Camper upgrade, PASSEPARTOUT

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy

03 September 2013 | Nederland, Assen

First I wanted to convert a VW bus into a camper. After several designs and visits to camper converters I bumped into one of my neighbors who had a VW California Exclusive. I went inside and was immediately convinced that this is the camper for the trip. I could not build a better camper myself. I searched on the web for an affordable version with low millage. I found one in Germany which was just over 10 years old (2001) and only 78.000 km on the clock. After handing over a bag of cash I drove back to Assen without problems. The import and registration went without a hitch. That was in October 2011. Since then I have been upgrading the camper.
The additions are:
- Bear lock
- 240/12 V converter (600 watt) + extra sockets
- Solar pannel (60Wp)
- Mosquito netting for windows and door
- LPG tank (25 L) for camping gas
- SOG toilet air distractor
- Fiamma Ultra-box on a dedicated brackets on the back
- Seikel lift kit
- 5 x Goodridge all terrain tires 215/75 R15

In the mean time the camper has also a name: PASSEPARTOUT

    Frank:

    Knappe verbouwing, hebben net dezelfde, nu is mijn vraag, ben jij tevreden over het vermogen in combinatie met de automaatbak?
    Ikzelf vind het redelijk mak, hebben onlangs de luchtsensor vervangen en al iets beter, maar toch zou ik liever de 150 Pk versie hebben, daar ik volgend jaar de motorfiets(BMW R1150GS/Adventure) wil mee vervoeren op aanhanger.
    Bergen zijn niet de geliefkoosde biotoop voor 102 Pk en een automaat.

    Groetjes,

    Frank,( zit ook op het CE forum)

Rudy

We are a family of 4. Rudy Welling was a Principal Production Technologist with Shell/NAM's offshore team. He first went on sabbatical from April 2014 to April 2016. In that period he made a return trip to Vladivostok with his wife, Jamaliah, in camper Passepartout. This was followed by trips to New Zealand and Spain. In April 2016 Rudy re-joined NAM/Shell again in Assen for a year and then retired in May 2017 after 37 years with Shell. He and his family have spent some 21 years in various Shell locations around the world (NL, UK, Brunei, NL, USA, Nigeria, Oman, NL). Jamaliah Jaja is the Manager of the house and comes from Brunei. Anton (1993) studies Business IT in Groningen Bernard (1994) studies Mechatronics also in Groningen Both boys still live at home, but will have to run the household on their own when we start our trip. Our previous trip by car (Volkswagen Passat Station) was from Oman to Holland in 2007. Rudi's great plan is to travel with his wife in a camper around the world. The trips will be in steps. The first is from Amsterdam to Vladivostok. De second from Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina over the PANAM highway to Prudo Bay in Alaska. Australia and New Zealand will be separate side trips and Africa will either be done out and back from Amsterdam or just from the Cap to Amsterdam. Now as K/O of Rudi's retirement we are making this second step on a journey around the world. We hope you will enjoy our story Rudy & Jamaliah
