bond to us that couldn’t be replaced

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.

    We left Bruges yesterday morning and headed to Ghent, which took less than an hour under poor weather conditions. When travelling abroad I’m used to spending hours behind the wheel between destinations, as we have previously skipped from one country to the next. So this time is nice to be traveling shorter stints, with the…
