It’s time to GetAway!

After weeks of secrecy and speculation, the moment has finally arrived: we proudly unveil the new GetAway. A lightweight pop-up caravan that effortlessly travels anywhere without compromising comfort. Compact on the outside, spacious on the inside—ready for your next adventure!

Take a break from the hustle, escape the daily stress. Experience new adventures while always feeling at home wherever you go. With the well-designed GetAway, you’re on the road with an ultra-modern camping solution that’s packed with convenience and practically unnoticeable: ‘Easy Caravanning at its finest’. This makes our GetAway ideally suited for compact, hybrid, or fully electric cars.

Hitting the road with the GetAway is a joy from the very first mile. Thanks to its compact exterior when the pop-up roof is folded down, we’ve kept additional wind resistance to a minimum. With the help of the sloping roofline and rounded shapes, its aerodynamic properties are unmatched. Extra side mirrors are unnecessary as the GetAway is no wider than your car. So no need to worry about tight spaces—it will effortlessly follow you on your journey of discovery, over mountain passes, through toll booths, down narrow streets, wherever you want to go. You’ll quickly forget that you’re towing anything and often feel like you’re just driving solo. Easy Caravanning, every time!

The GetAway will amaze you. It’s a true chameleon—small on the outside but surprisingly spacious on the inside. Travelling with the GetAway means everything is within reach, and it’s always ready to use. The multifunctional front seating-lounge-sleeping area makes the impossible possible: a king-size bed with extendable slatted bases measuring an impressive 2.15 x 1.70 metres. Why compromise? This is sleeping like you’re at home.

The headboards of the bed can be raised in one swift motion, allowing you to lounge comfortably or finish reading that thrilling novel. When the evening cools, you can gather in the dinette with friends for drinks and a game of cards. No lack of space. It’s 5-star camping in your own ‘GetAway’, despite the very compact exterior dimensions.

During the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, The Netherlands (October 2-6), the GetAway will be on display for the first time. You can find us in Hall 10, Stand 0.31, and we can’t wait to show you our GetAway and all its innovative features.

But there’s more reason to celebrate: during the show, we are celebrating our five-year anniversary, which means we’re giving back! To mark this occasion, we’ve put together some fantastic promotional packages worth up to €749. With every purchase of a GetAway or TakeOff during the Trade Show, you’ll receive this special package completely free.

If you can’t wait until October to learn more about the GetAway, visit our new configurator

Electric Vehicles Increasingly Popular for Holidays

Easy Caravanning is delighted to share the results of the recent survey conducted by Elektrische Autovakanties, one of the largest online platforms providing information about going on holiday with an electric car. A new study among 965 Dutch and Belgian electric car drivers reveals that EV drivers are setting off on holidays with increasing confidence! Great news!

In the summer of 2024, more than half a million fully electric cars are on the roads in the Netherlands and Belgium. Nearly 95% of these EV drivers choose to take their electric cars on holiday. The survey findings highlight the growing popularity and acceptance of electric vehicles as reliable and sustainable options for long-distance travel. With improved infrastructure for charging EVs and the increasing availability of information and resources, holidaymakers feel better equipped to hit the road in their electric vehicles.

France retains its status as the favourite holiday destination for EV drivers, thanks to the impressive improvement of its charging infrastructure. This year, respondents rated France with a score of 4.17 out of 5, a significant increase from the previous year. This is likely due to France’s expansion of its charging network to approximately 127,000 public points.

Met de Tesla Op Vakantie

For 95% of EV drivers, the presence of charging stations at accommodations plays a crucial role in their choice of lodging. This shows the importance of a well-developed charging infrastructure at hotels, campsites, and other holiday accommodations.

A growing number of EV drivers are camping with caravans and folding trailers, including the TakeOff by Easy Caravanning. At Easy Caravanning, we recognize the importance of this development and remain committed to providing solutions that make camping with EVs even easier and more enjoyable.

Our innovative caravan solutions are designed with convenience and comfort in mind, allowing you to enjoy your holiday worry-free, wherever your electric vehicle takes you.

We wish everyone heading out on holiday with their electric vehicle this summer a fantastic time!

Karsten Tents and Easy Caravanning take the next step in strategic cooperation

Luxury camping, but always with the smell and experience of cotton tent cloth

Last year, Karsten Tenten and Easy Caravanning were seen several times at a joint stand at camping and leisure exhibitions. Now both Dutch companies are taking the next strategic step by further uniting forces.

