"The Gecko" VW Campervan was fully converted in late 2022 by Out And About Campers, West Sussex. The interior is smart and comfortable, with a fold away table and front swivel seats.  The rear seats fold down to create a comfy "rock and roll" bed for 2. Plus we have a push up "pop top" roof for additional head space or an extra sleeping area. We have added some basic kitchen essentials, pots, pans, plates, cups, etc which are all...

Sara was wonderful, helpful, kind and generous with her time, really, couldn't have been better. we had a wonderful time in her fantastic van, it's surprisingly spacious and comfortable. It was our first time in a camper and it was certainly memorable. We hope to do it again soon. April 2025
Response from Sara Thanks again, as my first renters of the year, I enjoyed the handover in a lovely location, and you are welcome again all 4 of you!
Joe Joe
We had a great trip in The Gecko. It's a lovely camper with everything you could need. It's also all nice and new. Sara and Gregor were very responsive to messages and really accommodating with our pick up/drop off requests. We had a great time and will hopefully hire it again in the future. Thanks! July 2024
Response from Sara Glad you all had a good time Joe, thanks for looking after the van!

A lovely immaculate campervan. Very easy to drive. Equipped with absolutely everything we needed and some lovely surprise extras. The hosts were super friendly and gave us a thorough handover. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again. June 2024

We had such a lovely weekend in Sara’s campervan! Sara’s communication was excellent, she sent us all the information needed and more. The campsite recommendations near Lewes were especially helpful! The campervan had absolutely everything we needed, it’s very well kitted out! We took our 2.5 year old with us and had a great time; he keeps asking when we’re going again! June 2024
Response from Sara So glad you had a good time, we must try out that campsite ourselves too!

We had a great few days in this camper van, it was great to drive and we found the inside to be very versatile which helped to create more space. Sara and Greg were very helpful in the lead up and at collection The van was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. I fully recommend. April 2024

Sara and Gregor were brilliant to hire from and always responsive to messages. My daughter and I had a lovely few days in the Gecko. As it was an October hire they went the extra mile providing us a hookup cable so I could run a mini heater to take the edge off the chilly mornings. Excellent attention to detail with all the nicknacks and essentials you could need without over-filling the van, so we could still pack our bits in too. Would highly recommend saying yes to the mattress topper for extra comfort! We would absolutely hire from these guys again 👍 October 2023
Jodie Jodie
We loved renting this cosy motorhome from Sara and had a great weekend away with the kids. It was very well stocked and Sara provided loads of nice little touches like a mini bottle of wine, shower gel and hand sanitiser, etc as well as all the kitchen utensils we needed. Sara was also excellent art communicating with us and was also flexible with our requests. We may well hire the Gecko from you again, Sara, thank you! July 2023
Geoff Geoff

Lizzy Lizzy
Very much enjoyed our trip away in The Gecko last week. Everything is well designed and clean. Sara and Gregor are really friendly and accommodating and have thought of everything you could possibly need. The beds were easy to make and very comfortable, and the van is easy to drive. We'll be back! Thank you, Lizzy June 2023

The motorhome was perfect in every way. It was immaculate and had everything provided that we needed for our trip. Thank you very much to Sara and Gregor who were fantastic and extremely welcoming. If we get the chance again, we will definitely be hiring from them. Many thanks kind Regards Maurice May 2023
