András's Camper

Update 16-05-2023: Mitsi now is equiped with a diesel parking heater! The cold weather is not an excuse anymore :)

Our mini camper is called 'Mitsi' named by my mom :) She will be the perfect companion for your travels around the Iberian Peninsula. Ideal for 3, small group of friends or a family, however she can accommodate up to 6 persons too. She has plenty of storage space for your stuff, you can even carry bikes on the roof, in case you are into cycling, just like us.

Mitsi can be relocated for the check in nearby the Airport of Porto and/or the vicinity of Porto, with an extra cost of 36€, and as a welcoming gift I will bring you a bottle of good Portuguese wine! Mitsi is equipped with “Via Verde” identification device (Portuguese toll system), so you do not have to buy tickets to travel on highways. These costs will be deducted from the deposit after your journey.

You'll get the van clean and tidy and ready for your journey. This is the way we would like to get it back too. In case you didn't have the chance to clean it, we are going to deduct a fee of 15€ for exterior and 40€ for interior cleaning from your deposit. Mitsi started her life as a Japanese panel van. Recently she was remodeled, check out the process on Instagram @mitsi_the_campervan She's got a new bed, furniture, storage boxes, curtains, a gutter rack for the roof which will include two bike carriers and an exterior storage box.

Mitsi was transformed into our getaway mini-camper for exploring Portugal and Spain. We love cycling, so she has a rack for bike transportation, also some basic tools for fixing a bike and storage for bike accessories. As mentioned above, she can carry up to 6 persons, so you can go with friends and/or family for a holiday with her.

Although the bed is big (1.5m wide and 2.0m long) it is comfortable only for two adults and an infant (8-10 years max I think). So if you decide to travel with more than three people with Mitsi, you should consider arranging a tent. We were exploring (over the last three years) Northern Portugal and Galicia in Spain, for short breaks. We have been to Algarve, doing more than 1500km with Mitsi.

We can give you a few tips about places to visit and campsites which are great for families. If you prefer mountains, Mitsi can handle that as well, it is not a fast van, but holiday are also not about rushing, especially in Portugal :)

Mitsi is not fast, but nevertheless, a loyal travel companion. She likes to roll at around 100-110 km/h max, but at that speed, she can go around the world easily. Rushing her also doesn´t make much sense, because she will get thirsty, but not much faster.

She has a soul, and a darker past as workhorse in the construction industry, so please do respect that, and let her just enjoy this new traveling lifestyle, and I advise you to do the same! Check out Mitsi, and plan your trip. If you need some help in terms of places to visit and where to ride your bike, just ask us!
