Additional information

Enjoy some little luxuries when you hire our Panda. Here you will find all your basic needs plus a little more. I have taken care of all the basic needs, you just need to pack your clothes, pillows and blankets and of course food and beverages. Put on a great big smile as you cruise down one of our many highways or to one of the many faraway places in this great land of ours. The fully appointed kitchen includes all your plates, bowls, mugs, tumblers, pots and pans, toaster and jug, cutlery and even some wine glasses. The pantry has cling wrap, alfoil and paper towel. Under the sink are your basic needs including dish liquid, spray and wipe, disinfectant, wash cloths, tea towels, a small kitchen bin and liner. I have also put in some rope and pegs to hitch up a clothesline. The expanda is air conditioned, has plumbed hot water to the sink, microwave, 3way fridge, gas stove and oven. There is a TV, stereo and a couple of portable fans. On one end is a queen bed and a double on the other. The side lounge converts to a full size single- this needs to be set up if required please advise up booking. Both end beds have comfy mattress toppers and privacy curtains. For health reasons we don’t supply pillows. Our Panda is fully equipped for your off the grid camping. Your location will be discussed upon booking. The Expanda includes a large solar panel to keep the battery charged while off road and the fridge runs on gas, (fitted 9kg bottle) as well as battery (through an Anderson plug), and 240 mains power. If required I can provide a 12vlt shower, portaloo and shower tent. Cleaning of the loo is up to you. (charges will apply if not bought back clean) The Expanda has screens all round with bed end flies to give extra protection if it rains. There is a roll out awning on one side. I also have a full annex but as it is quite heavy, it’s only included if requested. Linen is not included in the fees but can be provided for a small extra fee to cover laundering. A BBQ can be provided for an additional charge. (cleaning of the BBQ is also up to you or you can choose for me to clean it for you) Whilst we say no off road, good dirt roads into property or similar are allowed but please advise prior to hire. Good judgement and common sense is also required to make your trip successful. Towing experience is a must. I don't allow creek crossings. Remember the rule "If its flooded Forget it" I want you all to come home. I do expect the Panda to be returned with the inside looking as it did when it left home. I have provided cleaning equipment so please respect my van and keep it nice for everyone to enjoy. Photographs are taken prior to hire. Any damage is the responsible of the hirer. Insurance will be accessed if the damages cannot be agreed upon and paid for privately. Please note- I do not allow bikes or any other sporting equipment to be stored inside the van. Any cabinet damage- timber scuffs depending on size will be required to be compensated for.

  This isn't a brand new van and you need to hire it with realistic expectations. We wanted some home comforts like beds, air-conditioning and a fridge during our holiday and we didn't want to pay the world. This was great for us and met our needs. Christina was responsive and helpful and gave us all the information we needed to use and set up the van. We plan to do it again next year

  Van was suitable for a family of 5, with the lounge converted into a single bed for youngest child. We were out most of the day so only really needed van to sleep. Otherwise if you are using van for a longer stay I'd suggest something bigger, and cleaner. Would be handy to have some chairs and table available. Van was delivered and set up. Communication with owner was very limited and not very prompt. Could do with some fresh, clean kitchen items eg. kettle, toaster, cutlery. Overall it was just ok.

  This was my first time using Camplify and Christina made the whole experience so easy. The van was super cosy and we loved our time away. Absolute luxury compared to camping in tents! Will definitely hire again.
