Knausje – On the road with the Knaus alcove camper!

Dear travelers,

We rent Knausje for trips within the Benelux, France and West Germany.
This camper is not suitable for winter sports because there are no winter tires underneath.

We rent to a maximum of two adults of at least 26 years. Please note: you will have your B driving license for at least three years under the insurance. There is room for one or two small children. Please note: there are garden chairs for two adults, but we do not have outdoor chairs for children, so you must bring your own.
There is a double bed in the spacious alcove. You can easily sleep here with two adults without getting in each other's way. You can also turn the table into a narrow double bed. This is ideal for two children or one adult. You bring your own pillows and bedding (sheets, blankets or sleeping bags). The alcove has new, clean mattresses with a mattress protector and bottom sheet. If you also want to use the dinette as a bed, you will receive an extra bottom sheet. Request this in advance.

Knausje has sanitary facilities (shower, toilet, sink and some small cupboards.) The toilet is suitable for small errands. Toilet flushing materials are provided. For the big message you have to rely on a toilet building or (if you go off grid) the great outdoors.

Off grid, is that also possible? Of course. With our mobile solar panel you get complete freedom. With Knausje you can be without electricity for about three days. If you don't have to charge too much equipment, the household battery will last. Do you want to camp for longer without being dependent on campsites or camper pitches? Then rent our mobile solar panel for €35.00 per week. You don't pay for electricity at the campsites and you can stay wherever you want, for as long as you want.

The kitchen contains a 3-burner gas stove, refrigerator, freezer and various cupboards. Cutlery, pans, plates, cups, everything is there. Also spatulas, a soup spoon, a whisk, etc. Even kitchen textiles are ready for you. We will give you two full gas bottles and you will return them full. The gas is used to heat the stove and water and for cooking. Our experience is that we use less than half a bottle of gas in two weeks in the summer. Especially if you shower at a campsite, you will not run out of gas. If both bottles are empty, you can have them filled or exchange them. This is possible abroad at gas stations and hardware stores. In Europe you can always find the bottles that we use here. Please make sure that you do not bring back a different foreign bottle, because we cannot fill it here and then we will have to charge you for a bottle.

Once you have found a nice spot, level the camper on blocks (supplied). Within two minutes you can sit comfortably on the included relax chairs under the awning. We will also provide you with a table and a few loose chairs. If you like cycling, use the bicycle carrier. The camper may have a maximum loaded weight of 3400 kg. This means that you can take two electric bicycles with you. But we do recommend that you check on a weighbridge somewhere to see if your total weight is not too much. This is possible at almost all recycling centers and is usually free. Electric bicycles sometimes weigh a bit and you don't want to be stopped abroad if you are overweight because then you have to leave things behind before you can continue riding. Our experience is that even with our bicycles on the back we can still take enough clothing and food with us. But you better be sure.

If you want to bring your dog or cat with you, no problem. One pet is allowed. The camper is sprayed against fleas before each rental period, but of course you ensure that your pet is pest-free before you board.

You can listen to music via the on-board radio with remote control, CD player, Blue Tooth and USB input. There are speakers in the living room.

The water tank can hold 100 liters. We fill it half full so that you carry less weight while driving. The drain water goes into the waste water tank that you can empty at most camper pitches and campsites in Europe. Before returning the camper, empty the waste water tank and the toilet tank and clean the toilet thoroughly.

Smoking is allowed in our camper. However, limit smoking as much as possible. Smoking outside is preferred. Please note: damage/burn marks/etc. on the interior will be deducted from your deposit.

Knausje is equipped with a Track & Trace system to prevent theft.
There is no GPS (navigation system) on board. You can of course take this with you yourself.

If you rent our camper, you will of course receive an explanation of how everything works, but because your head may already be on holiday, we will also give you a folder that explains exactly what all the buttons are for, where the fuel cap is located and answers to all possible questions. . And of course you can always call.
But for now I would say: just book that camper. Because with Knausje the holiday starts with anticipation.
