My Dreamer D42 has the following dimensions: length 5.41 m; width 2.05 m; height 2.60 m.

It’s incredibly compact, and with a wheelbase of 3.45 m, it’s surprisingly maneuverable and perfectly suited for everyday use.

With the WiPro III alarm system and complete security provided by chains and locks both inside and out, the vehicle is extremely well secured.

Inside the living area, on the driver’s side at the rear, there is a French bed measuring 120x195 mm. The slatted frame folds down on one side, creating a large space between the bed and the bathroom/toilet along the long side, which I use to transport my e-bike, lounge chair, and other items.

The kitchen features a rectangular sink with a fold-down faucet and a 2-burner gas cooktop, both by Dometic, as well as a 90L compressor refrigerator with a freezer compartment by Vitrifigo. There is also a countertop extension.

Under the very comfortable dinette bench is the Truma 4 D, a diesel heater with a 10-liter hot-water boiler also powered by diesel.

You’ll also find the freeze protection system and the auxiliary battery here: a 150-Ah LiFePo4 battery.

This battery is powered by a 140-WP rooftop solar panel and a Victron charger.

The vehicle also features a 25AH charge booster.

The dinette can be converted into a third bed. The table is nice and wide and can be extended with a swiveling additional tabletop, allowing you to eat or work comfortably even from the passenger seat. In addition, the table can be easily hooked into the mounting bracket on the rear kitchen wall, so you can also use it outside.

A 40x40 cm Heki skylight with a blackout shade and mosquito screen is installed above both the dinette and the bed. The bathroom features a 20x20 skylight. The cab has a pleated blackout shade from Remy.

The vehicle is equipped with a Thule awning. The stylish Seitz S4 frame windows round out the look. For easier entry and exit, there is an electric step from Thule with a drive-away safety lock.

For storing luggage and essential items, there are three drawers under the sink and a total of four wall cabinets throughout the vehicle. Under the bed, there are two large open compartments and one large closed compartment. The wardrobe is located above the footwell of the bed. There is also a large open compartment spanning the entire width of the cockpit. In the rear, there is also a gas compartment for an 11-kg cylinder or smaller, since the gas is used only for cooking.

What’s surprising about this small campervan is the size of the bathroom, which runs parallel to the bed and features a sink, a Thetford toilet, and a shower with a curtain. For bathroom essentials, there’s a bathroom cabinet, an open shelf, and a cabinet under the sink.

The reported repaired accident damage included a replaced right side mirror and a new rear bumper—both of which occurred fairly early on due to driving errors while maneuvering at low speeds.

To be on the safe side, I had a distance warning system installed in the new bumper in addition to the existing backup camera.
