Walter

Description of Beds: Standard double (135cm x 190cm) plus 2 sleep pods each 70cm wide and 170cm and 190cm long. All are fixed permanently and have real mattresses for a comfortable night's sleep. While the kid's bunks are large enough for a small adult, there is a 7 stone weight limit on them. Description of Seating: There are two swivel seats in the front of the cab. Behind them is a removable table and another 2 seats for the kids. The table makes journeys a breeze as kids are kept busy reading, colouring or playing cards. The seat belts are all 3 point and as the table is removable, is suitable for child car seats. One of the seats has Isofix for attaching a car seat.

They created the dream family-friendly campervan for holidays, short breaks and day trips. A talented carpenter completed the conversion over the winter of 2018. After months of researching the best family vans we found Walter being featured on social media. We used his charms as a source of inspiration and were about to commission our own van when he came up for sale. It was meant to be! We are now the lucky owners of Walter and feel extremely proud to have such a unique van as part of our family. The layout is so clever and the kids love their sleeping pods. It's great having all the sleeping areas set up with 'real mattresses' without the need to make up beds from seating. After a long day adventuring or festival going we can just roll or climb into bed. With solar panels and heating Walter is ready to take you anywhere at any time of year.
