Darren's Converted van

‘Finley’ is our professionally converted VW Crafter Expedition Campervan. He is very economical, easy to drive and great fun whether you are travelling through cities or countryside.

Our vans are designed to maximise space and comfort. ‘Finley’ has a toilet and an internal as well as external shower. Some of the other features include a towbar, pop-up roof, external lighting, Bluetooth and hands-free technology. There is a smart TV in the back of the vehicle which can be viewed from the seating area or the main bed.

Blackout blinds are fitted on all windows to provide extra privacy and we have added a thermostatic night heater so this vehicle can be used all year round without the worry of feeling the cold.

There are four seatbelts, room for three people to sit at the front and one in the rear, all with fitted three-point seatbelts. The seats are comfortable and perfect for relaxing. Isofix is not fitted in our campervans.

Numerous USB and electrical sockets can be found around the vehicle with plenty of storage available. This vehicle is designed for both short and long trips so is capable of touring Europe with enough space to take everything you need. It is fitted with all terrain tyres.

As this is an off-grid campervan it has a large battery bank and solar panel system. Whether you are touring or parking up for a few days you should not need to worry about running out of power or having to plug in. On average you can expect up to five days in Winter and longer in Summer without needing to charge the batteries. Additional mains hook up lead is provided in case necessary.

The kitchen area contains a small table and is fitted with a fridge-freezer, sink with hot and cold running water and a two-burner gas hob. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, crockery and cutlery.

A double bed is at the rear along with a high-quality orthopedic memory foam mattress. The roof can be raised to access an additional bed that is large enough to sleep either two children or one adult.

There is an awning that can be used when stationary enabling you to enjoy the outside space and scenery.

The garage section is equipped with power and lighting as well as running water for cleaning off bikes or pets. This can also be used as an external shower to use after a day at the beach. There is enough room to keep four adult sized bikes to insure they are kept safe overnight or when travelling.

Each campervan is cleaned before and after all bookings. Due to the recent pandemic we also now carry out a deep clean to ensure your protection and safety from Covid and other viruses using antibacterial products and a steamer to sanitise all surfaces. Carpets and seats are disinfected. This means we are forced to pass on the additional fee of £50 that is due on collection of the camper.

A full inventory and vehicle inspection will be carried out when you collect the vehicle and on return. Any internal or external damage or missing items will be deducted from your deposit.

Pets are allowed however this needs to be booked in advance with an additional fee of £50 which needs to be paid on collection.

Collection is between 3pm and 6pm with drop off between 8am and 11am. If you need to amend these times, please contact us in advance and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.

We have secure off road parking for your vehicle available during the time you are away in the camper.

We ensure our campervans are clean, tidy and fresh ready for you to collect. Please ensure you return them in the same condition.

Please be aware that should the government impose another lockdown, we will allow you to defer any existing bookings and rearrange with alternative available dates.
