The Central Coast's most unique Campervan available to hire: Meet Paquita (MacMasters Beach)

Holidays are about those magic moments: midnight swims under the stars, the thrill of discovering hidden trails - and the freedom of uncharted roads. So why settle for a uninspiring, cookie-cutter campervan - that fades into the background of your memories like a tired hotel room?

If you'd prefer a van rental that doesn't just transport you - but can help bring your most magical road trip dreams to life; look no further than Paquita the luxury campervan from Juan the Van Fitouts.

This head-turning, Mediterranean-inspired gem, now available for hire right now on the Central Coast, is anything but ordinary.

Imagine this: rinsing off under a heated outdoor shower after an evening swim under the stars. Kicking back for a nap in a chic, Airbnb-style interior that feels more like a boutique, Greek Islands villa than a campervan. And whipping up a hot, gourmet dinner in a fully equipped kitchen with an induction cooktop.

Not Bought, But Built: Meet Paquita's Creator Jake

The magic of Paquita isn't just in its stylish design and luxurious features; it's also deeply rooted in the passion of its creator - Jake. A Central Coast local with a surprising side hustle - transforming vans into unique mobile escapes while also touring with his band, Sons of East – Jake's dedication lives in  every detail of Paquita.

"The coolest thing about Paquita is... the livability of this van," Jake explains. "The way you can just flow from the entry to the exit at the back... it's very livable, I think. There's lots of space and you got lots of storage for all your stuff. You can get surfboards in there as well."

Jake's journey into van conversions wasn't a traditional one. As he shared, "When Covid came around I had a lot of spare time... I accidentally won a massive [van] on an online auction. It wasn't actually what I wanted, but I thought, 'Alright, well I guess we're going all in now.'" 

This unexpected start ignited a passion, and with the help of his builder father, Jake honed his skills. "Dad's a builder, so I always had him to stop me from when I was about to make a bad decision," he laughs, highlighting the collaborative spirit behind his creations. "It's kind of interesting because he approaches building a van from a very traditional building sense, whereas me... I approach it from a different way. When we both meet, you get something that's sturdy, reliable, but also utilises techniques that you would only use in a van."

Paquita, for Jake, represents a pinnacle of his van-building journey. "I love getting inspired by different materials - and the ways you can use space," Jake explains. "Unlike a house where you've got enough space, in a van, you have to think about every millimeter. You can get quite creative." This meticulous approach is clear in Paquita's thoughtful layout and innovative features.

For those considering a Central Coast adventure in Paquita, Jake's advice is simple and heartfelt: "Do it... it's the best way to see Australia... you'll be able to get to so many amazing spots. Take your time, enjoy it."

His passion for the open road and the unique experiences a campervan offers is infectious, making Paquita not just a vehicle, but an invitation to explore the Central Coast with a local's spirit infused within its design.
