This well-loved family owned van has a maximum of four travel seats (the current setup has three seats), with an extra seat belt point for a dog harness, and the bed makes up into either two single beds, or a extra large double which fits two adults comfortably, or three if you don't mind getting cosy. This setup was used regularly by my mother (who nicknamed her Betsy) with her two dogs, a Labrador and a Retriever, with the addition of either our daughter (older teen/adult) or her other grandchildren (two primary age children), and on one unforgettable occasion all of the above.
As you can tell pets are more than welcome, though we do request that all animals wear an appropriately sized travel harness suitable to connect to a standard seat belt point during travel, or you bring your own travel cage. Festivals and other events are also fine, though we do request that you let us know beforehand as an extra cleaning charge may be needed. Also, please be reassured that the van is fully cleaned, and valeted between trips.
This modern professionally converted van has plenty of cupboard space for travellers to use, as well as a fitted kitchen with worktops, fridge, sink, microwave and three ring gas hob. We also provide a washing up bowl, stove kettle, saucepans and a frying pan, as well as some cooking utensils, a storage container for bread, several microwavable pots and storage boxes. There is also a separate bathroom area with a flushing toilet and folding sink.
The living area is currently set up with two cushions and cosy throws on a bench seat and a chair, with a swivel under the front passenger seat for extra seating, however, you may wish to change the seating to two bench seats in the rear once at your destination, and use the rear door for access. Travellers must provide their own towels, pillows & bedding, however the two throws in the rear are king size, and can be used as extra blankets if it gets chilly, there is also heating and hot water.
There are two tables which you can set up inside the van, one of which has a base so that you can use it outside under the awning with the two folding camp chairs provided. The cupboards also contain an attractive dinner set for four people, including dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls & coffee cups, as well as cutlery, wine glasses, place mats, coasters, two tea towels, and an easy wipe tablecloth.
Cleaning supplies are also provided, including hand sanitiser, anti-bacterial cleaning wipes, washing up liquid, washing up brush, sponge scourer, long-handled brush, and dustpan & brush. Measured doses of fluid for the toilet, and three toilet rolls will also be included.
This van is fitted with a dual leisure battery and LPG gas tank, and all the appliances and heating run from these if you wish to use sites without electric hook up.
Explanations on the use of all appliances will be given to travellers before handover of the keys, and a vehicle handbook will be available for reference during your trip.
