Basic guide to travelling in a Camper for the first time.

Campervan travel is becoming more and more fashionable. And it’s no wonder: freedom, sustainability, adventure and new experiences come together in this new way of travelling. Are you preparing for your trip in a van but need help figuring out where to start? Don’t worry; at VanVaz we have the advice you need for your first campervan trip.

1. Plan your trip

A campervan trip allows you to feel a real sense of freedom. You will finally be the master of your schedule. But be careful; that doesn’t mean you don’t have to plan your route, at least initially.

On your campervan trip, there is always room to improvise and let yourself be carried away by the moment, but it is advisable to take at least an indicative list of places to visit and where to sleep. When you’re on the road after a day of sightseeing, you’ll appreciate a clear idea of where to go next.

2. Remember: In the camper, less is more

A great way to experience minimalist living. Don’t worry; in your camper, you’ll have everything you need to make your trip a great one. Take your time and remember: the experience is not material.

El espacio es oro cuando viajas en furgoneta, este nuevo estilo de viaje te ayudará a renunciar a los “por si acasos” y apreciar lo que verdaderamente es importante. 

3. Can I sleep anywhere?

One of the classic questions for the first campervan trip. The answer is simple: yes, as long as you comply with the particular regulations. In other words, the vehicle must be parked properly and in an authorised area.

In this sense, campers have a more secure overnight stay than motorhomes, as many places frequented by campers have limitations on vehicle dimensions that do not apply to vans.

Do you need more information about this? Don’t hesitate to ask us. Your VanVaz VanStyle Advisor has the answers you need.

4. Entertainment is key

The day has 24 hours, and on your holiday, you want to save all of them. An expert traveller’s tip is always to take just the right amount of training to rest during the “dead hours” without being bored.

 Also, road trips are much more enjoyable with a soundtrack to suit the passengers’ tastes. If you are the co-driver, you can keep the entertainment going even when the camper is on the road.

Go for the adventure!

With these tips, you are more than ready to embark on one of the experiences that will mark your life. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never travel any other way again. Enjoy the freedom of a new type of tourism that allows you to make the most of the adventure. Do you need more rabbits? At VanVaz you will find your VanStyle Advisor to help you.
