With its dimensions, notably its 1.99 meter allowing it to pass under most height bars, and its 150 horsepower engine, it is very maneuverable and goes everywhere... or almost... Indeed, it is not yet 4x4!

With its DSG7 automatic gearbox and its large 80 liter fuel tank, it is very durable. In addition, it is equipped with remote programmable stationary heating, drawing on diesel, a real plus for cool mountain nights.

To ensure everyone's comfort and the ideal nighttime configuration, we offer it for rental for a maximum of 4 people:

• 2 at the top, under the lifting roof, with a bed on a 120x200cm box spring (a safety net is provided, if necessary),

• 2 below, on the bench seat with a foldable comfort mattress, 150x200cm. Remember to bring your duvets/duvet and pillows, we provide the mattress pads.

This vehicle is equipped with an integrated mini-kitchen and everything you need to enjoy VANLIFE: camping table and 4 chairs, 35 liter compression cooler, dishes, 15 liter jerry can, outdoor stove and a small grocery store. extra (coffee, tea, salt and pepper, aluminum foil, toilet paper, sponge, organic dishwashing liquid, first aid kit, tea towels, etc.).
