Occasion Holtkampers at our Concept Store
Did you know that you can also go to our own Holtkamper Concept Store for carefully selected used vehicles? These second-hand Holtkampers have been thoroughly checked by our specialists and are only offered for sale when they fully meet our quality standards. So you can be sure that you can hit the road safely and with confidence.
Do you have your eye on a used Holtkamper elsewhere? Then we strongly recommend having the trailer tent checked with us during a service. This way we can check whether everything is technically in order and prevent any surprises during your first camping trip.
Checklist: what should you pay attention to when buying a Holtkamper occasion?
General state
- Tent fabric: Check for tears, wear, holes or discoloration. Also look for mold or moisture spots, especially at seams and corners.
- Zippers: Do they work smoothly, are they complete and is the stitching still secure?
- Camping equipment: Are pegs, poles and guy ropes complete, straight and undamaged?
- Age: Based on the chassis number, we can find out the exact age for you.
Frame and base
- Rust: Inspect the chassis for rust, especially at the welds
- Handbrake: Check operation of handbrake. Do the wheels lock when the brake is applied and do the wheels roll freely when the handbrake is taken off?
- Clutch: Is the mechanism working properly and is there no play on it?
- Tires: Enough tread, no drought cracks? Also check the DOT code (older than 6 years = replaced).
- Wheel and bearings: Do the wheels rotate smoothly and without side noises?
- Parts availability: Please note with really older models that parts may no longer be available. This can be checked with Holtkamper based on the chassis number.
Floor and superstructure
- Floor: Check the floor for wood rot or weak spots. Especially in older models (such as the Flyer or Spacer), it is important to check for this, especially in the corners and near the wheel wells.
- Tent poles and hinges: Sturdy, not bent, does the folding mechanism work?
- Unfolding system: Check the closed and open positions: everything fold out and fixed properly?
Accessories and equipment
- What’s included? Think: awning, canopy, kitchenette, mattress, groundsheet, etc.
- Kitchen: Check that the kitchen is complete and working properly (faucets, stove, pump).
- Gas hose: Check date. Quick disconnect = replace after 10 years. Hose clamp = replace after 4 years. We can check this for you and test for leaks.
- Electrical connections: Do lights and other electrics (such as refrigerator) work?
- Papers: Are the original manual and documentation present?
- Taillights: Do they work when the trailer tent is hitched to the car?
Papers and history
- Maintenance: Ask for the maintenance booklet or separate maintenance receipts.
- Registration certificate: Check whether the registration certificate is present (if the trailer tent is over 750 kg)
- Background: Ask about reason for sale and any major repairs or known defects.
Practicalities for you personally
- Weight & Driver’s License: Does the weight fit your car and your driver’s license?
- Ease of set-up: Does the system fit your preferences (quick vs. extensive setup)?
- Storage space: Do you have enough space in the garage or storage area?
- Sleeping arrangements: How much sleeping space do you need? Note the number of people it can accommodate.
- User Instruction: Ask for instructions on setting up if you are new to the Holtkamper.
