At VAN-Jorn, we manufacture RVs. That’s what we’re good at. We also rent out a number of buses, and we do that very consciously. Because we believe that you don’t choose a motorhome from paper, but by getting on the road with it. <\/p>\n\n

After all, traveling with a bus camper is not the same for everyone. The space, the rhythm, living close together. You only discover that when you really get out there. And that’s exactly where renting helps! <\/p>\n\n

Experience first, then decide<\/h3>\n\n

Many people know full well that they want “something with a bus camper.” But what does that look like in practice? How big should such a van be? Cook inside or outside? And how does it actually feel, living for a few days on seven square meters? <\/p>\n\n

With our rental RVs, you get to try that out. Just bring keys, stuff in and go. After a trip like that, you’ll be much more sure of what suits you and what doesn’t. <\/p>\n\n

Example interiors, no thirteen-in-a-dozen<\/h3>\n\n

Every VAN-Jorn is unique. That may not make renting it out logical, but it makes it very interesting. We have therefore put together five sample interiors. Beautiful, thoughtful layouts that show what is possible. <\/p>\n\n

They are meant to be used. To sleep on, cook on, mess on, hang wet coats on and sit inside for long evenings. That provides insights no conversation can match. And you take those insights with you when you put together your own camper later. <\/p>\n\n

Renting as part of building<\/h3>\n\n

We think it is important that the step to owning your own motorhome is not too big. That’s why we deduct the rental fee of the first week from the price if you decide to have a camper built by us. Because for us, renting is part of the same story: choosing carefully, with experience in your backpack. <\/p>\n\n

New, well maintained and ready to go<\/h3>\n\n

Our rental buses are young, well-maintained and fully equipped. You get in with full tanks, a full interior and everything you need to be on the road. No hassles, no surprises. <\/p>\n\n

In 2026, we are renewing part of the fleet. The Uitslapers and the Red Roadtripper will get an update then. New basic buses, rebuilt and finished, according to the familiar layouts. Just a fresh start. <\/p>\n\n

Five buses,<\/span>five ways to travel<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our fleet consists of five motorhomes. Each with its own character. Not better or worse, but suited to how you travel: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Does it suit you?<\/h3>\n\n

Renting is not a one-hour trial run. It is living as you would on the road. Maybe it confirms exactly what you already thought. Maybe you discover you’re looking for something different. In either case, that’s pure profit. <\/p>\n\n
