Benimar 463 – Benny de Balen, votre compagnon de vacances en toute liberté

Meet Benny from Balen 😉 our cozy Benimar Cocoon Camper.

After years of tent camping with our kids, we are very happy with our luxurious and comfortable upgrade and so we would like to share our happiness and our glamping car with you. Outdoor life remains the basis for us when we are on holiday and atmosphere and coziness are also extremely important to us, which is why you can also count on adapted equipment that will ensure that our mobile home will immediately provide you with a cozy and well-equipped base. are.
Since we love the outdoors and good food so much 😉, we have invested in stylish household goods & practical and comfortable outdoor furniture for a cozy dinner together. Whether you want to take all this with you is of course negotiable. In any case, we have a large outdoor mat available, a cozy oval table, a multifunctional Cadac gas bbq, 2 wonderful relaxing chairs, 2 other adjustable chairs, a hammock that can be attached to sturdy trees somewhere, an optional extra side panel for the awning to go out. to be able to sit in the wind, cozy lights to allow you to sit outside in the evenings, (outdoor) games such as petanque, yahtzee, cards... in short, everything to enjoy each other's company and the great outdoors.

Benny's interior is classic, but beautiful and very neat. There is a kitchen corner with a large automatic refrigerator (freezer compartment & bottle drawer provided), a 3-burner gas fire, a Nespresso coffee machine, practical household goods and cooking pots, and here too there is cozy lighting and attention to attractive details. The driver's seats can be integrated into the seating area so that you can all sit comfortably around the table, even indoors, or even watch TV/DVD (because it's also there to fill up on dreary days). We also have some handy camper books as standard that can provide some extra inspiration and are both a member of France Passion - which allows you to stay for free at farmers and wine estates in France, and the green booklet for Natuurcampings in the Netherlands.
For a wonderful and well-deserved night's sleep, there are 2 separate beds at the back (with extremely practical storage space underneath) that can also be converted into 1 giga-sized sleeping surface. We love it when we travel just the two of us. But in the living area, a comfortable double bed also drops electrically from the ceiling, so sleeping with four is absolutely no problem. Bed linen and towels (and kitchen linen) can also be provided for a small extra charge (8 € pp).
Our sanitary facilities are also excellent: there is a shower and a separate toilet with sink and 1 liter of toilet product is provided as standard. You can also count on practical storage space in the bathroom, so that all necessary items are within reach.
All windows have blackout and mosquito nets, so that a good night's sleep is guaranteed.
And also technically, our Benny has everything and even more 😉 than you can expect from a modern mobile home.
Ease of driving due to the following technical gadgets:
Powerful engine: Ford 170 hp, reversing camera, cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, air conditioning. Radio DAB+ with USB connection and Bluetooth connection. Diesel heating + Gas heating and hot water with automatic temperature control (gas bottle included)
LED lighting, inside and outside, 5 USB connections
Electricity cable (20 m), Water hose to replenish mains water
Wheel chocks, bicycle rack for 3 bicycles (max 60 kg) and a very spacious garage. Thanks to the good technical equipment, it is perfectly possible to spend a few nights without external facilities, which always gives us an enormous feeling of freedom! Just bring your own clothes and toiletries, some food & drinks and you can leave immediately.

Mobile homes with a B driving license are allowed on the track up to and including the maximum weight of 3,500 kg. Our mobile home weighs 3,150 kg in roadworthy condition, which means that your luggage + the passengers together may be MAX 350 kg, keep this in mind when packing, because any fines for overloading are at your own responsibility.

We will of course ensure that you receive a clear explanation with all important information before departure and a manual and a link to videos will also provide a solution during your stay. You can pick up the mobile home from my parents in Balen and there is also room to park your own car safely during your trip (at your own risk).

Because we don't have pets ourselves, we don't allow pets to stay and smoking is also not allowed in our mobile home, thank you in advance for your understanding.

We would also like to ask you to return the mobile home cleaned in the condition it was when it was handed over, otherwise we are obliged to withhold € 100 cleaning costs from the deposit. There is a self-service car wash nearby at Molsesteenweg 144 (please note that you do not spray the high-pressure sprayer into the grilles of the refrigerator) or you can use material at my parents' house to clean everything on arrival, thanks in advance for your good care.

If - despite this extensive explanation - there are still questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Have a good trip, enjoy!
