Hi. Thanks for looking at our campervan ‘Mervyn the Merc’ Please read all of the details before booking. Merv is a Mercedes extra-long wheelbase sprinter, professionally converted to accommodate all of your needs, whether you are on a campsite or out on the open road. Measurements are: 7 metres (21 feet) long. 3.1 metres (10 feet) high. 2.4 metres (7.5 feet) wide. Merv boasts 220Amp of power with 1 x large lorry battery, 240v hookup for campsites and a split charge system that charges the batteries as you drive. There is also a 2 x150w solar system to keep you ticking over whilst camping off grid Internally: The spacious cab has 2 super comfy captains chairs. The passenger’s seat is adjustable and will swivel to maximise the living area. The bench seat and dining table (perfect for a cozy dinner for 2) converts into a double bed where you can watch a DVD or the TV in comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped and has 2 gas burners, a microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster and most importantly a full size cafetiere! You’ll find everything you need to cook meals. We provide a starter pack of tea, coffee, sugar and milk as well as some essentials like ketchup. We also provide a portable BBQ. There are plenty of cupboards for storing clothes, food and alcohol. At the rear of the van is a double bed, situated above the garage area. This is 10cm smaller than a double bed so great for 2 children or 2 adults who like to snuggle. There is a pull-down DVD player here too, as well as a skylight to look at the stars. There are also 2 USB chargers for charging portable devices. The shower room is at the back. It has a flushing toilet, shower and fold down sink. Very useful when staying off grid. All of the windows have blackout blinds and the heating system makes it very cozy, even in winter. There are further USB sockets in front of the fridge, in the boot and in one of the overhead cupboards. There is USB lighting, including mood lighting for nights in. The garage is at the rear of the van and has plenty of space. The lower level has the outdoor furniture, the grey water tank and levelling ramps. The upper level has space for bicycles, surfboards, luggage and anything else you can fit in there. The garage is also heated so you can dry wet coats, clothes and footwear. We provide 2 x moon chairs, a portable BBQ, small table and 2 chairs for eating alfresco. We also provide bedding for 1 double bed and towels for 2 people. (please do not use them as beach towels) at no extra cost. Fleecy blankets are also stowed away in case you want to sit out and watch the stars. Externally: There is a large awning to provide shade during sunny weather as well as 2 powerful exterior LED lights on the passenger side of the vehicle. There is also a grey (waste) water tank provided which needs to be fitted under the van once you have pitched up. You are welcome to leave your car on our driveway whilst you are enjoying your trip, however, this is at your own risk.

    Colin and Nadine are an absolute dream, as is the charming Mervyn. The van is great and had everything that we needed for our break, including kitchen accessories (and two cafetieres!). The van controls are simple enough, and the heating was very welcome. Mervyn is easy to drive, and was comfortable both on motorways and smaller roads - being a Mercedes the gearing is good and there is enough power to not have to crawl up hills at 20mph. As there were only 2 of us, we didn't try the fold out bed, but the fixed bed was perfect for us. There is lots of storage space and the van was comfortable in torrential rain and severe winds. We'll definitely book again when the time calls. Thank you again, both. Xxx

    Merv the Merc is as exactly as described and more. Colin and Nadine were perfect hosts, added some extra treats (delicious cake!) which were appreciated. Handover simple, location ideal and we had a wonderful week in Cornwall. Would thoroughly recommend. The van has everything you need and more.

    First class experience with very friendly and very professional van owners. The van was in excellent condition, very clean, very well equipped. We spent a fantastic break in it and would definitely hire it again. Thoroughly recommended!!!

    Merv the Merc is a great van with plenty of room and all the facilities you could wish for. Because the owners use it for their own holidays they know all the little things you might need, and they go the extra mile with nice touches too. Colin and Nadine went out of their way to make the trip the best it could be. Would recommend without hesitation

    Our 10-day holiday in Merv was epic! Merv is very spacious and well proportioned with everything you'd need for a home away from home, including, bedding, towels, cooking utensils, outdoor table and chairs, fire pit, games and DVDs ... We loved the dry room at the back where we stored our wetsuits and other items. Communication with Nadine and Colin was perfect. They provided directions for the pick up, and recommendations on where to visit, allowed us to park our car whilst we were in Merv, and a lovely cream tea gift box (jam first!!) Merv is well designed with a great spec. While other campers battled with high wind and rain, we were comfortably cocooned in Merv! We can't wait to plan our next trip!!
