If you’re looking for an eclectic, whimsical, yet super practical family camper van, then Blubelle is your girl! Created from the minds of her circus performer owners, Blubelle is a high spec campervan for hire in Bristol, who can sleep up to 5 people in her double bed, bunk beds and cab bed space. This super functional camper is a comfortable and tranquil space which enables you to indulge in complete off-grid solitude, or invite friends over for dinner in the large seven person capacity social seating.

Whether you decide to host a dinner party for seven, connect over a romantic dinner for two or enjoy the peace and quiet of dining solo, Blubelle’s kitchen is on hand to make it possible. There’s a three-burner hob, sink, fridge and an abundance of worktop space.

Ready to head off-grid? Blubelle has everything you need to stay comfortable wherever the road takes you. She has an outdoor shower so you can freshen up in style after climbing a mountain and solar power to keep you charged on the go. Her woodburner means you can live the Instagram dream, snuggled up with a hot cup of cocoa gazing out the windows at a secluded view you’ve found just for yourself.

Much of the inspiration for this iconic conversion came from the vehicles they saw at Burning Man festival where originality and creativity abound. Their conversion team was made up of many highly skilled circus folk from jugglers to street performers to a sculptural metal worker who created the woodburner from scrap metal! Blubelle's roots are buried deeply in performing arts and Circus, with a dream of living off grid in beautiful locations. So, here's Blu an art car that can go and find peace and tranquillity or community and entertainment to wash off everyday life and breath for a moment with family, friends or blissful solitude.

Dave and Helen have thought of everything with Floyd;, the design, comfort and off grid capacity were superb. The handover was thorough so we knew everything we needed to know to start our journey. We toured from the East Midlands to Inverness where we travelled the NC500, and back to the East Midlands, and never had to worry about hook up, water etc, we were fully self sufficient. What an epic adventure we had and Floyd never missed a beat. You will not be disappointed with Floyd, and his owners x
