Silvester is a VW T6 Long Wheel Based converted Transporter. He joined our family in 2020 and has already taken us on many adventures. He has been lovingly converted to include a pop-top roof with sleeping platform that comfortably sleeps 2, 3 windows and a panoramic zip top to open up and enjoy the sunshine, views & sunsets. Silvester has a 3 full size seat (with seatbelts) Rock and Roll bed which converts into a super comfy king size bed with 10cm mattress included. The sliding rails enable the seats to be moved up and down the van, allowing for a lovely lunch on the table or for extra packing room at the back (for all those travel bags)...Or for moving to the back to make lots of space when parked up. The most recent addition is the custom cab bed that can comfortably sleep a child, making Silvester a 5 sleeper. We have a fab kitchen pod with a gas hob, cold water tap, fridge/freezer and detachable table. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and a cup of tea after a winter walk. External Blackout Screen, blackout curtains & chocs included. A good nights sleep is the key to the best adventures!

    We had a great festival camping with Silvester. Barbara carefully explained everything we needed to know for 1st time camper-vaners, and even offered to be on call if we needed any help! Barbara sent us off with a very thoughtful hamper and we couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you for looking after us so well!

    As first time Campervan hirers we were a bit apprehensive but Barbara could not have been more helpful and gave us the confidence to head off to a festival in her Campervan. It had everything you could possibly think of, lots of handy storage space, a very comfy bed and is surprisingly spacious. It is really easy to drive and set up, and we will definitely be back for more. A lovely personal touch was a hamper of essentials which was thoughtfully put together. We would highly recommend Barbara and her camper.

    Great experience with Silvester. Barbara and her husband have put together a series of videos so if youve never used a camper before, they are super helpful and you dont need to remember everything. We took our two little girls (4&7) with us and they had an absolute blast in the van - so much fun for them!! They loved sleeping up in the roof and we had the bed in the main van which was lovely and spacious and really comfy! Lovely big van so plenty of room for all the bits you need either in the storage areas or in the boot so you can pack all the little comforts you needas well as stocking the fridge with all the goodies A great van which has clearly been well looked after and great experience booking. Would highly recommend xx

    Silvester was a great campervan to take out for our first time. The beds were very comfortable, the equipment /utensils etc were great for first timers who have nothing. When it was a bit cooler in the evening the easy to use pop top gave for extra space. Barbara was really friendly and gave a great handover. Highly recommend.

Hi I'm Barbara, I love to travel and even more now that we have a family to travel with us! Silvester provides a fab addition to our family and means that we can go everywhere we want, whenever we want and have a comfy place to sleep too. We have been on so many adventures in the UK and Europe and our children love Silvester. He is even a great play room on the driveway. Looking forward to starting this new adventure of hiring out our van so that others can enjoy the experience too.
