Re-live the dream and hire a VW Camper van

An Eastbourne based company has just launched a new and innovative tourism service. Eastbourne Holiday Campers is owned by David Irvine and is hiring out iconic VW camper vans for those who wish to re-live the dreams of their youth or just have a great holiday with a difference. The camper vans are brand new and manufactured by Volkswagen in Brazil so provide complete reliability (as well as power steering). The first van available to hire has been named Dolly and she is a real stunner.

David says “We started by offering holiday cottages in Eastbourne (www.eastbourneholidaycottages.co.uk) and this has proved very popular so in addition this year we decided to diversify and become more mobile. Many of our guests are looking for a two week holiday so we thought we could offer Eastbourne as a base and let them take off for a week in a camper van followed by a week in one of our cottages. From our research many people just love the idea of holidaying in a retro VW camper van but would not wish to buy one. This way we take care of all the administration and insurance and our guests turn up and set off (after a few necessary bits of paperwork).

Whether you want a beach holiday or to explore the countryside, camper vans allow you the freedom of choice and create the ultimate room with a view. Our VW camper vans are brand new and therefore offer the most reliable option for a VW camper holiday. VW camper vans offer a unique experience and whether you are 25 or 75 you will love the freedom, well-being and sense of fun these iconic campers offer ”

The camper vans have a modern, powerful, water cooled VW engine with catalytic converter, servo assisted brakes, rack and pinion and power assisted steering (only available on 2010 models). They can accommodate four passengers with a double bed plus a roof bed (ideal for children). The outside stand alone awning can also be used for sleeping. Inside there is a fridge freezer, two burner hob, gas oven and sink with water pump. All crockery, cutlery, pots and pans have been selected to compliment the retro feel and provide you with everything you may need for your culinary delights. VW golf style reclining front seats, CD, radio, ipod docking station and four speakers add to your entertainment. Independent heating system, storage cupboards, and mains hook up cable for use at camp sites complete the home from home feeling.

David says “As busy people ourselves we realise how important a holiday is. Time is a very precious commodity and not something we can buy on line or pick up at our nearest supermarket. Holidays are something special, something people have worked hard for, something to cherish, something to look forward to. Therefore we can appreciate the need to get on and enjoy them, not to be bogged down in complicated paperwork or waiting for someone to return calls.
We aim to abolish frustration and provide an excellent customer service from the moment an enquiry hits our in-box or the phone rings. We know how important a quick response is and an answer to questions - so you can get on and plan. Once our guests drive off in Dolly we are confident they will have a stressfree, relaxing and fun holiday.”

At Eastbourne Holiday Camper Vans we have based our philosophy on our established holiday cottage businesswww.eastbourneholidaycottages.co.uk.

As busy people ourselves we realise how important a holiday is. Time is a very precious commodity and not something we can buy on line or pick up at your nearest supermarket. Your holiday is something special, something you have worked hard for, something to cherish, something to look forward to. Therefore we can appreciate you need to get on and enjoy, not be bogged down in complicated paperwork or wait for someone to return your calls.

We aim to abolish frustration and provide you with excellent customer service from the moment your enquiry hits our in box or you reach us by phone. We know how important a quick response is and an answer to your questions - so you can get on and plan.

Whether you are busy 30/40 year old somethings, juggling the school run, after school clubs, ballet lessons, shopping and hoping for a quick fix the Camper van experience can be your haven (with or without the kids!). Ditch the daily grind and hit the open road, abandon the regime, you no longer have to be prisoner to your wrist watch. Go with the flow, pull over for coffee in a little county pub, so what if it’s 3 o’clock in the afternoon and traditionally time for a cup of tea. Or why not have a simple supper by the campfire and watch the sunset - a distant memory from your youth.

For the baby boomers, the young 60 year olds take a step back in time and relive your youth to revisit those locations of memories. Only this time the VW camper vans have power steering, and the dodgy looking curtains have been replaced by lovely retro designs and stylish melamine. Reliability screams with a capital R as the new 2010 VW campervans are built for the 21st century.

As time is precious we have listed out some, links and campsites you may like to take advantage of. Not to regiment your holiday, oh gosh no, but just to help ease the path and remove any anxiety - and a little bit of a plan, albeit very loose is always quite useful.

The camper vans are well equipped with oven, hob, fridge freezer and all bedding and towels. We also include the awning and bike rack in the price. We have done our research, and some sites may in the first instance appear to be cheaper, but not everything is included. We have studied and hit the calculator keys and watch the total increase. With Eastbourne holiday camper vans what you see is what you get. We want to make this an easy experience so have adopted for an all inclusive price. This approach has been used in our business model for Eastbourne holiday cottages and our customers appreciate the ease and transparency when making a booking.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information.
