Meet Vera


Meet our Vera, our home from home...aint she a beaut! As the saying goes "home is where you park it" and she sure gets parked all over!

Having become part of the family in 2011 Vera was purchased in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Christian just couldn't resist the pull of an old German lady ;) Since, come rain or shine, Vera has taken us up and down the country - we actually love her!

This trusty VW T4 Campervan has also traveled most of Europe - as far as Croatia (but that's another story) and will, yet again, be taking us on this year's adventure.

Shexy eh!

Christian: Just to add she is 1998 Volkswagen Transporter LWB design with a 2.4 diesel engine which loves to run on vegetable oil and help keep those emissions down! She has a rock n roll bed, cupboards, wardrobe, sink and cooker along with the luxurious portable flushing cassette toilet! Shes no major speed demon but is surprisingly easy to drive and maneuver at sensible sight seeing speeds.
She's under gone/going some cosmetic upgrades for this years trip!

  • Big Crew cab / Razor back mirrors - essential for RHD driving!
  • Smev 9222L - Sink, Tap,Water Tank+ Pump, 2 ring gas stove
  • O/S Drivers Side Rear Sliding Window - Get some air in for the hot hot nights,, currently its a panel.
  • Big BFG AT tyres, I want to get on them beaches!
  • Ditched them RS8 Audi style lights, I want to see at night, for the mad night time driving-dash on the way down
  • Added ProjecktZwo Euro twin headlights - sexy
  • Black Bumpers - Colour coding is sooo last season?! - In progress,, I don't plan on bumping them, but they will match the bull bars that are to be fitted
  • 2.5TDI Turbo upgrade - Better cruising speed and hopefully MPG - check the fuels logs.
  • Pre-Trip Service - She needs Oil+Filter, Drive Belt+Tensioner, Fuel Filter, check other fluids
