Meet Campo
Campo is a late T2 Bay classic VW campervan, with a newly fitted straight lift roof. With his stunning blue coachwork and the colour coded Porsche front seats and new interior, he is a very special campervan.
Campo is better suited as a two-berth campervan, giving you lots of head space due to the straight lift roof.
Having undergone a full restoration and new fit out, Campo is ready start new adventures and explore the West Country.
Interior
Campo is fitted with a beautiful a new kitchen unit housing a really good size fridge with freezer compartment. A 2-ring gas burner hob and a sink which is fed by a pump from a 10-litre water container is also fitted. Additionally, this unit includes a cutlery draw and a storage cupboard which is great for the keeping all those essentials inside. We also provide funky storage crate which has the added benefit of doubling as extra seating. The crate can also be lifted out of the campervan, if required. Additional storage is available under the rock and roll bed and in the over bed locker.
Sleeping
Campo is better suited as a two-berth campervan, giving you lots of head space due to the straight lift roof. He is fitted with a full width ‘rock and roll’ double bed which is 1.45m wide and 1.83m long, therefore making it the same size a standard double! If you need extra sleeping space you can also hire an awning with a sleeping pod.
Keeping you safe
All our VW Campervans are fitted with gas safety lockers, with drop vents to outside. Keeping you safe is a priority so we ensure that gas installations are annually tested in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. In addition, we fit each campervan with a smoke detector, carbon monoxide alarm and fire extinguisher. Campo is fitted with 3 x Rear Seat belts, 2 x 3 point and one lap belt in the centre.
Campo’s Electric’s
A modern power management system is fitted. This provides charge to both the vehicle and leisure batteries when connected to electric hook up on site or via a split charge when driving. We have provided LED lighting throughout, to include discrete LED mood lighting. The electrical system is tested certified annually with all power leads and appliances being PAT tested.
Peace of mind
We enjoy maintaining our VW campervans and we take every care to keep them to a high standard. In the unlikely event that you experience a break down, we provide RAC breakdown cover and recovery service. Each campervan also carries a spares pack, which the breakdown service can use, giving you the best chance that the camper can be fixed and you can continue with your journey.
Campo’s size
Some campsites need to know the size of the campervan before they allow you to book, so that they allocate you with a suitable pitch. Campo is approximately 4.5m in length and 1.75 wide.
