High specification and fully loaded for off grid exploring
Having recently semi retired, we finely managed to carry out a life long dream of converting a camper van, and loved every minute of the journey, this was no quick project and took over a year to build, and thereโs still a couple of bits that were finishing of now, when the conversion was about 95% complete, we decided to let the van out on quirky campers, only for 5 rents, it was more to see how our conversion preformed in real world situations, and as you can see from the reviews, we were very grateful and pleased with the comments that we received.
The van comes with a printed/digital user manual, all items are labelled for ease of use and is quirky approved and ready to rent if thatโs something your interested in doing.
Reviews:
1. Bumblebee is a tremendously well thought out van, and beautifully equipped – they really have thought of all the details, big and small. The bed is supremely comfortable and the van is ideal for off-grid experiences. Mark and Jocelyn are great hosts and clearly deeply committed to giving their customers the best possible experience.

2. We enjoyed our week in Bumblebee. A great conversion and has the off grid option, if you want to get away from it all. Comfy bed with a great fan to cool you on hot sultry evenings. Easy to drive and economical on fuel. Plenty of storage . Give it a go, you will be very pleased.

3. Bumblebee van was a fantastic choice! It has everything you need for a great trip. The bed was comfortable, the van had all the appliances you could need and a great shower. The solar powered battery was exactly what we needed while off grid for lights, cooking and charging phones and it was never close to running out of battery. Mark was very helpful before the trip in showing us how to use everything. The camper van itself was really good to drive. We cannot wait to hire this camper again and would most definitely recommend to others.

4. Would have given 6 stars if possible! Mark and Jocelyn are warm, friendly, helpful and provided many tips and recommendations even before our arrival. They were also pleasantly thorough, going through the operations of the van to ease us into it. The van is amazing and cosy to live-in, lovely and easy to drive. It is more than self-sufficient with ample solar panels, clean bath/toilet, effective diesel heating, and efficient induction cooking, such that we lived off-grid the entire period. There is very good insulation for temperature and sound, such that we slept well and sound each night. Mark has thought about every functional need you have and fitted it perfectly in the van, complete with a binder of instructions and pictures to help you. Jocelyn has also designed it so pretty that we even had a few people come up to give compliments on the aesthetics of the van! Go for this van, what are you waiting for?

5. Mark and Jocelyn were wonderful hosts and have built a beautiful campervan. We quickly settled into the roomy van, which got compliments all along our journey. The solar power works like a charm, and the little kitchen and bathroom have all you could need for simple living. Bumblebee was the perfect introduction to living in a van. We would wholeheartedly recommend this van for both short and longer trips.
