Mobile units and ‘Tiny Houses’ for the recreation sector

Sanitary facilities are of course one of the most essential aspects for which holidaymakers set the necessary requirements. Getting this right takes the entire camping site or holiday park to a higher level. In order to approach the sanitary environment as much as possible from the home situation, the choice for WellCamp Vakantiesanitair is a perfect option. This company specialises in the production of special units, which can be fitted to specifications with e.g. a shower and toilet. Options include the installation of cooking hobs and kitchen sinks. Besides sanitary units, in recent years WellCamp has also been building more and more ‘Tiny Houses’. This is also based on the idea that campers want increasingly more luxurious accommodation. We supply them fully furnished with a kitchen, sanitary fittings and furniture.

 

‘We make all sorts of mobile units for the recreation sector’, says Jan-Geert Haase, owner of WellCamp. He started with this concept ten years ago, and he still notices increasing interest. ‘There is indeed increasing demand for this type of comfort. We deliver the units to camping site owners in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, Germany, France and Denmark. But no, not to private individuals.’

According to him, the appearance is unique. ‘We design and produce everything ourselves. Yes, there are similar solutions on the market, but these units are different, certainly when it comes to the look and feel. The standard units are ready within six weeks, but for models that vary a little more from standard, e.g. a different colour, we count ten to fifteen weeks delivery time.’

 

Because we do the production in-house, Haase knows exactly how the units have to be put together. ‘We used to do that with screws and pop rivets, but about six years ago we switched to Bijlard adhesives. I came into contact with Bijlard through a supplier, and I now get on very well with and is a partner who contributes ideas and who advised us the Bijlard MS Polymer CS40 transparent. We use this glue for among other things the floor finish. But there are more options with this type of glue apart from the transparent variant, such as the Bijlard MS Polymer CS 60, which is available in white, grey and black. Why is glue better than for example nails? Massive sheets are used in the units. These may not crack. Gluing them means that there is no danger of this happening at all.’

 

After the first order, Bijlard immediately gave WellCamp staff an elaborate explanation on how to apply the adhesives. Haase: ‘If it is explained properly the first time, then you reap the benefits later on as well. The Bijlard experts did that admirably. Yes, we always have enough of their glues in stock. But we never have any complaints about deliveries. The contract runs perfectly, and they are always ready to answer our questions.’
