1. You can save a lot of money on transport, accommodation and food.

One of the biggest advantages of travelling by camper van is that you save a lot of money. You'll spend less on transport, accommodation and food because you'll be able to take everything you need with you. 

All of this means huge savings, making any trip much more feasible, as you won't need as much budget.

If you electrify your van while you're at it and add solar panels, investors and other devices required for an electrical installation of this type, you can significantly improve your range and make your journeys even cheaper.

2. You can enjoy all the comforts of home in your camper van.

In a camper van you don't have to sacrifice the comforts you have at home. With an inverter like the Victron Multiplus 12/2000 installed in the battery of your van, you can connect your electrical devices. So you can take everything from coolers to computers and other equipment with you.

This alone gives van travel a huge advantage over other forms of travel where you have to sacrifice a lot to get from one place to another. 

3. You have much more autonomy and freedom to travel wherever you want.

If there is one thing that makes camper vans stand out, it is their autonomy, you don't have to worry about flight, train or bus schedules, and you don't have to adjust to limiting travel conditions. 

With a camper van, you can define your own travel route, you can stay in one place or region as long as you like, visit the places you want and move at your own pace.

4. You will have more privacy on your travels

When you travel, it is common for you to have to use mass transport, such as planes and trains, and to be accommodated in crowded spaces or establishments. 

By contrast, when travelling in a camper van, you decide who you take with you and you can travel on your own and keep your privacy as much as you want.

5. You can take your pets with you

Taking your pets with you when you travel is difficult, both your accommodation and the means of transport you use can make it difficult. However, if you travel in your camper van you can take all your pets with you without any problems - after all, you set the rules.

6. You are closer to nature 

Many tourist sites and natural regions of the world have areas that you can visit with your van and stay in. 

So instead of having to stay in a hotel or some other establishment in the city, and instead of spending fortunes on more secluded accommodation, you can enjoy nature in your van, camp in remote locations and generally experience your trip on a closer level.

Best of all, your van will also give you, at the same time, much more comfort than you would have if you camped in other ways.

7. It is easy to drive

Unlike similar vehicles, such as motorhomes, camper vans are quite easy to drive because they are not as big. Apart from the fact that it is a larger vehicle, you will hardly notice any difference between driving a campervan and driving a car.
