Hello lovely campervanners!
The camper was converted into a camper by Iain back in 2022 when we decided to head off to Southern Spain and Portugal with our two toddlers. Iain is a professional tradesmen so the build is done to a high standard whilst still built with love and care. After several camper conversions we've bought forward all the elements we believe make a really great van and included them in this one.
It's a simple, practical and beautiful van. The carpentry is all clad in Portuguese cork which creates a really warm and cosy interior. There are different options on lighting so you can have low lighting on in the evenings or bright lights when cooking up a storm.
KITCHEN.
The van offers a gas hob, grill, sink (with HOT water!) a really good size fridge and little freezer. The cooker unit can be closed up when not in use which means that you have lots more work surface space when not cooking. We have a foldable camping table and chairs for dining outside the sliding door.
BED.
The bed is a RIB bed which is one of the best & most versatile on the market. It can seat 2 people when as a seat (inc isofix), and then turns into a good sized bed for 2 people when down. We will provide a bamboo cotton mattress topper which makes it extra comfy. Duvet + 2 pillows inc linen included.
The good thing about this particular RIB seat/bed is that it's on rails, which means it can slide all the way to the front of the space, and all the way to the back. So if you're parked up somewhere and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, you can pull the chair right to the back and create a big space to hang out and get cosy, cuppa and book in hand!
HEATING.
There is a 'Truma' combi gas heating & hot water system. The heater is on a thermostat so that it only kicks in when it drops below a certain temp. This is a much better heating system than a diesel heater and you have hot water on tap (as long as there's water in the tank!) You are able to comfortably stay in the winter.
STORAGE.
There are easy to access cubbies behind the drivers seat (also doubles up as a little bench for putting shoes on or just hanging out). These can be accessed at all times, no matter where the seat is which means they get used a lot!
There are two large cupboards at the back of the van with tambour sliding doors with shelving inside. You would easily be able to store all of your clothes / towels / shoes in here.
There is a storage cupboard underneath the cooker unit which we often use for back up dry foods (pasta /rice etc).
FRONT SEATS.
Both the front bench seat and the drivers seat spin around to further open up the space when parked up and getting settled. This is really nice when you want to create more room.
SHOWER + LOO.
If you want to stay a little off the beaten track, where there aren't showers or loos (this is our favourite way to travel), then you'll need the flushing portapotty which sits in the back. *Please let us know in advance if you want the loo, there is an extra charge of £20.00 per rental and we would ask you to return it empty. There is a hand held shower that can be attached at the back of the van with the barn doors open. Open air shower under the stars here we come!
PARKING SPACE FOR YOUR VEHICLE.
There is space here to park your vehicle safely and off the road whilst you go off on your travels.
ADD ONS.
-Weber BBQ w/ coals - £20.00
+ firewood to make a fire in the BBQ after - £6.00 per bag

Sometimes on your first night you want to makes things a bit simpler whilst you get the hang of the van. We often make a simple meal and pop it in the fridge for our first night on family trips - it feels like such a treat when you pull up and you have something ready to go!
