How long can I have the van?

As long as you like, If you wish to take for longer than 3 weeks we can offer an additional discount, contact for details.

Can you deliver the van to me?

Yes we can for an additional fee, please contact for a quote.

Can I fit a child seat?

Yes you can fit seat belt type child seats, our campers do not have ISOFIX.

Do you have a hook up?

Yes a hook up cable is provided. We recommend if possible always trying to get a camping pitch with electric hook up. However everything in the van will work off the 12V leisure battery except the 2 mains 3 pin plugs. If you wish to use these then you will need hook up.

Can you go off grid?

Our vans are fitted with a 250W solar panel, when there is a good amount of sunshine the leisure battery can last indefinitely. The diesel heater also runs from the main tank and leisure battery making our vans great for camping without hook up. It is the hirers responsibility to make sure they pick a suitable camping spot.

Do I need to bring bedding?

Yes you will need bedding. We recommend sleeping bags (to save storage space) or a sheet and duvet if you like your home comforts. If you desire additional comfort you can bring a mattress topper.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, well behaved dogs are allowed for £5 per day. Please try to keep them off the upholstery or bring a blanket to put on the upholstery for them to sit on.

Is there a toilet or shower?

A toilet and/or solar shower can be added. The toilet is £5 per day and the solar shower is £2.50 per day. Please note a solar shower requires some sun to heat the water. This can only be used outside of the van.

Is there a mileage limit?

There is no mileage limit with our vans.

Is there a fuel charge?

The fuel must be brought back at the same level it was before setting off. We recommend you take a picture of the gauge before you leave. If the amount brought back is lower, a fuel fee could be deducted from the deposit.

Are any of the vans automatic?

At present we only have manuals, we will be adding autos in the future so watch this space.

What happens if I return late?

It is important to bring back the van by 12:00pm latest. We have a very small window to clean the camper inside and out before the next hire. An unauthorised late drop off could result in an additional charge (see the terms and conditions).  Depending on other bookings a late drop off can be possible, nearer the time or during your holiday please contact us if you wish to bring back later and we will check the possibility.
