EX - Rosie

Description of Beds: Rosie easily sleeps up to 4 people with a double bed and two beautiful bunk beds that use waney-edged wood and branches as their construction; whether you’re waking up to birdsong or drifting off to sleep under the stars and moonlight you can see from the rear porthole windows, it might be a challenge to get out of these comfy beds! Description of Seating: Rosie has three belted seats in the cab and two rear facing seats in the van, both with 3 point seat belts. The two passenger seats in the front are suitable for child car seats. During the day, the comfy bench seats can easily host up to 8 people, so there’s lots of space for board games and family meals.

Audio Equipment: CD player/Radio Type of Heating: Woodburner Conversion Story: Rosie is a stunning van made to look like a woodland cabin. She is full of lovingly crafted natural materials and it is a beautiful conversion. The combination of the natural wood, detailed craftsmanship and great sense of space make it a fantastic van for families and couples to enjoy. Rosie was orginially a panel van, and undertook her conversion throughout 2017-18, working with a wonderful carpenter - Jesus Sierra. The van has lots of natural wood, the walls are lined in western redwood cedar and the conversion used some branches of London Plane that fell down in St George's Park in a gale for the supports of the bunk beds. Cedar is both lightweight and beautiful when oiled and so is perfect for vans. The converters wanted a van that would work for holidays with children, but that would also be a lovely, romantic and luxurious place to stay in. We had the opportunity to hire Rosie in Autumn 2019, we instantly fell in love with her and started dreaming of how we might be able to have a van like this somehow! We were then thrilled that we got the opportunity to purchase her having had such a wonderful trip with our family, and are now delighted to be hitting the road ourselves as well as renting her out. Rosie has charm in abundance; staying and travelling in this fairy-tale home on wheels is a truly amazing experience.
