Fiat Ducato
The time has come to say a bittersweet goodbye to Cherry, our beloved handcrafted campervan. We’ve owned her for a few years, taking her from the peaks of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) to the streets of the Edinburgh Festival and down to the beaches of Cornwall.
She is the perfect “Goldilocks” van: discreet and easy to park (even in town), but tall enough for a family of four to live comfortably. We are only selling because our boys have officially outgrown us—they’re now taller than we are!
If you’re looking for a van that is off-grid ready and built with love, Cherry is ready for her next family.

Gas System: Features a dedicated LPG locker in the rear garage and an external gas connection specifically for your Cadac or BBQ—no more lugging extra bottles around!
📦 Storage (The “Garage”)
Huge Rear Garage: Located under the bottom bunk, there is a massive storage area for outdoor gear, chairs, and levelling ramps.
Internal Storage: Extra storage boxes above the bulkhead, cupboards above the seating/kitchen areas, and hidden storage underneath all passenger seats.
The van features a rear-fixed bunk bed system, which is the gold standard for families who want to “park and sleep” without the hassle of converting seats.
Capacity: 4 Berths (4 Adult-sized beds)
Configuration: Two stacked double beds arranged width-ways across the back of the van.
Dimensions: * Length: Approximately 1.90m – 1.95m (The Fiat Ducato is the widest van in its class, allowing most adults to sleep sideways comfortably).
Width: These are Double Bunks, typically measuring between 1.30m and 1.40m wide.
Suitability: * Bottom Bunk: Perfect for the “taller than parents” boys. It’s easy to hop into and usually has a bit more headroom.
