Meet Orla the Campervan – a beautifully converted luxury VW Crafter, ready to take you on your next adventure. Based in the Manchester area, Orla combines style, comfort, and practicality, making her the perfect companion for weekends away, family trips, or exploring the open road in complete freedom.
I was lucky enough to win Orla, and from the very first drive I knew she was too special to keep to myself. That’s why I decided to share the joy of campervanning – so others can experience the same sense of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories that she brings.
Whether you’re planning a coastal escape, a countryside retreat, or a festival weekend, Orla is fully equipped to make your journey as enjoyable as your destination.
DOGS
As dog owners ourselves we would like to be able to offer this as a dog friendly camper. However we have limited this to one small dog nothing larger than a westie size. If bringing a dog you will have to provide your own duvet - duvet covers and pillows - pillow cases and also your own covers for the seating to ensure Gino remains in clean condition etc for other users. We would politely ask you to adhere to the following:-
* Under no circumstances must dogs left unattended in the camper
* No muddy / wet dogs are to be brought into the camper they must be clean and dry
* No dogs on the bed
Due to Orla's size and weight, a C1 driving licence entitlement is required to drive her. Please ensure all named drivers meet this requirement before booking.
The main bed measures 1150 x 1820mm
Taller guests may find the fixed bed a little restrictive. If you are over 5ft 9in and have any concerns, please get in touch before booking and you're welcome to come and view Orla in person. The pop top bed is 1170x1900.
