Toffee

About the area: Toffee sticks safely in our Prop and Set Building workshop just near Musselburgh. From here, it’s a straight drive to East Lothian to hang out for a day on kite surfer beaches like Longniddry and Dunbar, and then on to the north of England: Lindisfarne and Alnwick. Why travel for days when you can be there in hours? Description of Beds: Toffee has four belted seats. This is super luxury for 2. However, we took our grandkids, aged 9 and 11, on a road trip to test her out, and they slept under the bed on a camping mattress. They nicknamed it the foxes' den. Bigger kids or adults could sleep in a tent. The double bed is 190cm long and 130cm wide. The under-bed space is 80cm by 190cm. The double bed is safe for up to 180kg. Description of Seating: Toffee has four 3-point belted seats with headrests - “2 in the front, 2 in the back in the back... don’t look back”. With the bed in the up position, there is plenty of space to walk around, and 4 will be comfortable cooking, reading, and hanging out.

Toffee is speed-limited to 70mph, so skip the motorways and embrace the scenic route. Take it slow, soak in the views, and let Toffee make your journey as enjoyable as the destination. Conversion Story: We are puppeteers and theatre-makers. If you Google “10m tall Giant puppet Storm,” you’ll find one of our most ambitious projects. Last year, we took our show, The Fantastic Life of Minnie Rubinski, to Oslo, Norway. To make it happen, we bought a low-mileage LWB high-roof van. After the trip, we thought—why sell this beauty? Let’s transform her into our dream campervan. Toffee’s build reflects our theatre roots, featuring recycled materials like cute sporrans for clothes storage, timber offcuts, and fabric scraps. She’s filled with light,, cool colours, and soft lights. Nothing typical here—just creativity and character. it took 6 months of hard work to get Toffee ready. She’s unique, she’s special, everybody has loved driving and staying her . Let her be your home-from-home as you explore Scotland. Park up, wander into the hills, then return to a hot cup of tea and a great night’s sleep.
