FAQ
What's included?
Based on our own camping experience, in addition to all the permanent fixtures, our vans are equipped with everything we think you should need for your dream trip including:
- Fresh bedding / Memory foam topper
- Pots / Pans / Cooking utensils / Cutlery / Crockery / Mugs / Glasses
- Washing up equipment
- A whistle Kettle
- Tea / Coffee
- Aluminium foldaway table
- 2x folding camping chairs
There are also no mileage restrictions so go wherever the road takes you!
So what should I bring?
You should bring a USB cable for your phone (if you intend on staying connected). We would suggest going via the supermarket on route to your first stop to pick up the fry up gear (absolutely essential). If there are more than 2 people travelling, and you plan on using the pop roof to sleep, you should bring sleeping bags. Please notify us in advance of your booking so we can include an additional mattress topper.
How many people can sleep in the van?
All our campers have a bespoke 42" wide rock 'n' roll bed which can slide front or rear to suit your parked position and give you the best sleep possible. In addition, they are equipped with a pop roof and bed board. We would suggest that the pop roof is a good fit for 1 adult, and we would suggest that the van's are better suited to either 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children.
Can we wild camp or should we book onto camp sites?
All our vans are fitted with a leisure battery to support limited off grid camping, however in our experience, you can't beat having access to the amenities a good campsite will offer including shower / toilet facilities. We have a list of camp sites where we have had the pleasure of stopping over along the NC500 route and around the Lake District which we would be happy to recommend. Please check out www.visitscotland.com for further information on wild camping.
How much will it cost on fuel?
This entirely depends on your planned route. The NC500 is just over 500 miles, however this is based on starting in Inverness. In our opinion, starting your journey in Glasgow will open your eyes to a world of amazing scenery not encompassed by the traditional NC500 route including the Trossachs, Glen Coe, Skye etc... and depending on how much you want to squeeze in, could very well end up the NC1000!
Are your campers dog friendly?
Yes! Iris and Clover are Dog Friendly. Please contact us prior to booking to ensure your pet is suitable for the size of the camper. Our dog friendly campers are absolutely spotless, so even if you don't have pets, please don't hesitate to book Iris or Clover, if Daisy isn't available on your chosen dates
Is insurance covered?
Yes our vans come with fully comprehensive insurance and is available to anyone aged between 23 and 75. The insurance covers the vehicle only, and not your belongings.
Do I have to leave a deposit?
In addition to the cost of your rental which is paid in advance at the time of booking, we require a minimum £500 holding deposit on a credit or debit card in the name of the individual who will be driving the vehicle.
If you have any other enquiries feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to assist.
