Frida the Hideout van is divided into two key areas, the ‘nest’ to the rear, and the kitchen living area to the front. The ‘nest’ area is defined by a striking geometric partition wall, which leads to a bespoke curved Birch plywood ceiling over the double bed to create a warm and comfortable place to sleep. In the kitchen / living area, it’s the striking linear plywood ceiling that enlarges the space and is a real show stopper. 100% Lambs Wool Harris Tweed fabric adds a luxurious touch to your Four person seating area, with a removable table suitable for working remotely from. A third bed is also situated in the seating area to give you extra sleeping capacity for a child or small adult tagging along.

The space:

The bright spacious interior is filled with natural light through our extra large (fully openable) skylights, allowing the sun to show off the unique grain pattern across your rolling homes plywood finish. Through our pull out Alfresco dining table we connect you and your van with the outside. And if it’s wet … the indoor dining space is fully central heated by the press of a button! A full set of bespoke insulated window pads, ensures that winter trips are now a new cosy experience.

Storage:

Grab the keys and go, we’ve sorted the rest. Storage aplenty we’ve kitted out Frida so you can hit that half day Friday with a spring in your step. An organised set of storage solutions keep your van essentials stowed away neatly, so there’s less time faffing and more time doing the stuff you enjoy. Above the seating area you’ll find a deep overhead open-shelves to store all your bits and bobs secured by stylish bungees. Hidden LED lit magazine rack behind the seat back keeps your favourite reads within easy reach, and an integrated shoe alcove by the door keeps shoes right to hand. In addition our neat little ply bungee frames are also ace for stuffing away jackets, magazines or if you’re like us, your eclectic range of beanie hats.

Kitchen:

The Kitchen space is certainly one for the cooks, with a built-in oven and grill along with plenty of countertop space available for getting creative with your dishes – Van Scran just got an upgrade. A nifty two piece sink lid also boosts countertop space even further. Storage drawers aplenty, soft close as standard ensures everything from pots and pans, to glasses and bowls can be accommodated in perfect order. A well sized compressor fridge offers lots of room for fresh food, beers or even a bottle of wine in the door. A 5L freezer compartment also ensures the sorbet is as ice cool as you are.

Powerful Drive:

Built on the reliable Peugeot Boxer platform, this camper is a joy to drive. Being a medium sized, yet very spacious camper, there are no issues getting into tight spots or weaving down narrow lanes, this a camper for the spontaneous adventurer. A towing capacity of 2.5T allows trailers such as the Ifor Williams HBE Horse Box to be towed, allowing you to bring larger four legged friends with you on your adventures. (Towbar can be installed at extra cost)

Shower / Drying Room

This shower room offers a multifunctional space for much more that the name would suggest. As a fully dedicated space this houses the mixer shower and toilet (removable). However this space also doubles up as a dedicated drying room, thanks to a heater outlet and a openable skylight in the roof, ensuring your kit is as warm and dry as you are for tomorrow’s adventure. Design materials include a stunning high quality Stainless Steel shower tray – no flimsy plastic trays here! A Bamboo duckboard is also provided for additional grip.

External Features / Garage:

From the rear of the vehicle you also have a handy outdoor hot and cold hose / shower, ideal for four legged friends, muddy boots or even yourself (but please keep your modesty!). It’s easily one of the most useful features packed into this camper!

Also located in the garage area and you’ll find the fully loaded off-grid electrics system. You’re never left short of power with three charging sources; the roof Solar Panels, a Split Charge Relay or a 240V Plug for when hooked up at the campsite. An inverter supplies power for those laptop movie nights. The garage area, designed for all sorts of kit such as inflatable paddle boards, kayaks and much more. This is a storage space ready to facilitate all adventures, so there’s less time packing the tetris way and more time outside doing the things you enjoy.

Get out and explore the Hideout way.

Forget your artificial plastic wood effects, our spaces are 100% real, for real adventures. Think fresh, bright and contemporary, this is a space designed for everyday living, relaxing and exploring.

Our approach of craft and detail underpins everything we do, and the quality of our finished product makes all the hours of sanding, refining and problem solving worth it. We thrive off the design challenge of working with van interiors, it’s what keeps us living and breathing.
