get away.
get unplugged.
four boutique campervans, kitted out to live off-grid for days. solar on the roof, water in the tanks, a wood-warm bed at the end of every road. pick a van. pick a week. we'll send the keys.
what off-grid means
self-contained for days. nowhere to be.
every van leaves our garage with a full tank of fuel, a full tank of water, and enough power to last a long weekend without seeing a hookup. drive somewhere quiet. stay there.
solar on the roof
320–400W of panels. enough to keep the lights on, the fridge cold, the kettle warm. no hookups, no campsites.
water in the tanks
80–120 litres of fresh, plus grey water. enough for three or four days of proper kitchen and showers without thinking about it.
a heater that just works
diesel-fired night heaters in every van. wales in november is no excuse not to come.
meet the fleet
four vans. four characters.
we keep the fleet small on purpose — every van gets looked after, named, and a personality of its own. pick the one that sounds like your week.
how it works
booked in five minutes. away by sundown.
01
pick your dates
the calendar shows what's free, in real time. pick a van, pick a week.
02
book in one go
no waiting for approvals. card details, confirmation, done in five minutes.
03
come and collect
come to the garage at 2pm. quick walk-through, keys, route suggestions, then off you go.
04
disappear
park up wherever feels right. solar handles the power, the heater handles the cold. you handle the rest.
what people say

we don't have a marketplace's review badge to hide behind. so here's what people who've actually been have actually said.
★★★★★
“we'd never been off-grid before and rich talked us through everything. graham handled the brecon beacons in november like a champ. we're already planning the next one.”

★★★★★
“the wet room was a game-changer. drove out to the gower, parked up next to the dunes, hot shower at sunset. what more do you want.”

the person behind the chassis
i'm myles. i look after the vans. and the people.
i started with one van in 2021 because the kind of trip i wanted — slow, quiet, no itinerary — didn't seem to exist anywhere you could just book. the fleet's grown to four since then, but the rule's stayed the same: every van's a build i'd take my own family in.
most of you i'll meet at the garage. i'll show you the heater, the solar, the kettle. then i'll get out of the way.

the journal · where to go
read the journal south wales, slowly.
routes, parking spots, pub recommendations, and the kind of local knowledge that makes a week feel like a fortnight.
wye valley
three nights along the river wye
a slow loop from tintern to symonds yat — old abbeys, big kingfishers, and the best pint in the wye valley.
brecon beacons
where to park up in the brecon beacons
gower
the gower in four nights
last bit
