Art is a quirky campervan conversion with an eclectic, vintage design vibe for hire in Southampton. His owners have hand crafted this bespoke camper into an off-grid, 4-season home on wheels. With ample solar power, you can stay off grid without worrying about charging or plugging in.

This van was designed with the outdoors in mind, with heaps of storage for your climbing ropes, wetsuits, crampons or dive-gear. Your furry friends won't need to be left behind, as there's even plenty of comfortable space for them! Art is the perfect retreat after a hard day in the mountains or on the beach. Close the doors and enjoy the cosy interior, turn on the heater and curl up on the sofa with a good book and a cuppa before cooking your favourite post-hike feast in the well-equipped kitchen.

All that's left for you to do is to pack your kit, pick a mountain, let Art take you there in comfort and style, and then look after you when you're down!

About the Campervan

Description of Beds: Art is a 3-berth campervan – he comfortably sleeps two people in a semi-fixed rear double bed; the bench seating also pulls out to make an extra bed, suitable for a child or small adult. Description of Seating: Three belted seats in the front (including driver) with head rests. About the area: Art has now moved to Southampton, perfect for picking up on your way to the ferry over to the Isle of Wight, or to head Southwest for a surf in Cornwall or some rock climbing on the Jurassic Coast. Pickup from the train station or airport can usually be arranged with the owners. Parking: If you drive to collect Art, you are welcome to leave your car in his normal spot, an off-road driveway. Cooking Equipment: Art has a fully-equipped kitchen that can manage anything that you'd normally cook up at home. There are two gas hobs, an oven, a grill, a fridge/freezer that runs off the solar, as well as ample space for storing food. You'll find Art stocked with basics like spices, seasonings, oil, tea and coffee as well as 3 plates | mugs | bowls | glasses | sets of cutlery | knives | chopping boards | cooking utensils | frying pan | large and small saucepans | sieve | oven trays | kettle | percolator for coffee | coffee grinder | stick-blender. Water Facilities: There are two 20-litre water containers which can easily be removed to refill. The grey water tank is also 20-litres and is similarly removable to empty and rinse. Audio Equipment: Art has a radio/CD player in the cab. Type of Heating: An LPG Propex heater with thermostat will keep you toasty warm all seasons round! Conversion Story: Art’s owners bought him in June 2019. They started the conversion in Aberdeen, carried it on during 7 weeks in Ireland before heading off on a European adventure spending time in Spain, Portugal, locked down in Greece, and journeying up through the Balkans spending their time climbing rocks and climbing mountains. They returned with three dogs, so can vouch for the storage excess also being invaluable for giving even bigger pets plenty of space!

We had the best time in Montie. Duke's quite a big dog so it was nice for him to have enough space to move around and a dedicated "bed" space that he could go hide away in. Harriet and Josh had thought of everything, there was a space for everything and they provided everything we needed. It was quite cold on the night we stayed out, but the heater and hot water made a massive difference! It was almost too hot in there after a while! Thanks both, had a great time.
