## House Rules

| Rule | Status |
|------|--------|
| **Smoking Allowed** | No |
| **Pets Allowed** | No |
| **International Travel** | Yes |
| **Winter Sports** | No |
| **Festivals Allowed** | No |
| **Mountain Trips** | Yes |
| **Minimum Driver Age** | 25 years |

### Additional Rules

Pick up and drop off:
 Flexible and negotiable, much is possible.

 Cleaning:
 Gouwe Ouwe is clean, fully equipped and with a full tank ready for you. We expect the camper to be swept clean, full of fuel and with an empty toilet.

 Driving behavior:
 It all goes a bit slower and the driving characteristics are “nostalgic”. The camper is not equipped with power steering or ABS, but the steering is light.

 Driving in the mountains is possible, but requires driving experience, anticipatory driving behavior and patience.

 On the highway the "cruising speed" is 90kmh. Our camper is not suitable for a "quick" two-week trip to Italy (or something like that)

 We have had this camper for 6 years now. In these 6 years the camper has been all over Europe without any breakdowns or inconveniences. We are very careful with the maintenance.

 If you do not comply with the traffic rules and you receive a fine, this will be charged to the renter.

 PLEASE NOTE, not allowed in or with the camper:
 - Pets, the camper is pet-free
 - Smoking
 - Festival visit

 If it appears that the above is not complied with, we will charge costs.

 You can always call or text us during your holiday, we are here for you.

 The house rules may seem a bit strict, but we are very careful with the camper and handle it with care. We hope our tenant does the same.

 In short, what we ask of you is:
 - To treat the camper with loving attention and respect
 - Read the supplied manual carefully and use the camper accordingly

### Jan - 5.0/5
*August 2025*

Made an appointment with music friends to go to a campsite with a small harbour for a weekend.
 One couple are seasoned camper users and the other couple have a sailing yacht.
 This was a perfect opportunity for us to rent a campervan, which we had often fantasised about.
 Esther and Chris had the &quot;Golden Oldie&quot; waiting for us. A real gem to behold.
 The camper is completely new and contemporary, both inside and out.
 We received a good explanation of how everything worked and we received a c...

*July 2024*

Last week I went out with the &quot;Golden Oldie&quot;
 It took some getting used to driving such a Golden Oldie, but in the end it went very smoothly
 We drove quietly from Friesland to Drenthe.
 Once you arrive at your destination, you have everything at hand.
 This camper is fully equipped and has a good bed, so what more could you want?
 Contact with Chris and Esther went very well and they responded quickly to questions.
 Good explanation from Chris on the use of this &quot;Golden Oldie&quot;
 Thank you for...

### Anne - 5.0/5
*August 2022*

We had the camper with us for a few days as a &#39;sleeping place&#39; during a 4-day trip as corps supervisors during the WMC in Kerkrade. We had it on the grounds of the camping farm under the trees, absolutely fine.
 The bed (converted dinette) is completely top in terms of length and width. We slept wonderfully.
 Really everything you need is on board, everything has been thought of.
 The seats in the front are fantastic.
 The only downside for us was the noise of the engine, but that was inheren...

### Esther - 5.0/5
*May 2022*

A great experience to be able to drive Esther's 'golden oldie'. Nostalgia at its best!! Camper is equipped with everything you need to make a nice holiday trip! If you like to relax and want to avoid highways, then this camper is definitely recommended

### Arjen - 5.0/5
*August 2021*

Went to the Ardennes with my son for a midweek with this loyal giant.
 A fantastic experience!
 The bus is not fast, but it is very reliable.
 The holiday starts when you get behind the wheel.
 Very nice comments along the way.
 Had a great explanation from Chris who really took the time for this.
 Can highly recommend this camper to other people.

### Kelly - 5.0/5
*August 2021*

From 3 to 13 August we have been on the road with the &quot;Gouwe Ouwe&quot;. From Friesland to Northern France, back to Friesland and then to Germany, 3000 km driven. You should not expect to drive quickly from one place to another, but that was not the intention, after all, it was a holiday. What a nice experience this was, wonderful feeling of freedom. When you arrive at your destination, you put the chairs outside and you&#39;re done. Everything you need is at hand. We have only used 2x power supply at...

### Marianne - 4.0/5
*August 2021*

With great pleasure we were able to use the Gouwe Ouwe for two weeks during our holiday in the Netherlands. The camper has been nicely refurbished and has always taken us from A to B. Driving is a bit heavier, making the camper particularly suitable for national use. The owners Esther and Chris are also very friendly and ready to help if you have any questions.
