Ford Transit, 2 berth, (2018) Motorhome for hire in Hertfordshire | CS4084172

Description of Beds: Mahale sleeps two people in a small double that’s perfect for spooning! Transform the seating area into this snuggly den by releasing the table down and rearranging the cushions.

Description of Electrical Setup: Mahale has internal 12v and 240v electrics, powered either by solar when you’re off-grid and it’s a sunny day or via a mains hook-up when you’re at a campsite. There are six 240v mains plug sockets in total, conveniently placed under the seating area and in the kitchen. Whilst Mahale does have off-grid capabilities for 1-2 days, high-wattage appliances such as the oven and induction hob will require a mains hook-up if used for an extensive time.

Parking: If you drive to collect Mahale, you are welcome to leave your car in her usual spot which is directly outside the house on a wide and safe residential road. If you come by train, Hitchin station is the nearest station and is roughly a 5-minute drive in a taxi of which there are lots outside of the station. A drop-off and collection of Mahale could be arranged by her owner at an extra cost depending on location, so please enquire about this.

The sink is covered by a work surface and there is an extra fold-out work surface to give you more room to prep your delicious meals.

Water and Sanitation: Mahale has two large water tanks fixed underneath the van, the freshwater tank can be filled up from the side of the van and water from the grey tank can be released from underneath. There is a brass rain shower that is heated by a 6L boiler which is located under the seating area and the kitchen tap has a pull-out nozzle to make washing up a little more bougie. For your convenience, Mahale also has a toilet under the sink that can be pulled out, or it can also be kept in the shower when not in use.

Audio Equipment: Mahale has a Bluetooth music system in the cab to make your road trip epic.

Type of Heating: Mahale has a beautiful log burner that was handmade in Glastonbury by a small artisan company.

Extra Information: Mahale’s earthy, neutral, modern design creates a calm and safe space to decompress. So much thought has gone into sourcing sustainable materials where possible, for example, the floor is made of cork which is a great alternative to plastic, the worktops are made of waste sawdust, and the books were sourced from charity shops. It is perfect for a solo retreat space – light an incense, spend hours cooking wholesome nourishing food and brew a heart-opening cacao. Equally, this space is perfect for friends or a couple to connect – light the log burner, crack open a bottle of wine, and get cosy.

Conversion Story: Mahale’s owner Jodie decided to reconnect with her gypsy soul in 2022 and convinced her mum to sell their co-owned home to start a new life. Jodie bought this van as an empty shell which was then partially converted by a company and completed by herself and her friends. Jodie's mum also bought a van after the house sale, drove across Europe with the dog and bought a house in Montenegro! Jodie now splits her time between the UK and Montenegro. Mahale has been a safe haven amongst the chaos of transition and she can’t wait to meet you!
