## Description

So who wants to cook a three course meal when you're out in your van? Not me was my thought process when specifying the build on my 2022 Vantage Ora! As a novice to the van life culture what I wanted was ease of use and all the mod cons so that it's as easy as possible to not look like an idiot (especially as a solo female traveller)! So this van has it all (including a couple of scratches - mea culpa)! I've been all over the North and Scotland on various road trips and Garuda has never let me down. I did however take great heart and inspiration from being told that wherever an Amazon van can go so can I (hence the scratches). The van is fully kitted out with bedding, towels, remis blinds, even a silver screen and full off grid kit and water storage and waste if you want them depending on what you plan to do. It has an underslung LPG tank so no bottles to change, Truma heating and hot water that can run off gas and EHU so you'll never be cold or without hot water. Reversing camera, indoor and outdoor shower (for the dog I'm thinking but have never used on either of us) and D Rings for securing fur babies when wanting to keep them safe. Being a front lounge build it's a little bit different to most other vans so doesn't feel so claustrophobic when driving or sitting and with the lack of oven there's so much less rattling going on. It has an inverter so you can run appliances off the socket when off grid as well as watch the Smart TV with Fire Stick (soundbar for radio/tv). There is a microwave for when on EHU and 3 burner hob. Comes with everything you need to pootle around just you and your significant other (be they furry or not)!

### Additional Rules

Please leave approx. 60 minutes for handover and paperwork.

Happy to collect you from Harrogate Train Station if that is helpful.

Van will be provided freshly washed  please return it in the same condition or a £15 car wash fee will be deducted from your deposit.

The van will have a full diesel and LPG tank, please return it in the same condition or a £25 fee + costs will be taken from your deposit

All kitchen and bathroom wear will be clean and dry please return it in the same condition. Please do not put food waste down the sink drain as this causes smells in the van, please use the kitchen towel and rubbish bags to remove food waste before washing dishes.

Bedding, towels and tea towels will be provided freshly laundered. Please put towels and tea towels in the wardrobe at the end of your trip.

Basic kitchen items and consumables will be provided, the van has a large fridge/freezer and lots of storage so if you wish you can have a food shop delivered and I can stock the van up for you in advance of your arrival.

Motorhome wifi is fitted in the van so you can pay to top up or simply hotspot to your phone.

I will provide a series of videos provided to be when the van was handed over from the manufacturer, along with instruction manuals and user guides for the onboard equipment.

The van comes with a first aid kit, tool kit, levelling chocks, EHU, adapters, mini hose, watering can, etc.

The van comes with Outsmart the Thief security system including perimeter alarm for a stress free nights sleep.

Whilst the van has a solar panel and LION battery I don't recommend static off grid use for more than a couple of days as in my experience guests tend to expect too much from the battery and have on a number of occasions forced it to cut out. The off grid kit is brilliant for lay overs when you're on a road trip and driving between places every day or so.

The front lounge can be configured as two single beds or a king sized depending on what you prefer.

### Louise - 5.0/5
*October 2025*

My daughter and I hired Garuda for a 6 night adventure around Cornwall with Misty my Grandpup. The van is very easy to drive and extremely economical on fuel.  We stayed off grid the whole time and with the journeys each day and the solar panel the battery stayed above 85% the whole time. 

Kathy is simply wonderful with all the help she provides and such a welcoming face and attitude.  Nothing was too much trouble.   She was on hand all the time even &#39;out of hours&#39; when we had an issue.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Campervan Experience!
We had an amazing time hiring this campervan – it had absolutely everything we needed for our trip away. The van was super comfortable, well-equipped, and perfect for both off-grid and campsite camping. Whether we were parked up in the middle of nature or staying at a site, the van made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable.

Kathy, the owner, was incredible from start to finish. She made sure we had all the essentials and was so friendly an...

### Donald - 5.0/5
*August 2025*

Kathy was very good to deal with. She showed us how to use everything in the motorhome which made it easier with our holiday. We went through the forms before and after we used the van and everything was explained perfectly. I did have trouble with Gibson&#39;s at the end of the trip with a glitch in their system. The system was telling me I owed 450 pound, but it should have only been 50 pound. This was fixed after a couple of days and I was then able to approve the 50 pound to come out of the d...

### Rachel - 5.0/5
*July 2025*

We hired Kathy’s van for Glastonbury and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Kathy was fantastic — incredibly helpful, responsive, and thorough.

The handover process was detailed and informative, and no question was too much trouble. Before collecting the van, we completed a questionnaire which really helped clarify what was included, and Kathy even offered thoughtful extras like doing a shop for us beforehand.

The van itself was easy to drive and set up, and ...

### Mike - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

Before the trip, Kathy sent us a form where we could specify which equipment we needed in the van - this was very helpful. We knew exactly what we needed to take with us. The handover was very clear and set us up nicely. We had a short trip - just 3 nights around the Yorkshire dales but we  had some variety: We stayed in a basic site, wild camped one night and then finished in a more well equipped site. The van was very comfortable for two adults and two Labrador. s and it worked flawlessly. ...

### Nanny Sue - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

Kathy is the best host you could wish for, kept in touch, was alway quick to resond to any queries.
The van is fantastic, has everything you could possibly need, we took far too much with us!
Karhyprovided us wirh a goody box, butter, jams and milk which was very welcome. Kathy was happy to accept both our fur babies who enjoyed there first experience too, we usually camp in a tent but van life is great with the British weather.  We will definitely book with Kathy again

### Katie - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

Had a wonderful trip around Wales in Kathy's camper. We were complete novices but Kathy talked us through everything in detail.  The van is beautiful and very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need provided. She very generously let us collect the van early and return it a little later.  The whole process from start to finish was stress free.  I can't recommend highly enough! 

### Lorna - 5.0/5
*April 2025*

I hired the van to see if it was something I would enjoy in the future and brought a friend for moral support.
Kathy&#39;s hand over was excellent and the instruction folder and videos really helpful.
The van was comfortable and well equipped for us and the dogs.
We didn&#39;t go far just around Lancashire and Yorkshire but found beautiful places. The van handled really well, but it was just a bit wide for me as a novice campervan driver. I was more confident by the end of our week. 
I would highly r...

### Andy - 5.0/5
*April 2025*

We had a great time in Kathy’s van. The van is brilliantly equipped and was easy to drive.  There was a real treat of a welcome pack with drinks and breakfast -again so well organised. All the communication with Kathy during the booking process was clear and professional.  The  links to Kathy’s Instagram account with online videos showing how to use the van together with the comprehensive on-board manual were invaluable and made the whole experience easy. For us this was a case of “try before...

### Jacqui - 5.0/5
*March 2025*

I had a fantastic experience hiring from Kathy and travelling and staying in Garuda.  Kathy has thought of everything you would need and was so helpful in getting the van set up and ready to go as well as explaining everything I needed to know clearly.
It was just me and my dog Angus who also loved our trip.  We went to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, had plenty of walks, fresh air and excellent nights of  sleep.
I would highly recommend Kathy and Garuda and if you are thinking abo...
