Oh my Lola, La-la-la-la Lola! Lola is the perfect campervan to accompany you on your romantic break for two. Expertly crafted by Onwards Adventure Vehicles, this 2 berth campervan is not only easy on the eye, it’s practical too - with endless thoughtful touches including a bookshelf, sink/lid chopping board and let’s not forget the bespoke porthole.

Lola lives in a city but is keen to get out and about to the greener spaces and is a perfect base to do so! Off-grid adventures await, as Lola has everything you need to get back to nature including solar power and a heater. Take a look at the extras on offer too, such as a paddle-board! After your time exploring, transform Lola into a French bistro for two with Lola’s 2 ring gas hob, dining table and fridge to keep your bubbly chilled. Or, exhausted after a day exploring the local sights?...just pick up a bag of your favourite fish and chips, fling open the back doors and let the sea air seep through.

The space is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted, and the pop-top creates a spacious feel for chilling out as well as providing light and views out. Whether you’re looking to head to the mountains, lakes, rivers, or to the sea (possibly using our paddle-board and kayak add-ons), or to go 'village-hopping' closer to home, Lola is the ideal base for you!

About the Campervan

About the area: Lola lives in Harringay, a vibrant part of London and is parked on a quiet residential street that's easily accessible by public transport. Description of Beds: The bed is a full sized double bed, with the full 190cm length. Super cosy, with practical shelving LED lighting, and comfortable foam beneath you. Description of Seating: Three belted seats in the front (including driver) with head rests. The 3 seats have all fitted with three point belts. 2 out of the 3 passengers seats are suitable for a child car seat using the belt. Description of Electrical Setup: The electrics are state of the art, and run from a leisure battery, charged when moving, and from the solar panel on the roof. USB points and plug sockets mean you can power your gadgets easily. Even without electric hookup you can be off-grid for days. Parking: If you drive to collect Lola, you are welcome to leave your car in her normal spot. We can provide you with the necessary parking vouchers at request for a daily fee. If you arrive by train, Lola is near Hornsey, and Turnpike Lane (10, and 7 mins walk away respectively). Cooking Equipment: There are two full size gas hobs inside the vehicle. Lola has everything you could need to cook up a feast, including: 2 traditional enamel mugs | 4 cups | 4 plates | 4 bowls | cutlery for 4 | 3 chopping board | kettle | mixing bowl | large frying pan | large and small saucepan | 4 place matts and 4 coasters | 1 sharp chef knife | 1 smaller sharp knife | 1 bread knife | Utensils galore with: 1 large silicone spatula | 1 small silicone spatula | peeler | cheese grater | bottle stopper | can opener | corkscrew/bottle opener | scissors | lighters and matches. Lola also comes with a cafetière for those early morning coffees | collapsible colander | collapsible tupperware | collapsible bucket and brush. Water and Sanitation: There is a 20 litre removable fresh water tank that supplies water to the sink via amn automatic pump. Lola is also fitted with a 20 litre grey water tank for convenience. Audio Equipment: Lola has built in speakers in the front, with USB and AUX plug-in as well as bluetooth are all available so you can play your own music. There's also a CD player if you fancy putting that old collection to good use. A portable bluetooth wireless speaker can be supplied on request for music in the rear. Type of Heating: Very efficient Diesel Heater on top of excellent recycled eco insulation - no cold nights in Lola...Fact! Pet Information: Small dogs allowed only - sorry but no cats. Conversion Story: Lola began life as a humble panel van. Exceptionally well maintained, she fitted the conversion criteria perfectly and in early 2021 she was handed over to the extremely capable and talented craftsmen at Onwards Adventures. Any lustful van-lifer may be familiar with their enviable life journey...head and shoulders above the rest in terms of design and finish, with their eco and sustainable approach to conversion. You’ll notice from Lola’s clean birch design that she stands out from the norm in terms of camper conversions. With a cosy and minimalist layout, everything is bespoke (from the port hole to the sink lid/chopping board), carefully thought out and there for a specific purpose. Not an inch of space wasted or unnecessary gram fitted. Maximising space and comfort was key to the creation of this conversion. Lola is fitted with with Onwards Pioneer design, maximising social space and functionality in the back. The furniture has three set layouts: the first enables a single long bench down one side, allowing for maximum load space in the rear. The second pulls the bench out into an L shape with table in the middle, turning the living area into a much more social dining or living space. Then finally, with a full (length and width) double bed, essential for a perfect nights sleep. Lola is discreet and drives like a Golf. Perfect for flying under the radar, yet still equipped with everything needed to stay off grid for substancial periods of time (with the heater, solar, LPG tank and fridge). Extra Information: If getting to the part of London where Lola is located is an issue, please enquire stating your needs and the owner will try to help.

We had an excellent week in Lola despite some terrible weather. The diesel heater warmed up the van in mins and the whole layout is cosy and comfortable. Mark was very helpful and accomodating and we'll almost certainly try to take Lola out again next year!
