A few months ago Timmer bought his tractor. “Yes, why? The one buys a motorcycle or a racing bike, I thought such a tractor was nice. I sometimes tour with it. I first wanted to sail the Elfstedentocht with a sloop, but then I thought: I can also go out with my tractor on the road.”
No sooner said than done. “Beautiful with a pipowagen behind it,” someone suggested, but that is all a bit too short and too big. Such a large container behind it does not really drive comfortably. But such a small caravan is doing well. “
Because he is traveling alone, it is by no means lonely. “You have a lot of claim and actually right everywhere. People are curious and like it. And what I say: I get more thumbs than middle fingers.”
The first trip with his tractor-plus caravan went two months ago on the Drentse Hondsrug in the direction of Overijssel. That tasted like more. “At first I thought: after that vacation I will sell that caravan again, but it really liked it. Then I thought: the Groningerland is of course also very beautiful. So we are doing that this week. Nice and relaxed, this is a great way to camp.”
