Camping experiences, gear reviews, and DIY projects — slow travel with minimal gear.https://minimalcamper.eu/en-GBhttps://minimalcamper.eu/qeedo_tarp/https://minimalcamper.eu/qeedo_tarp/After a cheap tarp and a bulky folding gazebo, the Qeedo Motor Tarp was meant to be the elegant sun-and-rain solution for our T6 Multivan. The looks, build quality, and packed size won us over – only the setup ended up costing us too much time after all.Sat, 23 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/renogy_solar_panel/https://minimalcamper.eu/renogy_solar_panel/After a foldable 80-watt solar bag gave up the ghost early, we wanted something sturdier – and ended up with Renogy's foldable 100 W solar suitcase. Solidly built, reliable, and a great team with our battery box. We still didn't keep it in the end, though.Sun, 23 Jun 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/velebit/https://minimalcamper.eu/velebit/A spontaneous stopover up in the mountains – bare, deserted and a little strange, but exactly right after the bustle on the coast.Tue, 13 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/pag/https://minimalcamper.eu/pag/All the way to the far end of a long island – for terraces with a sea view, turquoise bays to paddle in and a marriage proposal.Sat, 10 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/plitvice/https://minimalcamper.eu/plitvice/Standing free on an orchard meadow – and next to it a national park that is beautiful, but very tightly organised.Thu, 08 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/premantura/https://minimalcamper.eu/premantura/Our first stop in Croatia – plenty going on ashore, but crystal clear water to paddle in.Tue, 06 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/spik/https://minimalcamper.eu/spik/Camping under tall trees with a mountain view – a stopover on the way to Croatia.Fri, 02 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/neusiedl/https://minimalcamper.eu/neusiedl/A week at Austria's shallowest lake – kiting, sunsets at the lighthouse and a lake that was suffering from low water.Sat, 30 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/battery-box/https://minimalcamper.eu/battery-box/A self-built solar battery box, made entirely from standard off-the-shelf components. It reliably powers our cooler, charges our devices and has been running without issues for years. The big advantage over ready-made solutions: it's tailored to our needs and can easily be expanded or repaired.Sun, 03 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/finale-ligure/https://minimalcamper.eu/finale-ligure/A night in Liguria, high above Finale Ligure, and a pizzeria with an incredible view.Thu, 16 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/giens/https://minimalcamper.eu/giens/A peninsula in the Mediterranean, an unexpected reunion, and finally some kitesurfing again.Sun, 12 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/dune-du-pilat/https://minimalcamper.eu/dune-du-pilat/A lucky recommendation, a pitch under pine trees with a direct sea view, and the largest sand dune in Europe right at the doorstep.Wed, 08 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/tailgate/https://minimalcamper.eu/tailgate/For our yellow Caddy we wanted more space at the back – and above all a tent that also works freestanding. The Vango Tailgate Hub Low does exactly that, and it is really well made. Still, we sold it again: attaching it to the car is fiddly, and in wind it flaps all the time – a noise that disturbed our sleep.Wed, 08 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/etang-d-aureilhan/https://minimalcamper.eu/etang-d-aureilhan/Finding Tranquility at a Lake, minimalistic lake dinner and a perfect sunset.Thu, 02 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/cap-de-lhomy/https://minimalcamper.eu/cap-de-lhomy/Chasing Tranquility in the Surf, crowded beach campsite and noisy Vango tailgate tent.Mon, 30 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/ququq-box/https://minimalcamper.eu/ququq-box/In this little review we want to share our experience with the Ququq KombiBox. After buying our yellow Caddy we needed a minimal camping solution – and chose the Ququq KombiBox as a simple rear kitchen with sleeping setup. To put it upfront: we love this little box.Sat, 12 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://minimalcamper.eu/attersee/https://minimalcamper.eu/attersee/A quiet weekend at the lake, Caddy Minicamper and mountain views.Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT
