Paul – 2 1/2 berth Luxury Mercedes Campervan, with kennel - Inclusive Insurance

Here is our very comfortable 2 1/2 berth Mercedes campervan built in 2021.

****New for 2024**** We have now converted half of the garage space into a safe space for your pooch. The kennel offers a secure space to travel, and a comfortable sleeping area for your pooch to call its own. The space is accessible both from inside and the back of the van and has a thick padded (waterproof) bed for comfort. You will need to bring your own dog blankets and toys etc. Don't worry if you don't have a pooch, we can remove the padded bed giving you the extra storage space.

We built this luxurious van for an extended trip around Europe. We built it to be very comfortable for two people, but it will berth a 3rd (small) person if required. The van is fitted with belted seats for 3 people.

The front double bench seat swivels around 180 degrees to provide double seating in the accommodation area, and in addition to the side seat provides ample seating for up to 4 people. The table swivels and rotates so you can move it to any position that suits.

The main double bed is permanently fixed, so you won't need to assemble it every night, and is fitted at the back of the van above the huge garage space.

There are fly screens fitted on the side door and back door so if you're lucky enough to park up in warm weather you can sleep with the back doors open and wake up to amazing views whilst still keeping the mosquitos at bay.

The stylish and practical kitchen is fitted with a full size oven with grill, a 3 burner gas stove and a microwave oven. The LPG can be filled up at many locations in the UK and Europe but a full tank is included in the rental. European gas fill adapters are provided so you'll have no problems filling up either in the UK or Europe. There is also an external gas point accessible at the side door to use the BBQ (provided) if the weather permits. Kitchen equipment and utensils are provided. We have even provided a pod coffee machine with some pods to start you off. There is a large 90lt fridge, with a small freezer compartment (to make ice). We can also provide a separate 26lt fridge/freezer in the garage space if required at an additional cost.

The roof is full of solar panels (500w) and the fresh water tank holds over 150lt so if 'off grid camping' is your thing this is the van for you! There is a 2kW inverter fitted so you can enjoy mains electricity when 'off grid'.

If the creature comforts of a camp site are more your thing then you also have the option to 'hook up', this will give you 240v mains power, without having to keep an eye on the batteries. A hook up cable is provided.

There is a full blown-air central heating and hot water system, so you can stay toasty in the winter. There are also two roof vents with fans to keep cool air flowing through the van in the warmer weather.

The practical bathroom is fitted with a shower and toilet. The bathroom is also heated so you can use it as a drying room for your wet clothes if you're caught out in a downpour.

There is plenty of wardrobe and overhead locker space for your clothes, and a hidden combination safe to keep your valuables secure.

We provide black out blinds for the cab area, and all the other windows have blinds/fly-screens built in.

The van is fitted with smoke and gas detectors, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. A European breakdown kit (warning triangle, Hi-Viz vests etc) is also provided, just in case.

The garage space is very large, you will have plenty of room here to store extra clothes/bulky items etc. and store your souvenirs as you travel.

If cycling is your thing, then the bicycle rack on the back door holds two bicycles securely. The rack is permanently attached to the van, so you can safely lock your bike to it. If your bikes are electric, you can remove them from the bikes and charge them in the garage space, using either 240v mains or 12v dc.

There is an outside shower, so you can wash yourself/bike/wellies etc. This is perfect for washing off the sand after a day on the beach.

The van has an internet router fitted with an external antenna, reasonable use of data is included (this may not include some European countries). This means that you can use the fitted TV to stream television or movies on those rainy evenings when you don't want to venture outside.

We will provide a comprehensive instruction folder which shows where to find everything and how it all works, but we will also be happy to answer questions if you need help whilst on your journey.

Paul is also advertised on Camplify, and we hire directly from our own website shown on the photos. We are happy to take bookings from here, or the other platforms.

We are dog friendly people so if you have a small dog which is well behaved then feel free to ask. This must be agreed in advance, so no surprises on pick up day please.

Festivals may also be OK, please ask.

European trips may also be OK, we love to travel Europe ourselves so know how much fun this can be.

Two people will be VERY comfortable in this van, even on an extended trip 'off grid'.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, We're very proud of our van, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
