Family of Five
ON THE
ROAD
For Pia Reinholt-Egsgaard, holidays are not about
hotels, pools, or all-inclusive packages. They are
about being together, following the mood of the day,
and letting adventure unfold without rigid plans.
Together with her husband René and their three children
aged 9, 7, and 4, she has made the HeroCamper the family’s
preferred way to travel across Europe. For them, it represents
freedom, presence, and a type of holiday without expectations
or pressure. It becomes a holiday when the pace slows down,
when views decide the next stop, and when all five experience
something new together.
The family lives in Alslev, Denmark, and although Pia grew up in
Western Jutland while her husband comes from Zealand, they
share one travel philosophy: spontaneity. Two years ago, they
set off south in a HeroCamper for the first time, travelling to
Italy and spending a classic holiday at a campsite for a classic
vacation. It felt safe and familiar, but it also opened their eyes
to how much flexibility a small camper provides.
The following year, they drove through Austria and Italy and
discovered how powerful the concept becomes when you are
not tied to one place. They moved from site to site, stayed
where the children felt like staying, and continued when the
view or the weather called them onward. For Pia, this is where

The Explorer
the HeroCamper truly shines: in movement, in change, and in
the freedom to let coincidence shape the route.
“My best advice is not to plan too much.
Spontaneity is the real reward.”
Fixed is good, freedom is better
It is not that the camper cannot function as a fixed base. It is
solid, well-equipped, and easy to live in. But the family quickly
realized that the longer they stayed in one place, the more they
unpacked, and the more things began to accumulate. Scooters,
towels, bicycles, toys, and the inevitable camping clutter start
to fill the space, making it feel smaller than it really is.
Pia has therefore learned to travel light and think practically.
It is about not bringing too much and accepting that this type
of holiday rewards mobility. Minimizing equipment is not a
compromise. It is a shortcut to less clutter and more presence.
