A short walk around video of our latest build, a 23' Showmans Caravan.
We built this with the holiday rental market in mind, so it has sleeping for 4 in a seperate bedroom to the rear, a proper bathroom, a kitchen area (with hot & cold water, sink, fridge / freezer and grill / hotplate), and lots of other great features.
The whole van is insulated, with 3" of either rockwool or solid insulation in the walls, floor and ceiling, and the bedroom and part of the living space is double glazed - once the 6kw Godin multi-fuel stove is lit, it gets very cozy indeed!
Other features include heavy exposed beams, carved corbels, a barn door, a built in dresser, Tiffany lamps shades, and a delightful balcony to the front. At 4' x 8' approx, there is ample space here for a couple fo small chairs, so you can really make use of the long summer nights.
The van was hand painted by Stephen Route, a professional artist whom we have worked with on several occassions, and the roof is of galvanised corugated sheet, protected further by a coat of red oxide primer, then black gloss.
The interior we have left in the raw, so the customer has the choice whether to was it, stain it, or paint it. Personally I would leave it to mellow for a couple fo years then varnish it, but the choice is yours.
I am also willing to make small changes to this van if it doesnt exactly match your needs, or I can build a van to your own specification and / or budget.
As 'glamping' (glamorous camping) becomes ever more popular, summer rental prices are now in the region of £500 - £600 per week, so this Showmans Wagon could realistically pay for itself in 47 weeks, or 2 - 3 seasons.
This very van is currently for sale, at a price of £23,500 ono.
