Rolo – T5 VW (2010), Black High Top (LWB)

Rolo is where it all started – he was our very first campervan to join the family! He was refurbished during Covid shutdown and boy has he got style!
Rolo will forever be our family favourite! His name is on his number plate, and sharing Rolo reminded us of a childhood advert – ‘Do you love anyone enough?…’ Sharing Rolo is our absolute pleasure!

Rolo has explored far and wide, taking happy travellers as far away as France, Italy, and Ireland (although at the moment he prefers to only be driven in the UK). Some local favourites for Rolo have been the North Coast 500 and the Lake District (just wow).

North Coast 500: Rolo has strutted his stuff 7 times on tour in Scotland; for hikers and deep water scuba divers all ages and agendas! He’s been hired by dreamers, mountain climbers and landscape artists for travel or as the perfect Honeymoon choice!

WAW: Ireland boasts the Wild Atlantic Way – Cross at Hollyhead, see the crystal at Waterfood, chime the bells (playing SHREK!) in Cork, then journey on to Kilarney and stop in Tralee –make sure you get lost in the ‘Ring of Kerry’ … Ireland certainly holds a very special place in our hearts – and it is a long way to Tipperary!

Italy: (No longer offer European hire) Rolo has travelled many countries in Europe but Italy 2018 was something else! Piza poses, ice cream sat by the Trevi Fountains in Rome and pizza and wine after our visit to the awe inspiring Colosseum … we parked up just outside Venice – experienced the Gondolas and took in the spectacular sites. Our return journey was spent on the shores of Lake Garda, we travelled through the French Alps finished sight seeing in Northern France: Omaha Beach and the various memorial site certainly remind you of the gift of life. (Please note: CampRolo does not currently offer EU travel).

Mum and Daughter Time: Rolo enjoys a stretch to Anglesey North Wales, Mum gets to see her sister and I get to see west coast sunsets and vast sandy beaches. North Stack resonates with me… so too do the rock pooled shores. Snowdonia is an absolute must – go to ZIP WORLD and experience Europe’s longest and fastest zip wire (120 mph) – if you are lucky you will locate Wales’ EPIC sign for a mirrored selfie or two!

Crazy Fun: Can you camp in London – yes you can! My friend and I experienced The Chinese New Year in Style!

Momentous Moment: I completed Brighton Marathon 2016 for ‘Get Kidz Active’ Rolo was there to ease my nerves, provide comfort and family support during the weekend – what an amazing experience.

Family Fun: The Lake District is my favourite place…. No comparison. Rolo is reliable, powerful and negotiates gradients I didn’t think were possible… Wrynose Pass – no problem. The Peaks, Breacon Beacons, New Forest, Dorset, Dartmore, Exmore, Bath, Cheddar Gorge and Yorkshire, The Wash and North Norfolk- he just keeps adding to his portfolio of lived experiences…. and that’s just with us!

… and his story goes on.
