When you get your Vanderlust campervan you'll find a gas stove, fridge and sink, 4 berth LWB campervans include a shower and toilet which on LWB models is internal. We supply kitchen equipment including crockery, cutlery, frying pan, sauce pans. All you need to bring are your board shorts, selk bag or onesie, favourite duvet, pillow and your sense of adventure.

We suggest that you pack your belongings into soft bags instead of suitcases as they take up less room and can easily fit into the storage compartments below and above the beds.

How long does the battery system last?
Vanderlust campervans have two batteries - one to run the engine and the other to operate the living equipment such as the fridge and lights. This battery will remain charged for approximately 10 hours. If you flatten it you can start the engine to recharge.
