Interior

We’ve been working to make the interior of Ruby really lovely for you. Ruby now comes with a new kitchen unit which houses a really good size fridge with freezer compartment. The unit also comes with a 2-ring gas burner hob and a sink which is fed by a pump from a 10-litre water container. We’ve also added a cutlery draw and a storage cupboard which is great for the keeping all those essentials inside.

Sleeping

The full width Rock & Roll bed, is so easy to change from a bench seat into a bed in just a couple of seconds. With a width of 1.45m and total length of L 1.83m therefore making it the same size a standard double! Ruby is also fitted with a small double bed in the elevating roof which is ideal for children or small adults.

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. Ruby is fitted with 3 x Rear Seat belts, 2 x 3 point and one lap belt in the centre.

Ruby’s Electric’s

Ruby is fitted with a modern power management system that 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.

Ruby’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. Ruby is approximately 4.5m in length and 1.75 wide.