‘Since the founding of Easy Caravanning and the introduction of the crossover camping concept TakeOff, we have been producing the canvas flexwall (between trailer and lifting roof) and we have jointly developed the matching modular awning. At Karsten we immediately believed in the TakeOff. Unlike traditional touring caravans, the tent canvas makes you much more one with nature. And that’s what we love. That is why we immediately got on board during the product development in 2019,” says Marc Takken, director-owner of Karsten Tenten Zwaag in the Netherlands. Takken continues: ‘At Karsten, our business model was until recently based on 2 pillars: camping tents (under the name Karsten Tenten) and work tents (under the name Tent World Unlimited). In terms of seasonal patterns, these two product lines complement each other well. But we had actually been looking for a 3rd pillar for a number of years that would allow us to permanently engage older tent campers and tent campers who are looking for even more luxury, comfort and facilities. The Easy Caravanning product portfolio is the perfect addition to this. When we were given the opportunity to become part of this innovative Dutch manufacturer, we didn’t hesitate for a moment. Especially because the collaboration over the past 5 years has been very pleasant. We really click with each other – we speak the same no-nonsense language – and that is more important than anything else.’

Top: Marc Takken of Karsten Tenten, the tent workshop and showroom in Zwaag, bottom: Maarten de Roos of Easy Caravanning and the factory location in Emmen

Maarten de Roos, founder and director-co-owner of Easy Caravanning adds: ‘We are very pleased with the collaboration with Karsten and their commitment, which has now been reinforced by further expanding Easy Caravanning together with us. We are both committed to sustainability. Not entirely coincidentally, Karsten won the ‘Most Sustainable Camping Equipment 2022′ award and we – with the TakeOff – which, among other things, responds to the trend of electrification of the vehicle fleet, a year later. We really complement each other. Our products are characterized by their small dimensions, low weight and aerodynamic characteristics, which makes them the ideal camping equipment for owners of electric cars, hybrid cars and cars with small fuel-saving combustion engines. Once at their destination, we want our customers to have everything they need. Lift-slide solutions and cleverly and easily creating extra space with tent canvas is the key. We cannot imagine a better business partner for this than Karsten. In the near future, we will work hand in hand to develop new – made in Holland – camping concepts that focus on sustainability, luxury, but also the real outdoor living feeling through the use of cotton tent cloth.’

The strategic collaboration between Karsten Tenten and Easy Caravanning will be strengthened by the addition ‘powered by Karsten’ under the Easy Caravanning logo.

Karsten Travelstore Zwaag is also main dealer of Easy Caravanning. Here you will find the sewing workshop where all tents (including the famous inflatable tents) are made and a showroom with a shop of no less than 4,500 m2 full of camping and leisure items.

You can take much more with you than you think!

TakeOff surprises with extensive luggage options

Campingtrend, one of camping’s most informative websites, recently paid extensive attention to the amount of luggage that can be taken in the TakeOff. And that is much more than you might initially think. We are of course happy to share this video with you

Your own TakeOff before this summer? It can be done!

Are you an adventurous camper and considering buying the TakeOff? Then visit one of our dealers soon as we have stepped up production due to high interest. There are still some production slots available in the month of June.

Are you all set for the new camping season? Do the check!

At the beginning of April, around Easter, the camping season starts for most people and campsites open their gates again. And this tradition makes sense, because let’s face it: after such a long, wet winter, who doesn’t feel like going out and enjoying spring in all its beauty in the great outdoors? Use our checklist to make sure you’re ready for carefree travelling, are you ready for TakeOff?

Checklist for the start of the camping season

  • Have you had the annual check-up service carried out by the dealer? The points to be checked on the TakeOff are listed in the owner’s manual;
  • Before you leave, set up the TakeOff at home, connect it to the mains and check that everything still works;
  • Check that everything is still complete. Think of pegs for different types of camping sites, guy ropes and, for example, the drawstring elastics for the canvas flexwall. Have you stored or used certain items at home during winter storage? Then don’t forget to put them back in the TakeOff;
  • Check that all zips in the tent and the canvas flexwall still work properly and that you have sufficient tent elastics with you;
  • Check whether there is still enough gas in the gas bottle (you can also weigh it, the empty weight is indicated on the gas bottle) and check the condition of the gas hose;
  • Check the operation of the water system and clean it if necessary;
  • Do you have all the keys with you? Also consider keys to the bike rack and towbar lock;
  • Is your insurance still up to date?
  • It is always handy to take some small tools and repair materials with you for unexpected situations. Sometimes you can also help other campers with these;
  • Make yourself a personal camping checklist that you go through at the start of each camping season, which is very convenient.

Your own TakeOff before this summer? It can be done!

Don’t feel like waiting for the start of the camping season in spring and curious about our camping concept? Then come and admire the TakeOff 2024 and visit us at one of the trade fairs this month. In the Netherlands, we will kick off the year with the Vakantiebeurs from 11 to 14 January and the Caravana from 24 to 28 January.

