Conversion Description

Frida the Campervan:
Lovingly designed, handcrafted and built by craftspeople and us along the way, this campervan has been our home — a cosy and reliable companion through years of travel and discovery. Built with care, skill, and an eye for natural, reclaimed materials, it combines practicality with comfort and style. Designed for one or two people, it offers simplicity and the freedom to roam year-round across the UK and Europe. The open layout creates a bright, spacious feel with plenty of connection to the outdoors, perfect for those who value quality, nature, and a sense of home wherever the road leads.

In-person viewing welcome
