Kastenwagen von Nicolas

Travel with peace of mind aboard this converted Challenger 114 van, based in Alsace (Schiltigheim), just steps from Germany and Switzerland. Designed for travelers who want total autonomy without sacrificing comfort—whether as a couple, with friends, or as a family with two children.

The van accommodates 4 people thanks to its modular beds. It features a fully equipped kitchen, hot water, Truma Combi heating for cool nights, and integrated toilet and shower. Solar panels provide electrical autonomy while off-grid, allowing you to charge smartphones or tablets without relying on a campsite hookup.

Need affordable bikes for your trip? Two almost-new gravel bikes (versatile on roads and trails, sizes L and M) are available as an optional rental so you can explore directly from your spot. (U-locks provided.) The rear bike rack can carry up to 2 bikes, including e-bikes or children’s bikes—perfect if you bring your own.

From Strasbourg, Europe opens up to you in just a few hours: the Alsace Wine Route, the Black Forest, Lake Constance, Burgundy, Switzerland—a week on the road is enough for an unforgettable grand tour.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Couples, families with two children, and globe-trotting friends—this van is for those who want the freedom of wild camping without compromising on comfort. Ideal for cycling enthusiasts, hikers, food lovers, and cultural explorers all over Europe.
