    Talk sessions, practical insights and bus tinkering workshops
    In addition to the travel reports, the stage offers daily talks on practical topics such as “Insta vs. real van life - what's life like on the road?”, “How does it last the longest? Caring for motorhomes properly” or ”Holy Shit! The best toilet for your camper”.

    The Vanlife stage also provides valuable information for newcomers who want to upgrade their own camper. The coach builders will share their knowledge on topics such as “Build your own furniture safely”, “Don't buy a van you've converted yourself!” or “Electrical setup in the camper: safe or a fire hazard?”.

    Another highlight is the live conversion of a van by Anni & Alex from Mission to Marsh. Every day at 10:30 and 17:30, they will share the progress and steps of their project and provide valuable insights into the world of self-conversion.

    The presentations and talks are aimed at everyone - from vanlife newbies to experienced campers. After the presentations, the experts will be available to answer individual questions and share their experiences.
