Peugeot Boxer, 4 berth, (2018) Motorhome for hire | CS4084325

Description of Beds: Sleeps 4 people in fixed beds. The double bed is 185cm x 135cm and has a very comfy memory foam mattress. The two singles (which can be changed to a double) are 75cm x 190cm and also memory foam. All beds have windows next to them which can open to allow air in. All beds will fit adults (the lower bed may be a little snug for anyone over 5’11”), however the upper beds can be a little close to the ceiling and were designed for children.

Description of Seating: There are 5 forward facing belted seats. All seats are capable of fitting child car seats and have headrests and standard 3-point seatbelts. The rear two seats have ISOFIX points. Three seats in the front all spin to face the rear two seats with a full-width table to give a spacious seating and eating area. The table can also split allowing for flexibility. The rear seats can be removed individually if necessary to give more room.

Description of Electrical Setup: The van is fitted with a high-specification Victron electrical system designed to be off-grid with no need for it to be plugged into the mains (Although does have a mains plugin if required). 375W of solar panels on the roof keep the 110Ah LiPO battery topped up and the battery-to-battery smart charger will support that when the engine is running. There are plenty of USB, 12V and 240V sockets and plugs around the van. The 2500W inverter/charger can support the van’s Nespresso coffee machine, a milk frother or even a hair dryer.

Type of Heating: The van has a Truma 6e combi boiler which warms the van up to a high temperature very quickly through a number of different vents through the front and back of the van. The boiler also provides hot water for the sink and inside or outside showers. The boiler is a gas boiler and the LPG tank is underslung and refillable at service station LPG points. The gas also supplies the gas hob and gas oven and grill.

Cooking Equipment: The van is equipped with a single very powerful gas hob and a gas cooker/grill. There is also a large 85-litre electric compressor fridge freezer to keep thi+ngs chilled and frozen. The kitchen includes all the essentials for eating, drinking and cooking which includes a whistling kettle, tumblers, plates, bowls, cutlery, a frying pan, saucepan, plenty of cooking utensils, chopping knife and board, colander and of course a bottle opener and corkscrew. There is also a Nespresso coffee machine (for standard capsules, a few are provided) and a milk frother with a variety of cups collected from where we’ve been. There’s also a dustpan, brush and handheld vacuum cleaner.

Water and Sanitation: The 90-litre water tank holds plenty of fresh water with a water filter on the kitchen tap (although the tank should be filled from drinkable water sources at all times). There is a hosepipe and adaptor for filling the tank if required. A gauge inside shows the water level. The waste water tank is 60 litres and can be drained easily at many suitable locations using a switch inside the van. The inside shower and toilet have a heated towel rail which will dry towels and clothes quickly when the heater is on. The shower has both a large rain head and a detachable showerhead. There is also an outside shower for washing dogs, bikes, children, and even the messiest adults too. The toilet is a compost toilet which separates the waste to reduce odours and has a small fan to help. There is also an extractor fan on the bathroom roof to remove steam.

Audio Equipment: The van has the standard head unit with slightly better quality speakers in the front. There is a USB connection to the radio so you can play your own music from your phone/Spotify and allows hands-free calling. There is a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker provided in the rear for relaxed evenings.

About the area: The van is located on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border very close to the M5 and M50. The location is on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, Forest of Dean and slightly further away is Wales with its hills and beaches. The great motorway connections mean you can be in Devon, Cornwall or even the Lake District or Welsh Hills within a few hours.

Parking: Parking can be provided free of charge for your vehicle. If it is a short hire then it will be on a driveway but for slightly longer hires it will be where the van is stored in a secure caravan storage location close by. We will make sure your arrival and welcome to the van are simple and help with logistics. If you’re coming by rail then we are 20 mins from Worcestershire Parkway or Cheltenham Spa railway stations.

Extra Information: The van is 6 meters long but has a double reverse camera to make parking that bit easier. The van comes with a 3m square awning that slides onto an awning rail. Very easy to fit especially with 2 people and provides a sun/rain shade. Toiletries are included with the van. Bedding and towels are also included with the hire. A camping table and a couple of camping chairs are provided with the booking if required. There is also a roof box and bike carrier (for 2 bikes) available if requested.

Conversion Story: The van was purchased from a recycling company which stopped trading during the lockdown. The conversion was completed to a high specification for the purpose of the family off-grid camping away from the bustle of busy campsites. The brief for conversion was for 4 fixed beds, 5 belted seats, toilet and shower facilities and enough electricity to power the Nespresso machine. The hope was to head over to Europe and Norway for some extended trips which have been put on temporary hold due to job changes.
