Camper descriptions

The Knaus SportTraveller 590, 8 January 2017, available in Greece-Athens
The Knaus is a compact format conventional RV with a length of 5.80 overall making it a prime suspect for paying the lowest fare tolls and low ferry tickets. In this compact format there is space for: A double alcove bed (1450x2000), an extendable dinette (1350x1950), a 3 herd gas stove, a microwave grill oven (only 220 V), a bathroom with shower, hot water gas boiler and very efficient gas heated duct air. Also 80 liter fresh water tank and 100 ltr grey water tank.

Enter the camper from the right. Alcove is straight ahead.

It is currently being refurbished in Athens where it is being equipped with electric windows, central locking (I pray it will work), new panoramic rear view mirrors, photovoltaic 40W panels and a rudimentary alarm system.
This little gem is also equipped with two gas bottles and a obscuring vertical roman blind behind the driving compartment.

What are the upsides of compact campers?
1. More stable when cornering, larger campers have a tendency to roll quite a lot.
2. Lower fares on toll roads and boats.
3. Can be parked in most normal parking spaces.
4. Easier to reverse.

The sweet Hymer Exsis

The Hymer Exsis SG, 8 February 2017, available in Sweden-Malmö
Starting with the Hymer Exsis SG: Currently sleeping in sweet winter hibernation at Bromölla Caravan Centre at Bromölla in southern Sweden. You can see it from the motorway, if you pass by.
Being an avid fan of compact and inventive solutions the Hymer lights all my bulbs, or LED:s if you wish. It was made only during six years and started life in a custom, highly secret factory of its own.
The Hymer Exsis SG has its own user club and a massive following. What makes it special is its luxurious base configuration (huge roof window, electrical windows, AC, remote central locks, aerodynamic front) and of course, the fact that it is not a rebuilt van but still no wider than a van.
Feels much like driving a car. No wonder the test results are top notch. Still, price was a bit too high for the average buyer so the Exsis SG was discontinued.

The current status
The status now is that the add ons are coming in place: The flexible 40W solar panels with regulators have just been mounted. The GPS trackers are mounted. The engraving machine is ready and purring, the Hymer will be engraved with the registration number in 30 places, all on metal. The registration number will also be painted on the roof with big black letters, everything to make presumptive thieves lose their interest.
The video of the Hymer is on the way.
The Hymer will be ready to test drive as of April 1st. Very Welcome!

Here comes the winter in Sweden, as well as in Greece! Good planning to have the camper in Greece fitted with winter tyres!

Coffee break in the Italian alps. First sun of the trip.

Ooohhhh! Back from 14 days with Hymer Exsis, where it really showed flying colors. Downpour in Germany and France, off-road like main roads in Italy and mountains up and down in Greece as well as manoeuvering in tightly packed sreets in Athens. No problem whatsoever, apart from a tyre puncture.
We used the German motorways to coast along at a sweet pace of around 120 km/hour. Easy. Then we enetered north-eastern France and drove along the winding roads of the Alsace Wine Route. Winery after winery and several wine tasting feasts were highlights of our 2 days there.
Parking overnight at the StPeters church (oldest in France) created a wake up shock when the church bells started chiming at 7 am. We did not know that it was bank holiday Monday!

Photo from the Italian motorway, off Verona

After Alsace and with a considerably heavier Hymer we crossed Switzerland into north eastern Italy. We drove to the Miasto meditation centre outside Sienna, where at least the undersigned meditated and hopefully became a snippet more enlightened. We visited Sienna itself with its magnificent central square, had an absolutely delicious lunch at an unobtrusive trattoria off the square and managed to get lost a few times whern navigating to Firenze to visit famous parks.

This is from the Medici gardens at Firenze

We then steered through Tuscany and its amazingly bumpy main roads and impressive "Castellos" overlooking small villages atop sweet hills, to Ancona where we grabbed the boat to Patras in Greece. An uneventful trip that led us to two days in Aigion, on the Pelopponese between Patras and the Corinth canal. The beauty of the place was, to say the least, astounding.
Aigion is next to the sea but still only 30 minutes to 2000 mtr mountain tops.
We visited the World Heritage Pantokrator monastery with attached duck pond, birds in a cage and a tap in the rock with holy water. We also bought rose petal marmalade and capris leaves in brine.
Of course, we also donned bags of local wine and 10 kilos of home pressed oil at Petros house close to the monastery. To be continued, it is past midnight.

Lemons from outside the apartment door at Greek Aigion.

Everywhere a symphony of colors. This is Aigion in Greece.

At last a bit calm and relax. All campers have now been readied for the season, upgraded, serviced and pampered and all are out on adventures.

The solar panel control unit

a) The Hymer is currently enjoying clients from Oman. The Hymer has also had a solar panel installed as well as the reversing camera.

b) The Knaus Sporttraveller has had a solar panel installed, an alarm system, remote control locking and the bathroom/shower fully refurbished. The carpet has been washed and motor oil and filter changed. The Knaus is currently serving a six day stint in Sweden with Spanish users, after having catered in Denmark for three Finnish anglers.
I can tell you it is an outright issue to wash these vehicles. Glad there are citrus based products around, they manage to clean all streaks. Actually, it is easy to make a citrus based cleaner yourself, there are loads of recipes on the web, I recommend a mix of lemon peel, white vinegar and cleaners alcohol, let to soak for a day before sifting and using.

Ok dear friends and travellers
Time to get the campers up and running, at least that goes for the Hymer. The Knaus is already in Greece and ready to be rented. Just had the GPS tracker mounted and solar panel and regulator.
Weather ought to be fine in summer, especially July is a great month to enjoy in Sweden.
One of my customers plans to ride down to Spain with the camper, that should be sure-fire warm weather!


Wish to test the Hymer during this period? Very welcome to Bromölla, I can pick you up there if you travel by train or drive directly to Biskopsmålavägen in Olofström.
