This van is great for both short weekend breaks in the South West or Wales or longer trips further away. It is quick, economical and comfortable on the roads with added bonus of Air Con, to keep you cool be it in the South of France or in the UK this summer! Whether you are wild camping or at a campsite, you can set up the van for sleeping in a couple of minutes: the fully crash tested rear seats change into a comfortable double bed and the roof pops up for either head room or sleeping space for two more. In term of living space; you have a 50 litre fridge/freezer to store your fresh food an/or keep your wine cool, two gas hobs to cook on, a small sink with fresh flowing water from an internal water tank, 12v LED lighting and a powerful leisure battery which means you can stay off-grid however there is a 240v hookup so you can take power from your campsite. There is ample storage space in the 10 storage lockers which will support extended family trips beyond a week.

    The Campervan was brilliant and has everything what you need to enjoy a break away! We was astounded how much room and storage you actually get in the Campervan. JC was very helpful throughout and contactable if needed. Quick and efficient in handing over the camper to make things very easy. Definitely recommend.
