STORY

​​​

I was born in Germany in 1977, so I'm 47 years old! And still looking young right?

I start my life as a truck for my boss, an seller in carpets. 

Because my inside is long enough to carry the 4 meter carpetrolls. 

In 2006 I was out of order, my boss didn't want me anymore

Someone came and bought me and I moved to The Netherlands.

I start a new life as a campervan.

Mmm did you know that my original colour is orange?

In 2019 my skin was very crunchy, but my next owner get me a new skin and foundation!

Original I had 6 wheels, twinned wheels on the back, but they want bigger, so I lost 2 wheels but I'm very happy with my new big wheels. ​

Now I'm owned by Gerben and Janine, he is carpenter, she is a nurse and Dutchies. 

They really like it if you wave or thumbs up to them and me.
