Conversion Story: Pearl began life as a humble builders' van. After 3 years of faithful service she was purchased by her previous owner, who was a builder and a keen surfer, and converted Pearl into a surf friendly campervan. For 3 years she toured the beaches of the UK enjoying the sand and the sea air, until the impending arrival of a baby meant her owners couldn’t take care of her anymore and she needed a new home. She came to her present home in Northamptonshire in 2023 after her new owner spotted her Scandi style, spacious well-equipped living space and her plentiful luggage space, perfect for her and her 2 dogs, Freddie and Mabel to explore in.
