about us

We're Susanne and Bruno. For more than 20 years we have been going our ways together. Our great passion is travelling. And above all in nature and with our camper.

Susanne:










Specialist in education and especially in leadership. Responsible for the organization, the website and the culinary well-being in Doggeli.





 

Bruno:



Specialist in human resources and corporate strategy.

Mostly responsible for driving, flying the drone, photography and navigation. Not for cooking, but very much for eating

Regarding our Camper:


Since 2012 Doggeli is our base vehicle. The campers have already changed a few times.

At the moment we are travelling with a cabin from four wheel pop up campers.

Experiences:

  • Defects: 1 wheel bearing and 1 universal joint, the rest just service / wear parts
  • No measurable oil consumption
  • Ingenious handling on road and off road, due to weight and size somewhat cumbersome, but pulls super through sand.
  • Thanks to the suspension it is very stable on rough tracks.


Cross-country drives:

  • A bit confusing due to large engine hood
  • Gear-reduction great
