After the deal for my dream van (an old live broadcasting van) fell through, I found my van on a lonely farm on the North Sea. It is a:

• Mercedes 309 O (Düsseldorf series – Düdo).
• year of construction 1974
• 88 HP
• 100 litre diesel tank
• Air brake
• 4,2 tons
• The caravan body is from the 90s.

The transformation of the van from a former omnibus to a studio-mobile was a time-consuming process on my own. In order to be as self-sufficient as possible on the road, I later added

• 300 Watt solar
• 2x 100 litre water tanks
• Swedish separation toilet
• 210 Ampère supply battery
• 220 volt inverter
• Outdoor shower

As I found out later, part of the yard belonged to Jan Fedder, a well-known German actor who unfortunately passed away recently. Today he probably wouldn’t recognise the car so quickly, as it has been given a new coat of paint.
