A friendly camper indeed! Compact outside but spacious inside (seriously). A dream to tow at less than 2 tonnes, and small on-road footprint. Two bunks and 'Queen' bed. Kids really love the bunks, each comes with its own locker, reading light and power plug. Beautiful condition Comes with all crockery and extras. Pillow cases, sheets, doona's and covers included (additional fee). The van is stacked with everything you need for your leisurely trip away. All the mod cons including - 150L fridge - Hot water - Air con/Heat - Diesel heater - Outdoor shower - Pull out outdoor kitchen/bench - Stereo with speakers in and out - Bike rack for 2 bikes - Indoor TV -battery for off grid -80L water tank I'll leave the camp stove and two adult chairs/table in there for you also to use, no charge. You'll have a ball in the van Included elec brakes if required 13 pin connector but I have a 7 pin adaptor Need some decent towing experience, but the upside of this van is that it has a smaller road footprint than most so it is user friendly...hence the name!

We had a wet/rainy time but the van kept us warm and comfortable. Lots of space, great essentials inside and reasonably easy to tow. The kids loved the bunk sleeping areas. Theres some general wear and tear but it definitely didnt affect our stay. Highly recommend Gareths caravan for future travels.

Gareth was a lovely host, very responsive and helpful throughout our journey. The caravan was spotless and very well equipped with all essentials for a family trip. Highly recommend. We'll book again.
