Tom: from hotel industry to motorhome world

Tom Eijssen, 37 years old, lives in beautiful South Limburg with his wife, two children, two dogs and four chickens. Earlier this year, he joined Campercontact. ‘My love for the outdoors is deeply rooted,’ Tom explains. ‘One of my fondest memories is a RV trip through Canada with my partner. There, I really experienced the freedom and adventure of traveling in a motorhome.’

With years of experience in the hotel industry, Tom made an inspiring transition to the motorhome world. ‘It felt like a perfect match,’ he says. ‘Although the hotel and motorhome worlds may seem different at first glance, there are also many similarities. My background helps me to advise and support owners in a way that aligns with their needs.’

What makes his work so special? ‘The personal contact and the diversity of stories,’ Tom explains. ‘Owners often have unique ideas to offer travelers an unforgettable experience. It's great to see how Campercontact can contribute to their success, for example by making their sites bookable.’

An experience that has stayed with Tom happened a few months ago when he was watching Ik Vertrek, a show he enjoys.

'This time, it was about a family that had moved to Southwest France to start a B&B. Their journey really stuck with me, and the next day I decided to call the man from the episode. I told him how much I admired their plans. During our conversation, he mentioned that they didn’t have any income yet because the B&B rooms weren’t ready. I suggested starting with motorhome sites as a simple way to generate income immediately. The idea resonated with him.

Together, we set everything up, and now they regularly welcome motorhome travelers who enjoy their beautiful spot. It feels special to see how something small can make a big difference—for both the travelers and the entrepreneurs who host them. There is also something special about sharing a place you have built yourself, a site you are proud of, and seeing how others enjoy it. That makes it not just a job,, but truly a passion.'

Ultimate holiday destination

‘High on my list is Canada, specifically the west coast, and this time with my children,’ Tom explains. ‘The vast nature, the mountains, the lakes and the wildlife are something I would really love to share with them. And of course I would prefer to do it again in a motorhome. It gives us the freedom to stop wherever we want along the way and discover the most beautiful places together.’

With his enthusiasm and expertise, Tom is ready to support owners. Hey is looking forward to working together and sharing his passion for the motorhome world with you.
