I'm Lexi and this is my tiny Van Pepe :) together we have been traveling all over Europe for the past years. 5 years ago I started organizing a meet-up for all Kei Campers in Germany and its growing every year.

QUESTIONS
During the pandemic I wanted to find a way to be able to travel but had no idea how to convert a big van. So I searched for small vans and found Koermi and her Patscho, which inspired me to find a van like this, too.
The Rooftop
to use as much recycled material as possible (wood I found on the streets, kitchenstuff from Ebay Kleinanzeigen,...)
The whole layout of the inside
Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, Austria
I had no idea about cars, engines etc. - so it was a bit of a gamble
The size
I can easily push Pepe on my own. Pepe has already traveled on a car train. Pepe's left sliding door has been broken for three years, and I still haven't repaired it.
Afrika
Check for overheating problems and if they already have been solved maybe!
