Norway in April by Campervan: Road Trip Guide 2026
Planning a Norway campervan trip in April? Discover weather, costs, road conditions, Northern Lights, hiking, and the best spring road trip routes.
A Volkswagen campervan accommodates the whole family. Bonaparte is a VW Multivan, which means it’s a compromise between a 5-seat vehicle and a campervan. The layout inside differs from the VW California; however, it works just as well. Let’s have a look at what you can find inside.
Like all our campervans, Bonaparte’s home is in Sandefjord town, 15 minutes from Torp Airport (TRF) and 1,5 hours from Oslo. Those three locations are where we personally deliver the campervans to you. Both Sandefjord and Oslo are great starting points to embark on an unforgettable campervan road trip in Norway.
This compact campervan accommodates up to 5 people; however, due to the maximum total weight, it is not recommended for 5 adults.
In the front, you will find two single seats and a seat with three seat belts in the back. It works as a foldable bed for three as well.
The second bed for two is located under the pop-up roof, which can also be secured to the ceiling while open, which gives you enough space to stand in the car. The pop-up roof has side “walls” made out of tent fabric with insect nets in its windows.
A full bedding set follows in the campervan, according to the number of travellers chosen. To have nice and cosy nights on your trip in whatever weather, the campervan comes with a parking heater that can run for a whole night.
The storage space in this campervan is very limited – there is only a small space left for your luggage under the bed. We recommend using duffle bags of carry-on size.
The indoor kitchen includes a portable gas stove, a sink with running water (cold) and 12 l fresh and grey water tanks.
The top-loading 30 l fridge found in the trunk will keep your beer cold. The cupboard is filled with all the necessary dishes and utensils you might need for your camping cooking. There is a collapsible indoor table, which fits two people.
All electric devices such as a fridge, lights, USB outlets and a diesel heater are powered by a leisure battery that charges while you drive.
You can charge your devices by plugging them into USB ports, or add a voltage converter to your campervan rental and charge at 220 V while driving.
For the ultimate comfort during the driving part of your journey, Bonaparte has comfy armrests, storage compartments in the cab, a radio and, just as in all of our campervans, a phone holder. It is a manual transmission vehicle which runs on diesel. Its 80-litre tank can drive you up to 1000 km away!

Alquilamos el vehículo Raido durante 15 días junto a su itinerario y la experiencia ha sido fantástica. Vehículo compacto para dos personas, ideal si te organizas bien. Repetiríamos sin duda.Posted on Google Marcin Soszyński21. July, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great rental experience and well maintained carPosted on Google Lucie C18. July, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely experience with the Raido Benzini Campervan for a 4-days roadtrip around Hardangerfjord. The staff was very friendly and flexible and the instructions were clear. The rental was the most affordable we've found so it's worth going to Sandefjord for a night to pick the van up there. I strongly recommand that option!Posted on Google Hunter beard16.

We highly reccommend Benzini to anyone exploring options, we couldn't have asked for anything more!Posted on Google Raimonds Elsbergs9.

Renting a car is very easy, the car itself is very well prepared for such trips, the sleeping is very comfortable, fuel consumption is minimal. I definitely recommend it!Posted on Google Elizabeth Sharratt30. June, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really amazing experience with Benzini. Right from the beginning the website was clear and pricing fair. We purchased the itinerary to give us ideas of where we might want to go and found that very helpful. I was a bit anxious about the comfort and sleeping in the van. I need not have worried! We hired the Rockford and it was perfect for 2 adults. Lots of room in the bed and surprisingly comfortable! The van design was excellent. The fridge was just the right size and kept the important wine and beer chilled! (Top tip - buy your alcohol at the airport in Oslo before you collect your bags. Much better price than in the supermarket!). The van came with all the cooking utensils you could need and the hob worked well. There were usb chargers, but we also chose to rent the voltage adaptor which meant we could charge things whilst driving. We travelled in June and were lucky with the weather. It was chilly one night and we popped the heater on for a while , the van was lovely and toasty within 10 mins!! We drove up to Eidfjord to explore the fjords and then across to Rosendal and back down via Rjukan and the Telemark canal. We can highly recommend the Sæbo camping site at Øvre Eidfjord- an incredible position and a stunning walk at Hjølmaberget. Other highlights include the Hardangervidda Natursenter, Vøringfossen waterfalls and Bondhusvatnet lake walk at Sunndal. We loved the freedom of the van and it tackled tight hairpin mountain roads with zeal! We loved all the stopping places along the way and really felt we got a taste or Norway. The contrast between Hardangervidda (still snowy!), the fjords and then the beautiful hot coast at Åsnes camping was delightful, and there were unexpected surprises at every corner! For example, we also found a surprise sauna at Rosendal camping! As a company we can’t rate Benzini any more highly. Lenka was kind and welcoming at collection and it was a pleasure to leave the van in Bruno’s hands at the end. We covered around 1200km and fuel wasn’t more than £100, tolls only £10 and no ferry’s on our route.Posted on Google Melanie Haas21.

The people from the rental company were a pleasure to meet—helpful, engaged and very friendly. They made the entire rental process incredibly easy, everything went smoothly from pickup to drop-off. I would gladly book with them again in the future!Posted on Google Roy Goedman16. June, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wij hebben erg genoten van onze vakantie in Noorwegen! Als je bij Benzini Campers huurt is dat alvast één onderdeel van je vakantie waar je je geen zorgen over hoeft te maken. Vlad en Lenka zijn erg behulpzaam en alles wordt goed uitgelegd. De camper zelf was helemaal top qua uitrusting en hij reed heerlijk. De afwikkeling gaat ook allemaal erg soepel! Mochten we ooit weer naar Noorwegen gaan, dan weten wij wel waar we weer zullen huren.Posted on Google Anže Kumer16. June, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Z Benzini Campers sva imela res super izkušnjo. Najela sva Raido camper, ki je bil v odličnem stanju in na celotnem potovanju ni bilo nobenih težav. Velik plus je leisure battery, saj sva lahko prespala na veliko lepih lokacijah brez priklopa na elektriko. Kar nama je bilo še posebej všeč, je njihova prilagodljivost. Med potovanjem sva se odločila spremeniti lokacijo vračila vozila in so nama to brez težav uredili. Tudi komunikacija je bila hitra in enostavna. Če bova še kdaj potovala po Norveški, bova zagotovo ponovno najela pri njih.
