An ex 12 seat shuttle bus converted into a livable adventure machine, The Space Shuttle is all about the journey with the added bonus of the destination. Full blockout curtains make for a peaceful sleep. The outdoor BBQ drawer creates a great social living space for cooking outdoors, I love cooking pizza and roasts on the BBQ! For those rainy days an induction cooktop is setup inside, especially good when stealth camping. Does your morning routine include the familiar aroma of tea or coffee, inside the kitchen cupboard you will find a mocha pot, hand grinder and selections of tea. Heading off grid for a few days? The solar system will power the fridge and charge your devices with both USB and standard power outlets throughout the van. There is enough water storage to drink and washup for at least 3 to 4 days. Fans and vents will keep you cool in summer and the inbuilt diesel heater is handy when the temps drop. There is plenty of opportunity for some some fine dining with a stocked spice rack and a good assortment of utensils and crockery in the kitchen kit. The Space Shuttle is all in for adventure. Whether your are off to the snow, chasing waves, going climbing, hiking, working remotely or just simply getting out and about, it will be a great companion. Snow chains, recovery boards for levelling and a light bar for night driving is all on board. Internal storage works well for shorter boards and plenty of gear otherwise roof racks will do the trick. Bring on your questions as I'm super excited to get you on the road and adventuring!

    I had a great time in Mitch's van. It's a very cosy and spacious setup with everything I needed - kept me cosy during some very wet days as well. Great having a fridge, sink, water and induction cooktop. And some power with solar panels on the roof. The diesel engine does ok if you take it easy, although it is a bit underpowered up any sort of hill. Mitch was great to deal with - thanks Mitch for renting out your van and doing such a great job with the setup!

    We really enjoyed our trip, the Van was as explained/described plus more with a few comfort features that just made sense. We had easy communication and relaxed honest vibes. I highly recommend the Space Shuttle!

    NSW South coast from Depot Beach to Mystery Bay. Stunning seascapes and great national parks along the way.

    Our first experience in a van and we are now looking to buy one of our own after such an amazing experience!!! Our trip was made so care free due to all the inclusions, how well the van was set up and equipped, and how easy the pick up and drop off was with Mitch, who is an absolute legend! We even left some belongings behind in the van and Mitch contacted us straight away which was greatly appreciated. 10/10 recommend :)

    Great van at a great price, Took the van to the bathurst 12hr enduro for 6 nights, had more then enough solar to run phones/laptops and accessories. The fridge, bbq and sink made camping easier, Mitch was a legend to deal with and answered any questions asked, will hire again!

Hi, my name is Mitch. I love to build things and go exploring around Australia, and built a van to do just that. At the moment, I have a few other projects on the go and one of those includes going to Albania for 6 months I would love to share the joys of travelling in my self contained camper with others! My friend Tash will be renting enjoying and share the space shuttle with you all whilst Im away :)
