Meet Fred, our much-loved VW T5 SWB camper van, converted to a high standard by ‘Camper King’. Fred has explored the beautiful mountains in North Wales, the stunning coast of west Wales, and the amazing NC500, in Scotland. He has provided us with so many amazing adventures, and we’re sure he’ll be perfect for your adventures too. Fred is well kitted out with everything you need - a fridge (with freezer compartment), twin hobs, sink and swivel front seat. We will also provide you with plenty of cooking equipment, detailed below. Fred is fitted with a Fimma Wind Out Awning. Outdoor furniture is also included with the hire (two camp chairs and a fold out table). A Vango Jura Polycotton Drive Away Awning can be provided for an additional fee, giving you extra space and flexible sleeping arrangements. A double (5cm) memory foam mattress topper will be provided for extra comfort. We ask that you use the matrass protector provided. One of us will be able to show you around Fred and answer any questions you have when you pick him up. We will also send you a link to a video demonstration for setting up the Vango Drive Away awning if needed. We live in a residential area where there’s non-permit parking available. We hope you will love Fred as much as we do, please treat Fred and his accessories with respect to help us keep him looking his best. Please see below for information on what’s included with Fred’s hire and collection/returns.

    We hired Fred the van for a weekend, and the whole experience was brilliant. Fred himself was comfortable, and really well equipped. Louis and Elen were brilliant hosts, everything was explained to us when we picked the van up and they were available for any queries over the weekend. Thanks again for making our weekend even better with the comfort of a camper van!

    Brilliant camper van! I would highly recommend. Van itself is lovely to drive and contains everything you would need. We travelled as 2 adults and two tall teenagers and we all fitted (required a bit of jiggling at times!) Really well stocked with equipment and has water and elec hook up. Louis and Elen were super helpful and flexible with the hire. If you need a van I can't recommend highly enough. Thanks

    Great short trip with our two daughters in the van. We discovered some nice areas of wales and the van was super well equipped. Thanks

    Louis is just lovely and was quick, helpful and friendly in all his communications. The daily rate for the van was less than some others are charging and it was in great condition/very well equipped. We especially appreciated the additional mattress topper and the generous start-up provisions. I'd encourage others to hire this van because it enabled us to have a really comfortable Welsh break.
