Meet Master Renault ~ Our Norway Home on Wheels!

 We had only two requirements for our camper van in Norway:

  1. It had to have a bathroom.
  2. Brad had to be able to stand without hitting his head (well, too many times😉). 
Meet Master Renault!


Suzanne had to climb-up a bit to get into the bed. We each had separate heavy down comforters which we loved. We also brought our camping bag liners, which we slept in under the down comforters - and on especially cold nights, wearing our base layer (think: long johns). Yes, the camper van had heat (when it worked - more on that much later), but we did not feel safe leaving it on at night (there was no carbon monoxide detector). Even when cold at night (30's & 40's), we were very comfortable and warm. 


The bathroom. We used the toilet ( even while one of us was driving), but never the shower.....

...because, seriously...there was just not enough room!



Dining and driving area......Hi Brad! ✋


Perspective of the interior height....Brad is a skosh more than 6 feet. 

(However, we were in Norway so let's rephrase: Brad is a skosh more than 19.8 meters.😏)


Even a lounging area! 

We LOVED driving and vacationing in the camper van. In part, because of Norway's (all of Scandinavia, actually) principle of 
Allemannsretten - the Right to Roam. Basically, everyone has the right to enjoy the land. In terms of camping, that means that as long as one stays more than150 meters away from private property, then they can stay overnight. The entire country is outfitted for this  - we could get fresh drinking water for free in many places, dump the toilet cartridge (more on that later), dump gray water, take showers and do laundry,  etc...
