Kampyng: A simple and effective rental platform

Steinar Amundsen, who rents out two motorhomes via Kampyng.com, has had nothing but positive experiences with the platform. "I think Kampyng is a fantastic service – it's easy to use, and it's where I connect with renters from around the world who want to rent a motorhome in Norway," Steinar says enthusiastically.

Over the summer of 2024, Steinar had a busy season, with 15 bookings, welcoming excited guests from countries as far away as Australia, the United States, and Hong Kong. The platform's user-friendly features, such as the check-in and check-out system, have made the process smooth for both Steinar and his renters. “The check-in/check-out functionality works optimally and ensures that I, as an owner, am protected when I hand over the vehicle,” Steinar explains.

Deposits and calendar management

Reliable deposits and calendar management

One of the aspects Steinar appreciates the most about Kampyng is the deposit system. He feels secure knowing that every rental transaction comes with built-in safeguards. "The deposit feature is a big relief for us," Steinar notes. It ensures that any potential damage is covered, giving both him and his renters peace of mind.\

Steinar also highlights the calendar management on Kampyng.com as a feature that has made renting out his vehicles incredibly straightforward. The platform helps him keep track of bookings, availability, and planning, which is crucial when managing two motorhomes: a Sun Living 75DP, which accommodates six people, and a Roller Team Zefiro 284TL, also suited for six passengers. Both vehicles are ideal for families or groups eager to explore Norway's breathtaking landscapes.

Balancing a side project with full-time work

Steinar and his wife, Lisbeth, live in Ski and manage their motorhome rentals as a side project alongside their full-time jobs.

Caring for the Motorhomes and Positive Renter Experiences

While there’s always some maintenance required after rentals, Steinar emphasizes that renters generally take good care of the motorhomes. He recalls one particularly conscientious renter who went above and beyond during a summer trip. "One customer this summer was especially careful with the maintenance. They washed the motorhome both in Trondheim and Tromsø on their way up to Northern Norway, and again in Trondheim on the return trip," Steinar shares.

This attention to detail and care is something Steinar deeply appreciates. "We love our motorhomes, and we want them to be well-maintained so that many more people can enjoy them in the future. Norway is such a beautiful country, and I believe that experiencing it by motorhome is the best way to do it."
