Tolle Erfahrung!

Mein Partner wollte mir unbedingt das Wohnwagen leben schmackhaft machen, also einigten wir uns auf eine Nacht im Gipsy-Wagon. Es war suuuper! Der Besitzer total unkompliziert und sympathisch. Links vom Wagon gab es ein Tippi Zelt und rechts von uns ein Zugwagenabteil. Es hat unglaublich viel Spass gemacht. War alles top! Wohnwagen fahren ist zwar immer noch nicht das meine, aber in den Gipsy-Wagon mit allem Komfort (Dusche, WC, Kochnische inkl. Backofen) würde ich sofort wieder buchen!!
