the nimble one.
compact and quick on her feet — slips down lanes the bigger vans can't follow. roof tent pops up top for a second bedroom; the rear bench folds flat for two below. slide-out modular kitchen at the back means you cook with the view, not in spite of it.
every van comes to us as an empty panel van and we spend the winter making it slightly nicer. the latest rounds add stargazer roof windows and proper flat-pack tables — the small things that make 6am coffee feel like a moment.
