Herbert is more than just a camper - he was our reliable companion for short trips to Bavaria, Thuringia and the Baltic Sea. But he also provided us with very pleasant trips on longer journeys, such as to France and Italy. And even for a housewarming party and a wedding, Herbert was not too bad and gave us a cozy night in the garden.

With Herbert you have a pleasant and reliable cruising speed of approx. 110km/h, when things are going well he can even manage 120 to 130km/h. One tank of fuel will take you about 800km. It has a motorhome license and costs us around €250 for insurance per season. It is currently still registered until the end of October this year, test drives are possible.

Why we are selling it

As difficult as it is for us, Herbert is unfortunately no longer big enough for our family with children and a large dog. He deserves new owners who enjoy uncomplicated camping and appreciate his charming nature.

Please get in touch if you are interested - Herbert is looking forward to new adventures!