Vakantiebeurs 2024, Jaarbeurs Utrecht, 11 to 14 January

Vakantiebeurs Utrecht

‘Around the world in one day’, that’s the motto of the Vakantiebeurs in Utrecht in the Netherlands. Here you will find all holiday destinations under one roof and literally feast your eyes. Easy Caravanning has an active role in the Dutch Camping & Caravan Industry Association. Together with industry colleagues, we are organising the Camp to Go starter square in hall 9 at stand number 09.C056. It is a joint initiative to promote camping as a form of holiday in general. Here, you can get to know different camping equipment such as, for example, the tent (from our business partner Karsten, which won the Sustainability Award in 2022 with the Karsten Lacerta Blueline), the rooftop tent, the trailer tent, the caravan, the camper van and, of course, our innovative hybrid concept TakeOff 2024. More and more people are discovering camping as the ultimate form of holiday spending and freedom experience. With this link https://www.vakantiebeurs.nl/tickets/ you can easily order your tickets online and avoid queues at the box office. You can reach the Vakantiebeurs very easily by public transport (the Jaarbeurs is at walking distance from Utrecht Central Station) or by car. Although not a specific fair for camping equipment, the Vakantiebeurs is the biggest leisure event in the Netherlands that you, as a holiday lover, really shouldn’t miss. For more information see https://www.vakantiebeurs.nl. We look forward to welcoming you!

Caravana, WTC Expo Leeuwarden, 24 to 28 January

Barely two weeks after the Vakantiebeurs, we will be at Caravana, the largest camping fair in the north of the Netherlands, together with Karsten Tenten on joint stand 5090. The best day out for the whole family and well worth the drive to Leeuwarden. Besides all kinds of camping equipment, you will also find camping accessories, campsites and holiday destinations. At our stand you can experience and try the TakeOff (winner Most Sustainable Camping Device 2023) for yourself, we will be happy to give you detailed advice. Tickets can be ordered onlline: https://caravana.eu/tickets. For more information, see https://caravana.eu.

Back on the scene

By special request, we have decided to bring back 2 lined fabrics from the very beginning (when the TakeOff was introduced at the end of 2019). The show models we used at the time at the Camping & Caravan Jaarbeurs at the market launch were equipped with the playful Fantasia pattern and the sparkling Arancio. With these, you really make a statement with your TakeOff. But what about the added (and very popular) blue Oceano microfibre upholstery a few months ago? The Oliva and Spiaggia designs are also very popular. Or do you prefer Azzuro or Taupe? It’s up to you because there is no arguing for taste, it’s your call. Are you ready for TakeOff?

10 reasons why TakeOff is good alternative to a campervan

We are noticing more and more interest from people who were actually looking for a compact campervan. Like a campervan, the TakeOff is a real ‘holiday hopper’, many of our customers use it in a similar way.

Here are 10 reasons why the TakeOff is a good alternative to a campervan:

1. Like a campervan, the TakeOff is a real ‘holiday hopper’.
2. Once on location, the TakeOff still gives you access to your own car without having to break up ‘camp’ immediately.
3. When you want to enter a city centre, there are no emission-related access restrictions for you, something that becomes increasingly difficult with a campervan.
4. At the campsite, you simply stand among the tents and caravans, these pitches are significantly larger than so-called motorhome sites.
5. Unlike a campervan, you pay no road tax.
6. Because the TakeOff has no engine and a much simpler chassis, maintenance costs are much lower.
7. Thanks to the speed and ease of unfolding and folding, you have access to all facilities on the road, just like with a motorhome.
8. Although the TakeOff is small on the outside, it is surprisingly spacious on the inside: at the show we again received many positively surprised reactions.
9. The TakeOff is very easy to store, fitting easily into a garage or under a carport, for example.
10. And last but not least: the purchase price is of course much friendlier than for a campervan. Are you ready for TakeOff?

The TakeOff is available from € 18.995,-. With our product configurator you can easily put together your own TakeOff at home: https://www.easycaravanning.com/en/editions/.

Retrospective Dutch Camping & Caravan Fair Utrecht 4 – 8 October 2023

Never before has there been so much interest in the TakeOff as at the recently held annual national camping exhibition KCJ 2023 in the Netherlands. From the many conversations we had, it is clear that more and more electric car owners are switching to buy a recreational vehicle that preserves the range of the combination as much as possible. For this reason, we received the prestigious Award for Most Sustainable Camping Device 2023, which we reported on earlier, on the first day of the trade fair. But in addition to EV owners, other campers also increasingly appreciate the TakeOff’s ease of set-up. This makes it the ideal travel companion for adventurous campers who want to travel around in an easy way or just want to go out for the weekend.


Winner!
