Running a camper hire business is hard work and can be very stressful at times, but right now I wouldn't change it for the world. The suns shining, we're busy and have had some really lovely people venture out in the campers. Last week James took Peaches out for the weekend [...]

Father Christmas. Have you ever pondered on who’s behind the big white beard and what they’re really like? With so many ‘meet Santa in his grotto’ events up and down the country at this time of year, I’ve always wondered. Is Santa actually a grumpy old man, sick to death of [...]
We've just received some great news from the people that run the Wedding Industry Awards and are pleased to announce we have made it through to the Regional Finals for 2014. The awards are based on all the great feedback we've received over the last year from the many happy [...]
I just love everything about classic campervans, the way they chug up steep hilly roads, the laid back driving position and the fact they all seem to have a character of their own.

Iain and Abi have just returned from a lovely little short break, taking in some of the wonderful sites across Dorset and the Jurrasic coast in Mango.

We’ve just come back from a lovely little trip to the Isle of Wight and would definitely recommend a few places to see if you’ve never visited the island before.

It's been a long time coming but finally after many years of yearning, we have purchased a beautiful 1965 Splitscreen VW.

We’d like you to get the most out of our campervans and to look back fondly remembering a great experience. To do this it’s important to recognise that taking to the wheel of a 40 year old vehicle is nothing like driving a modern car - there is a knack to driving them. The good news is that anyone can master this and it all starts with your mental approach and a little planning.
This is the type of family planning needed when the previous type was ignored! Handy for working out when to book time off and holidays in your campervan
