Van di Antonin

Vanille — our Hanroad Trek 5+XL Extreme Edition, bought new in October 2025. 5.49 m long, 2.00 m high, automatic gearbox. A campervan that drives like a car and heats itself.

NIGHT HEATER: THE SHOULDER SEASON WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Diesel night heater running straight off the vehicle's own tank, plus hot water and an outdoor shower. You sleep warm through September, October and well beyond, with no electric hook-up and no open campsite required. With 200 W of solar panels and the leisure battery, count on 3 full days off-grid.

IT FITS WHERE OTHERS DON'T

5.49 m long, 1.95 m wide, 2.00 m high: it clears most underground car parks, parks in town, and takes the small roads a 7 m motorhome will not attempt. Standard car licence (B), automatic gearbox, power steering, cruise control, parking sensors and reversing camera, central locking, Bluetooth. Diesel, 8-10 l/100 km, 80 l tank.

SLEEPING

Pop-up roof 140 x 195 cm with a proper slatted base. Convertible bench 126 x 192 cm. Sleeps 4, 5 seat-belted travelling seats, 2 Isofix points.

OUTSIDE

Side awning, outdoor table and 4 chairs. XL garage: two bikes, hiking gear or a board fit without argument, on top of the sliding 3-seat bench.

PICK-UP

Paris 13th arrondissement (place Pinel), ten minutes from the ring road. Saint-Denis also possible on request, with secure parking where you can leave your own car during the trip. Handover in person with a 30-minute walkthrough: heating, water, electrics. Then you're off.

EXTRAS

Bed linen, towels, portable toilet and snow chains. Winter tyres fitted. Child seats lent free of charge.

We travel from Paris with our two daughters on a regular basis: the van is looked after as a family vehicle, because that is what it is the rest of the year.
