One adventure in Splinter and he’s guaranteed to remain under your skin. Bask in the ‘oooooo and aaaaaas’ from onlookers during the day but come nighttime, remain stealth thanks to Splinters’ exterior wood effect wrap. If you’ve ever dreamt of having your own cabin in the middle of a forest, this is your chance. Just prepare to pick your jaw up from the floor as you open the door and step inside. The warmth of the dark wooden interior instantly washes over you (like stepping off a plane abroad) and the natural light seeping through the many windows makes the whole space feel open and airy.

On a warm autumn morning, open up the rear doors and feel the sunshine flush over you. If it’s chilly or raining, there's plenty of space to snuggle on the sofas and play board games. Or why not light the woodburner and spend the day reading in bed - doesn’t that sound dreamy? After a long dog walk, find comfort in the whistle of the kettle and curl up with a steaming cuppa or hot chocolate before cooking a delicious meal on Splinters dual burners.

Just because you’re staying in the wilderness, doesn’t mean you can’t have home luxuries. Professionally crafted as a collaboration between Wild & Woody and Frenzy Designs, Splinter has everything needed to keep you comfortable on the road. There's solar power to keep your tech charged on the go and an impressive bathroom set up which includes a copper waterfall shower - what a beauty!

About the Campervan

Description of Beds: Splinter comfortably sleeps two people and a dog. With a full king size bed, which easily converts into a living room and dining area. you’ll find plenty of space to relax, dine, and cosy up beside the fire. Description of Seating: In the cab you’ll find a driver and passenger seat. Both are leather, belted, and fully adjustable with the ability to swivel so you can face the wood burner on a cold evening. About the area: Splinter lives camouflaged in a quiet village, in the countryside of Somerset. Parking: If you drive to collect Splinter, you are welcome to leave your vehicle parked in the village, whilst you’re away. If you come by train, Splinter’s owners will be able to pick you up from Bath or Bristol station at an extra cost. Cooking Equipment: Inside Splinter you’ll find a double burner gas hob, a microwave (for use with electric hook up only) and a wood-burner that has an oven attachment. Splinter has everything you could need to cook up a delicious meal, including dining-ware and cutlery for up to four people, so you can even invite your friends around for dinner! Electrical Setup: Splinter is powered by two 12v batteries. These are charged by discreet roof-top solar panels, and a battery connection that charges whilst you’re driving! Alternatively, Splinter is capable of electric-hook up at campsites or any area that you can connect to mains power. We’ve got 12v usb sockets, 12v cigarette lighter sockets, and 240v plugs (for use with electric hook-up only). Water Facilities: In the kitchen area you’ll find Splinter’s beautiful hammered copper sink with matching copper mixer tap that provides hot and cold water. The shower also has hot and cold water, with a waterfall shower head and a separate handheld shower head. Please note: the hot water is for use with electric hook-up only. Type of Heating: Splinter’s Cubic Mini Grizzly Wood Stove will keep you toasty warm even in the colder months, and provides a very relaxing setting. As an alternative, we can provide an electric heater for electric hook up only. Conversion Story: After we converted our VW T4 ‘Woody' into a camper, we were hooked! We looked into buying a bigger van and were inspired to use the Mercedes Sprinter van due to its ability to navigate the narrow lanes in the UK. Splinter was lovingly converted by Mr Val Bryant, at Frenzy Designs, and his daughter Sophie Bryant, at Wild and Woody. Both share the same passion for unique van builds that make people smile. Splinter is crafted using sustainable timber products. We aimed to recreate the rustic charm and cosy cabin like interior that we had already achieved in our previous van build. This time, with more space and features to ensure comfort on short or long adventures. We followed this theme to their exterior, where you will find a wood printed wrap that will help you go stealthy into the countryside.

The Splinter was amazing! Had so much fun travelling around Ireland. Very warm and comfortable, especially with the fire blazing away. Val was incredibly helpful, went over and beyond to support us in our travels.
