Meet Big Blue, my much loved camper van. I bought it as a project a few years ago and poured a lot of time and care into refitting, all while using it frequently with my kids. It's a bit quirky, but it's incredibly practical for three people, and we've explored so much of Britain and even ventured abroad in it. Being a long-wheelbase, extra-high-top Ford Transit, it offers plenty of head height and ample space to move around inside.
The van comfortably sleeps three, featuring a spacious 6 foot 2 double bed and a cozy 6 foot single bed underneath. You'll enjoy the convenience of hot and cold running water, along with abundant battery power, solar panels, and hook-up capability for off-grid adventures or campsite stays. Cooking is easy with the induction hob and multi-function air fryer. It's equipped with a generous 55 litre fresh water tank, and two roof fans ensure excellent airflow and cooling.
Big Blue offers plenty of storage, including a dedicated garage area and plenty of drawers for your clothes and food. The fridge is permanently on for your convenience, and a very efficient diesel heater will keep you warm and comfortable, no matter the weather. It also includes a compost toilet. For those uneven parking spots ramps are provided, and a decent-sized awning offers perfect shade from the sun or shelter from the rain. Plus, there’s a dining area with a table for meals and relaxation.
Truly, Big Blue is more than just a van; it's a home on wheels, eagerly awaiting its next travellers to create unforgettable new memories on their journey. It's ready to take you on your next adventure!

About the owner

Dad, professional, adventurer. I love to get away in the van, more often in a field full of friends and family these days but occasionally for adventures in the hills.
The family loves the van but it's a shame to have it sitting around when we're not using it so it's great to be able to let others enjoy it.
