Our story…..
When people ask how we started our motorhome hire business…
It always makes me smile. Because it didn’t begin with a business plan. It began with an obsession.
My husband has always loved VW campervans.
Not just liked them… obsessed over them.
So one day, he traded in his car and bought one.
I thought, “Fine… let him have his toy.”
Then COVID hit.
And that “toy” became our escape.
Even if escape sometimes meant sitting on the driveway with a couple of drinks, on Zoom with friends, pretending we were somewhere far more exotic.
It gave us freedom at a time when the world felt very small.
When restrictions eased, we packed up our three children and headed to the New Forest.
And honestly? It was incredible.
• Slow mornings
• Forest walks
• No airport chaos
• Just simple family time
But somewhere between making beds and organising five people in a very compact space… I realised: It wasn’t big enough.
Eventually, I said the words no campervan lover wants to hear:
“I think you need to sell it.”
The look on his face? Utter heartbreak.
A few hours later he said,
“Maybe we rent it out?”
So we did.
No five-year forecast. No clue what we were doing.
Just a Facebook advert… and a LOT of messages.
We sorted the right hire insurance.
We figured it out as we went.
And just like that — the business began.
When we saw how popular it was, we reinvested and bought a motorhome.
But this time, we knew exactly what families needed — because we were one.
That’s how our motorhome hire journey started.
Not from spreadsheets. Not from investors. But from lived experience.
Sometimes businesses aren’t built in boardrooms.
Sometimes they start with a driveway, a dream…
