Ed was fantastic throughout: helpful, flexible and responsive, helping us get the very best out of “Flo”. Our trip took us from Sussex, through France, Spain and then down Portugal’s coastline to Lisbon and Cascais. Flo was brilliant, not missing a beat on a very long trip that took us on everything from motorways to single track mountain roads. Flo was brilliantly kitted out for our adventure with plenty of flexible in-van and outdoor space for relaxing, sleeping and cooking. The additional power unit in the van meant we were never short of chilled food or drinks. In all our travels, we didn’t meet another fully electric camper, but did generate a lot of interest in how low-carbon (non-petrol/diesel guzzling) van-life is possible, even on long trips. We were sorry to say goodbye to Flo when we handed her back, but are looking forward to another adventure soon, either in Flo or, having tested the concept, in our own fully electric camper.

We had a fantastic weekend in the Cotswolds with Flo. It was our first time using an EV and at first a bit aprehensive about range, but it was a walk in the park. We travelled from Ed's place to the Cotswolds easily on one charge. Top tip: Look for sites that don't specifically mention "No EV Charging" in their rules. We used the campsite hookup electric to charge Flo overnight every night. Ed also recommended "Zapmap" which was useful for finding a rapid-charger on the return trip.
The camping setup is really well done with some great engineering in the pull-out kitchen. The leisure battery has plenty of charge and we cooked all meals in Flo and left the fridge running for the entire trip.
The roof-tent is really comfortable but make sure you try and park on a flat surface.
We're looking forward to using Flo for more trips in the future!
Isabelle
We had a fantastic bank holiday weekend with Flo, exploring the Sussex coastline. Everything was really easy and straightforward and Ed was very accommodating and friendly. We would love to take Flo out again somewhere new in the future and will be recommending her to all our friends!

I hired Flo for a couple of weeks roadtrip and had a fantastic time. I hopped from national park to national park all the way through Wales and up to the Cairngorms in Scotland. I mainly charged at campsites overnight which made it super easy. When I did have to charge at public chargers I didn't have any trouble as there seem to so many of them. All of the gear in the van worked great. Thanks Ed for a great trip!
Felice
We had a great time with Flo and despite the weather forecast we managed to enjoy a blissful weekend away in East Sussex and Kent. Flo took us to Hastings, Rye, Dover and Margate without a hitch and ensured we had restful nights on the very comfortable foam mattress :)
Ed is a fantastic host, explained everything well and was very accomodating.
We will definitely consider doing it again, maybe in the summer :)
Richard
Ed is a great host - he explained every detail of Flo to us and was on hand to answer questions via text and phone throughout our trip. I can't wait to use Flo again!
Jeremy
Flo was a superb partner for a long weekend adventure. Smooth and comfortable to drive, easy to park (like a biggish car but with a wheel at each corner), great range and very well equipped.
The conversion has been very well thought out and provides for comfortable sleep (foam mattress works even for this side sleeper), easy cooking (of the fry/boil kind), and relaxing in the flexible interior space. Flo turned heads wherever we went, and greatly impressed the eco-conscious guests at the house party we attended. It’s not often you get to take a trip in a conversation starter!
One night was rainy and windy but snug and comfortable inside the roof tent. I look forward to another trip in the summer when I can use the awning and settle in for a few lazy days. Thanks Flo!
Liv
We had such a wonderful weekend away with Flo! The handover was super easy. We took a long weekend to Suffolk and then to East Sussex, it was so easy to drive, the perfect camper van for chilling outside of and inside. We had really bad weather for one day but Flo was cosy and has all the gadgets for an easy and fun stay. It was such a different experience as we have never driven an electric car or been on a campsite in a van with roof tent. So easy to charge up en route, great conversation starter and loved the fringe freezer and built in sink which is removable and hose tap. Just made our trip so fun and easy. Thanks so much Ed! We will book her again soon for sure! X
