Additional information

It has a solar panel for off-grid battery charging. Note that if you decide to go off-grid, we cannot guarantee that the sun will shine! Low power lights are supplied so the only issue with batteries running low might be the use of a compressor fridge (note a condenser fridge comes with the van) and/or the pump to draw water for the instant hot water system and shower. It may be wise to shower when the sun is out! It also contains all cooking gear and kettle, and a slide on awning. The fridge in the van is a gas or propane (Condenser) type which is not as efficient as a Compressor fridge, and cannot be relied upon in very hot weather (i.e. over 35 inside the van). If you require to keep beverages or food cold in very hot weather you may need to look at a compressor fridge or esky with ice. We have had feedback that the mattresses are quite firm. You may want to put your own mattress topper on if you prefer a soft mattress. Please note - You must let us know if you are travelling down a dirt road of any decent distance, as we will need to protect the fridge vents from the entry of dust. If dust gets into the workings of the fridge, it may lead to the failure of the fridge operating off gas

John has an excellent host and gave me a good briefing on the caravan beforehand. The caravan amenities were excellent- fridge, solar powered lights and hot water camping shower too! Interior is a bit dated but to be expected for this vintage. Excellent value for money.

Though its old it was comfortable and we survived a thunderstorm cosy and warm. There is a fan and heater, washing line, pots, crockery cutlery.just take a hose to fill up the water tank so you can pump water into the sink. The step into the van was high for the elderly user so we used an extra step. John is very helpful and delivered the van then set everything up for us- we had a very enjoyable time.
