Bets – 4-seater Mercedes-Benz campervan from 1997

Our Bets is a charming, compact camper with character – perfect for a relaxed trip in the Netherlands or just across the border in Belgium. With her cozy, recently refurbished interior, she has taken us to the most beautiful places in Europe for years. Now, as a family, we have outgrown her and want to give others the same wonderful experiences.

Due to the age of the camper, we deliberately rent it out only in the Netherlands and (by arrangement) Belgium. Technically, it is well-maintained and reliable, but it is still an older van – that means: drive slowly and enjoy the journey instead of rushing 😊

🚐 The camper

It is a Mercedes Benz Vito W638 (1997) with a nice, compact design (± 4.5 meters long and 1.95 meters high). As a result, it drives and parks surprisingly easily, almost like a regular car.

Manual (5 gears)
Diesel
4 seats with seatbelts
Air conditioning while driving
Swivel front seats → cozy seating area

The camper drives well, but we recommend accelerating and shifting gears gently given its age.
