Campervan Bob is our cosy old man, quietly doing his job. It is a reliable California with everything that other VW campervans have. Its setup is a bit different compared to the newer models, however negligible.
Location
Like all our campervans, Bob’s home is in Sandefjord town, 15 minutes from Torp Airport (TRF) and 1,5 hours from Oslo. Those three locations are where we personally deliver the campervans to you. Both Sandefjord and Oslo are great starting points to embark on an unforgettable campervan road trip in Norway.
Layout
In the front cab, you will find two single seats, both on a swivel base. The rear seat comes with two seat belts and it is a foldable bed for two as well. The second bed for two is found under the pop-up roof, which can also be secured to the ceiling while open, which gives you enough space to stand in the car. The pop-up roof has side “walls” made out of tent fabric with insect nets in its windows. Sleeping bags follow in the campervan, together with pillows, sheets and bedding. To have nice and cosy nights on your trip in whatever weather, the campervan comes with a parking heater that can run for a whole night.
Kitchen
The indoor kitchen comes with a double gas stove fueled by a 2 kg gas bottle, a sink with running water (cold) and 30 l fresh (in the trunk) and grey (under the car) water tanks. The top loading 30 l fridge will keep your beer cold. The cupboard is filled with all the necessary dishes and utensils you might need for your camping cooking.
Storage
The back of the campervan has several small storage places, great for your personal things that you need to have by hand. Bob is a compact campervan and the space for your luggage is limited. There is a water tank in the trunk, taking about 30 cm out of it. If you wish to explore Norway on bicycles, a bike rack can be added to your rental.
Electricity
All electric devices such as a fridge, lights, USB outlets and a diesel heater are powered by two leisure batteries that charge while you drive. If you need more power, you can connect the campervan to 220 V at camping sites. Charge your devices by plugging them into USB ports or you can add a voltage converter to your campervan rental and charge at 220 V while driving.
Driving
For the driving part of your journey, Bob has comfy armrests, storage compartments in the cab, a radio and just as in all of our campervans a phone holder. It is a manual transmission vehicle and runs on diesel. Its 80-litre tank can drive you up to 1000 km away!
