## Description

We are Floor and Jan and are crazy about the 70s. Our slogan has always been that we were born in the wrong time.
 That is why we purchased Maxima at the beginning of 2018 and worked on her until the late hours to bring her back to the 1970s as much as possible. The fabric of the sofas, windows and seats has been replaced with the authentic checkered fabric from Volkswagen from the 1970s. We installed extra lighting in the bus, checked safety requirements, completely overhauled the engine and had it repainted. Her interior is still completely original, but it has been re-veneered because it came loose in many places.

 Of course we first went on holiday ourselves with Maxima to see what it's really like with an old camper van. We had never done this before but it was fantastic! Waking up quietly in a place of your choice, having breakfast and doing what you want is a unique experience. First we went to Luxembourg and drove a lot through the mountains and then made a tour around the IJsselmeer. Never knew the Netherlands is so beautiful!!

 There are a number of small storage spaces in the camper. We therefore advise not to bring too many things with you. Because a Volkswagen T2 is extremely suitable for touring, that is an advantage. Roof down, awning in and go!
 We have equipped Maxima with camping equipment as much as possible from previous years. Think of the cups, saucers and plates, but also the retro folding chairs of the past. Even the pan coasters are from the 1970s.

 By folding out the rear seat, a double bed is created. A hammock can also be placed in the front cabin above the seats so that a child up to 110 cm can travel with it. Do you want to go on holiday with the four of you? No problem, we supply a small tent with an air mattress that is easy to set up.

 In addition to the fact that we wanted Maxima for our own holidays, we have always intended to rent Maxima. This to keep her costs down, but also to let others enjoy this experience. It is actually indescribable to drive into a campsite where everyone receives you warmly and wants to hear her story.

 You can imagine that we are very proud and economical of Maxima and want to enjoy her for a long time to come. That is why we have also decided to rent her out on the basis of awarding. This means that if we have any idea during the rental application process that Maxima falls into the wrong hands, the rental will not take place.

 In the camper is a manual 'the bus book' that we have written based on our own experiences during our holidays with Maxima. This contains a good explanation about managing Maxima, but also about the organizational part. For example, cooking, sleeping, poptop roof, filling up with petrol and much more are discussed. This book ensures that you don't need the first three days to get everything in order, but you can start the holiday right from day 1!!

 In the high season (July and August) we have a minimum rental period of 7 days.

 Rent Maxima as a wedding transport? That is also possible!
 For two days we ask €150 euro on top of the normal total rental price.
 For more than two days we charge €100 on top of the normal total rental price.

## Reviews

### Joost - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

We (my daughter of 10 and I) had a fantastic time with Maxima. The contact with Floor via Goboony/mail was pleasant and smooth. This also applies to the personal transfer. Extra compliments for the flexibility!
 In six days we drove via nature campsite Leenderbos (near Eindhoven) to Durbuy (the Ardennes) and back via Valkenburg.
 A fun road trip where Maxima made sure we forgot all sense of time. With her you really have a holiday! She attracts (in a positive way) attention from other road us...

### Elisabeth - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

An unforgettable adventure with an orange touch!

 Our trip with the vintage Volkswagen camper through the North of the Netherlands was fantastic. From the moment we picked up the camper, we immediately felt transported back in time. The camper itself is a beauty: completely in style and in a cheerful orange theme. From the curtains to the cushions, even the tableware has a retro orange hue. That gave the entire trip a cheerful, nostalgic atmosphere. Everything was right - from the interior t...

Perfect

### Herman - 5.0/5
*August 2023*

We made a very nice tour with Maxima around the IJsselmeer. Because Maxima is not that big, there is always a place on a campsite. Everything works perfectly and you really go back in time. Which feels very relaxed. The contact with Floor and Jan went smoothly ...... enthusiastic T2 enthusiasts and very helpful. In short, highly recommended. Herman.

### Tamara - 5.0/5
*June 2023*

We had a great time with Maxima! It was an amazing experience to go camping with this beautiful oldtimer. She is equipped with everything you need for a great camping trip and the bed is very comfortable. The contact with Floor and Jan was also very easy and nice. Thanks a lot :)

### Patrick - 5.0/5
*June 2022*

A very nice camper to go on the road with! Wonderfully 'authentic' but fully equipped and she drives very nicely.

 The landlords are very nice and helpful, before you drive off you will receive excellent instructions so that after the test drive you really go to your destination with a relaxed feeling.

 An absolute must!

### Joyce - 5.0/5
*September 2020*

Highly recommended for those who want to imagine themselves back in time, when driving was still really old-fashioned driving. Maxima does not have all the looks, but also a super nice character. The upholstery is old-fashioned and new-fangled at the same time, she is in possession of the latest gadgets in terms of sound equipment and charging equipment, making sure that you do not lack anything in the electrical field.
 I took Maxima through the idyllic Vosges (this was certainly to her tast...

### Aldo - 5.0/5
*September 2020*

Floor helped us very well and gave clear instructions. Driving in Máxima was a royal experience and the bed in particular is incredibly spacious. Highly recommended!

### Marianne - 5.0/5
*June 2020*

We spent a week simmering through NL with Maxima and that was more than a party. If you like old, cozy, practical and a nice engine sound, it is really nice and relaxed driving with Maxima. We drove along natural waters to swim a lot and along the Maas and Waal to southern Limburg. The Netherlands is beautiful if you stay away from the highway and very diverse in landscape and nature parks.
 The contact with the owners of Maxima has also been very pleasant. And above expectations, the couch t...

### Iris - 5.0/5
*June 2020*

We had a super fun experience with Maxima. The camper has been fully restored, super beautiful and handy! Floor and her husband are also available for questions along the way, very nice with this old lady.
