Ernie is our new VW T6 SWB which has been converted by Caledonian Campers to a very high spec so has all the mod cons to make your trip as comfortable as possible. As he is a Short Wheel Base van with power steering he is easy to drive around even the narrowest of country roads and ideal for those with little or no experience in driving a van.
Ernie has 3 or 4 layout options which we will demonstrate to you before you set off. With all seats front facing and 4 seatbelts he can transport up to 4 people comfortably. Once you’ve reached your destination, the front seat can be spun round and the top popped up with ease to create a great living space with plenty of head room, ideal for chilling or cooking. A table can be fitted in between both double seats so 4 can sit comfortably around the dining table for dinner. We also provide a table and chairs for al fresco dining to allow you to relax under the awning and enjoy the views. For sleeping, the van accommodates up to four people, with two on the bed ‘downstairs’ and two on the pull down bunk bed in the pop up top.
The van is fitted with a 2 ring gas burning hob, oven and grill for cooking, a sink with cold running water and a good sized 50l fridge which can be run from the leisure battery while wild camping. He has a fully stocked kitchen with everything you might need for cooking meals and even enough tea, coffee, milk and sugar for that all important cuppa on your first morning in the van.
Ernie is fitted with a 240v electrical hook up allowing you to connect to electric systems in campsites and a domestic socket so you can bring any of your own electrical devices that you just can’t live without.
It also has a diesel heater meaning the van can be hired in all weathers without any worry about being cold.
Our hire rates are competitive at £100 per night. We can be flexible on pick up and drop off days and times.
Ernie comes with fully comprehensive insurance for two drivers aged 30- 75 and comprehensive RAC breakdown cover.
