What's included

Knowing what to expect

Shoebill Campervan offers you a fully equipped van with all the essentials for worry-free travel.


Everything you need :

  • Complete bedding: no need to worry about sheets and blankets, everything is provided for two people. Perfect for a comfortable night's sleep wherever you are !
  • 110-liter water tank: you have water for cooking, washing and dishwashing. The water is officially non-potable, but ideal for all these uses.
  • Tools and accessories: basic tools (flashlight, rope, screwdriver, hatchet, etc.) are available in the van in case of need.
  • Cooking on the road: we leave basic consumables such as oil, salt, pepper and even soap for cleaning.
  • Cooler: a cool compartment is provided to keep your food cold. Remember to use ice packs to prevent water from stagnating​.
  • Électricité et batterie : the van is equipped with a long-life battery and inverter so you can charge your small appliances or run your lights without worry.
  • Temporary shelter (if requested): a 3x3-meter pop-up tent is provided for cooking under the sun or in the rain. Be sure to dry it well before storing to avoid mildew​.

Living the van life to the full

To maximize your Campervan experience, there are a few things you need to remember to bring along, so we've listed our essentials.

  • Appropriate clothing: the weather can change rapidly depending on the region and the season. Make sure you have the right clothes for the heat, but also for cooler evenings.
  • Food and drink: we provide cooking equipment, but it's up to you to bring your own provisions for meals on the road.
  • Hygiene products: even if some basics are present (soap), remember to bring your own personal products: shampoo, toothpaste, and why not a small dry toilet kit if you're going into the wilderness.
  • Ice cubes for the cooler: ice blocks are more practical than loose ice cubes for keeping your food from getting wet.​
  • Chargers for your electronic devices: the 110V outlet only supports small devices, so bring your own charging cables.
  • Walking shoes: if you're the kind of person who stops off in the wilderness for a hike, your best walking shoes will be your best friends.​.

Shoebill Campervan makes sure you get the essentials so you can enjoy your adventure to the full, but a little preparation is always necessary to cover all situations. So, are you ready to go?
