**Stop press - I will carry on hiring via Goboony this year 2026 as last year it went well and met some lovely people.....since signing up to Goboony in June 2025 Aisholpan has been to:
Glastonbury - with a professional drummer and his partner - great driver
Silverstone - FI weekend - different driving!
Blue Reef festival - with some cool lady DJs
Peak District. - 4 friends for a walking weekend
Cropready festival - lovely local family
Shambala - lady considering buying a camper....
I also took her to Switzerland in June and December and to Scotland in the autumn :)
when she is at home she sometimes hosts people for Airbnb - including families who are visiting Good Vibrations or other Pippingford festivals which are about 20 minutes away by car.
In 2026 I now offer my own insurance to cover hire and reward which should make booking more reasonable - last year many inquiries didn't complete I think as the add on insurance cost was so much higher. Please bear with me for the first couple of bookings this year so I can get the price right!
I don't use the water system so cannot explain it to you but in her November 2025 HAB check they told me it was all working fine. The manual is there..... Otherwise the way I do it... the loo is fine but 'manual' but the shower is not working. Washing up is easy just using refillable bottle supply. This is how I have always used this camper and previous vehicles.
Beautifully made and fitted out, Aisholpan is a Class A motorhome offering spacious comfort and a proper nights sleep on the drop down double bed making it easy to arrange everything each night. The seats rearrange to make another smaller double bed. She drives easily just is wider than a normal car so please make sure you are confident with your spatial awareness if you wish to hire her.
Being able to stand up easily, cook on the 3 ring gas hob and use the loo first thing in the morning are my camping requirements. Its great to have the nippy smaller campers for a couple of days but if you want to spend more than 5 more space makes it so much easier.
Slovenia and back was our second trip in our gorgeous, home from home, Adria Vision. She is also great for UK city/ country stops and in the 3 years I have owned her we have been to Scotland, the south coast, Bath, Cambridge, Stratford on Avon, Hereford and many other places....She has also been accomodation for a local festival family when they looked at the forecast and sensibly changed their plans from tenting.....
Adria is a Slovenian camper brand and they are ahead of us in terms of fitting out. So, though now 15 years old, she has lovely curvy wood furniture and smooth edges - rarely what was being built in the UK in 2010....We previously owned an Adria caravan and had been impressed by the build quality so I didn't look at other brands when I was looking for a camper as she just met my requirements. I am used to driving a 7.5 t horsebox so for me she is straightforward to drive. If you have only ever driven a small car please think about this - unlike a smaller van she is of similar dimensions to a supermarket delivery van.
There is a lockable 'garage' at the back where you can easily store 2 or 3 bikes safely away from the weather. There is plenty of well designed storage space inside. We often travel with 2 guitars, a power pack and an amp and it would be harder to put all these plus 'life stuff' and bikes in a smaller camper. Its full height to stand up and cook or stretch so if its raining its not so restricting as a smaller van....
Her name comes from the film 'The Eagle Hunteress' as she is bold and brave! Travelling around Slovenia and the Austrian and Swiss alps I have several times met gravel roads with steep inclines that I wished I hadn't - but she has a Renault Master Diesel engine and she is a great vehicle! She is also fairly economical on fuel. Also waking up to a snowy slope in Hereford after a night by the River Wye - again, thankfully she got us out.....
Note - if you are into Eagles then the 'Eagle walk' in Malbun, Lichtenstein is an amazing experience - 2 hours with a man and his bird - he has trained birds of prey all his life. However unless you are very good with heights I do not recommend the drive up to Malbun in the motorhome - amazing views but terrifying hairpins and entirely in first gear! There is a great bus service. The car park there is good for campers though .... :)
I reckon she does about 30-40 mpg. A full tank is around £130 and lasts quite a while. She is not the fastest on the Autobahn, cruising around 55-60 is comfortable and she is happy to go up to 65/70 but it feels a bit more of a push.
Please note that the loo is a fully functioning cassette loo, but we have never used the water system for showers/ sink etc as I prefer to just use refillable bottles and canisters (which would come with her full for you to use). If you are an experienced motorhomer then please do work out the water system for me - its not hard and the tank is clean and aired, just I prefer not to use it.
Please note I will need a DVLA check code and to use this you also need to send me the last 8 digits of your licence. 3 points for speeding with no other restrictions are fine as though it is possible to go over the limit in her its really not her thing.
This is my second year hiring her out and my first offering my own insurance via Alan Boswell. Please get in touch if you are interested.
