ELTZIEGO – Elciego, in the Basque Country in Spain
ELTZIEGO – Elciego, in the Basque Country in Spain, is a nice little picturesque village where we’d decided to stay for the night in the camper.

There is a beautiful old church, Iglesia de San Andrés, but unfortunately, it was closed during…

ROCAMADOUR, France
ROCAMADOUR, in France, is an extraordinary and spectacular town. To some extent, it seems to be hanging on a high cliff, but still possible to walk around in. And the locals even drive through the narrow streets, partly even in trucks (which sometimes causes chaotic scenes, when the drivers are new to these streets. We drove to Rocamadour as part of a longer trip through…

Gadget Series – No. 13
Here is no. 13 in our little camper gadgets/equipment series. We knew right from the beginning that we wanted an outdoor shower, so the rv dealer mounted it before we got the camper. It’s available from the garage and course, with hot and cold water. The outdoor shower is super practical, not just for normal showers, but also for cleaning footwear, doormats and sometimes even…

Gadget Series – No. 12 – See the video!
Here is then no. 12 in our little camper gadgets series. Well, can a toilet/loo/wc be called a gadget?! Anyway, after thoroughly considering pros and cons and different options, we finally decided to go for the Clesana C1 water free toilet. That was an absolute game changer.

Gadget Series – No. 9
Here is gadget no. 9 in our camper gadgets series. A, or actually two different, mosquito stick relievers. They both work with a heating of the “bitten” spot. The bigger from Beurer, which also works fine, might be a more professional thing, but the little blue one (in a newer model than on the picture), from @heatit.de in Germany, works with any modern smartphone, even iPhone 15…
