From idea to realistic planning
The theoretical part focuses on the most important planning steps: What is technically feasible for sleeping, cooking, cooling, as well as water and electricity management? It also addresses the questions that matter in every expansion: What expectations are realistic, what costs arise, and what are the pros and cons of a minicamper? The event thereby targets a clear audience for all who want to create much freedom in a small space.

Practice in the parking lot of Wilhelmstraße
The practical part shows how a normal car becomes a practical camper. Bed, kitchen, cooler, and accessories are designed to be neatly stowed away and used sensibly. The course takes place in the art studio and in the parking lot at Wilhelmstr. 2f, providing an authentic event experience with a direct connection to practice and on-site event planning.

Experience that visibly transfers to the classroom
Course instructor Elisabeth Vandea brings extensive experience from adult education as a trained carpenter. Her profile on the vhs Erlangen site states that she has been teaching in the German-speaking area since 1999 and enjoys conveying practical skills in an understandable way. This expertise shapes the atmosphere: practical, motivating, and close to the participants. ([vhs-erlangen.de](https://www.vhs-erlangen.de/dozierende/480-L-1371))
Location, access, and barrier-free options
The event takes place in the vhs building at Wilhelmstr. 2f in Erlangen. For this location, the vhs Erlangen does not mention barrier-free restroom access or a wayfinding system in their accessibility information. At the same time, the city of Erlangen offers good parking options around the large parking lot and a free city line to the city center, making access easier.
