Do you want to relax in a good, spacious retro camper with a large and soft bed? Then our Sweet Pastry from 1989 is exactly what you are looking for.
General:
It has been in our family since 1998 and we recently started renting it out to share the fun. It is a sweet, modest camper with an alcove and a bed of 120x200. The living area consists of a large and a small train seat with 4+2 places that can be transformed together into a spacious bed of 180x200. There is a new mattress at the top, and we have a nice top deck at the bottom. At the back of the camper is a kitchen with a 4-burner stove and a refrigerator (electricity/gas). There is also a bathroom with toilet and sink. There are several cupboards (hanging and upper cupboards) in which items can be stored. To have a little more shade while camping, our camper has a roll-out awning. It also has 1 outdoor table and 4 chairs (2 folding chairs and 2 folding chairs). If it gets a bit colder, there is a portable gas heater on board (new). Furthermore, complete camping equipment is available (including plates, cutlery, tea towels, pans, cafetière, whistling kettle and all kinds of camper supplies).
Because our Pastry is a bit older, she does not accelerate quickly and cannot drive very fast (90 km/h on the highway) and she sometimes has difficulty with steep slopes (we do not recommend a mountain pass in the Alps...). She is strong, she can easily carry 2 bicycles on her back. Last year she went to the South of France and Norway, but she also enjoys traveling quietly through the Netherlands or Germany. She likes to drink diesel, has recently been freshened up inside and has new tires (July 2021), had a service and the brake system has been overhauled. For safety, there is a smoke and gas detector + 2x a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket.
** In short, she is eager to go out with you! **
Beds and comfort:
The bed downstairs is large and soft. So big that here... also 3 smaller children can sleep. There is a top deck on this. There is a good mattress at the top of the cozy alcove (not a camping mattress). There are also several large storage bins under the benches in the living area. To sleep well at night, there are also 2 swing-out legs that can stabilize your camper so that it does not shake back and forth. For the colder evenings there is also a (new) portable gas heater, which is very nice. We also have a few comfortable camping chairs and an outdoor rug measuring 3.5x2m so you can sit comfortably.
Kitchen:
Completely equipped with, among other things, cafetière, whistling kettle, cooking pan, frying pan, saucepan, salad bowl, 4 large plates, 4 small plates, cutlery, garlic press, can opener, wine opener, spatulas, tea towel 2, kitchen towel 2, dish cloths 2, tray, waste bin, washing up bowl, washing up brush , 6 plastic cups, 4 enamel cups, 2 wine glasses.
Toilet:
The Thetford toilet cassette is removable and comes with household gloves and a bottle of toilet fluid. The bathroom also has 2 wall cabinets, a large mirror and sink.
Outside:
The awning can be rolled out, it is easiest to do this with 2 people. It has 4 legs and a storm strap so that it stands firmly. Would like to roll in in strong winds. For sunny days there are new sunshades (June 2022) that you can attach to the inside of the windscreen. This helps keep the heat out and functions well as a blackout curtain (the other curtains are also blackout).
Out of season:
Sweet Pastry is not really suitable for use in winter. When it is frost, she is kept in the shed. If the weather is nice in the period November-February, she will be happy to go out with you (in consultation) and there is a new portable gas heater on board (February 2022) for warmth. You will have to boil or get hot water at the campsite. It may be cold.
Pick up and return:
On the collection day, Lief Gebakje will be ready for you clean and sound. We like it when she is returned broom clean. We arrange the pick-up times in consultation, it depends on your wishes and the options on the day itself, a lot is possible.
Nice extras:
The alcove allows you to drive on the highway with the windows open without being bothered by the wind (really). A new reversing camera and water pump for the living area have been installed (April 2022), a new alcove window (April 2023) and a new starter and house battery (May and June 2023). And if you rent Lief Gebakje, you will receive a booklet from us in advance with a description of the camper and what is available, very handy and good for the anticipation :-)
