Crafty Fredrick – The comfverted 2018 VW Crafter Supervan

Frederick is a beautifully converted, super reliable, incredibly spacious and modern 2018 VW Crafter. This van boasts ceilings high enough for the longest humans at 6 foot 4 inches. It can sleep up to 6 people, with a 160cm wide x 190cm long double bed at the rear for 2 bigger people and a 160cm x 160cm bed above it for 2 smaller people or 1 big one. There is then a cab bed option for a fifth person max length 170cm and I can supply a 55cm wide x 190cm long camp bed for the floor to fit a 6th in. There is then plenty of storage and multiple options for lounging/dining inside and out. Perfect for a couple, a family or a group of friends looking to get out of the city or just go exploring.

Power - capable of being completely off grid with 2 massive solar panels and multiple leisure batteries that power all the many internal usb plugs and 240v sockets. You can go day after day without ever needing to hook up, using laptops, heating water etc.

Kitchen - the spacious worktop includes 2 burners linked to a large gas tank below. There is a chunky compressor fridge/freezer and a large sink for washing up which has hot water from the boiler and plentiful supply from the 80litres capacity in the van. A fiamma maxvent fan above the kitchen area works to ventilate the space when you are cooking.

Sleeping - The lower bed folds out from the rear lounge area and can be extended for those who are not vertically challenged which makes it incredibly comfortable 1.6m wide by 1.9m long. The upper bed pushes to the back of the van to give extra headroom in the rear lounge and then slides out when it's time to sleep, at 1.6m long by 1.6m wide this bed will sleep 2 smaller ones side by side or one longer one on the diagonal. All have thick comfy IKEA foam mattresses. Curtains and window covers make sure it's nice and dark for sleeping into the morning early light. The cab bed is a foam mattress cut to shape to fit across the front seats and a person up to 1.7m can comfortanly stretch out straight in it with curtains all around the front windows to make it super cosy. The additional camp bed for the aisle is 55cm wide and 190cm long.

Shower and Toilet - you'll be thankful to hear there is a toilet on board so no need to brave the cold air when you're in need at night! The shower is in this space too with water kept nice and hot by the boiler, with enough for 5 or 6 showers before you need to think about refilling. Air vents including a maxvent fan will pull out any steamy air.

Lounge and Dining - The front chairs can be turned around and a table can be propped up for dining/working, however it's collapsible to ensure there's plenty of space inside to move around. There's also a more relaxed option to eat on the sofas of the rear lounge area where there's lights and the diesel heater doing it's magic. Whatever vibe you're feeling!

Storage - inside there are too many cubby holes, drawers and cupboards to list for storing everything you could possibly need. Outside the bike rack on the tow bar to the rear can fit 4 bikes.

The Fiamma awning for the side of the van gives a lovely space for shade with the kitchen worktop extending to give more table space that can be used outside and the interior tables able to be used outside with the chairs provided.

Driving - couldn't be easier with tis being a modern volkswagen van with all the additional features, such as cruise control, parking sensors, electric parking brake and hill start assist. Also an amazing soundsystem and android/iPhone auto which plugs your phone in and let's you use apps on the head unit including GPS. Miles per gallon is also fantastic for a van of this size.

This modern van is also Euro 6 emissions so it complies with all ultra low emissions zones (ULEZ) in the cities of the UK and Europe, including London. No unnecessary extra charges like most other vans! Added bonus to the cheaper fuel bill!

Fully comprehensive insurance and breakdown cover for UK and EU including onward travel and hotel costs as required is all included in the price! Not that you will ever need it with a van modern enough to still be covered under VW warranty who keep it fully serviced each year for us!

This is a gorgeous van that really has thought of everything. You will not be disappointed! From the outside it could even pass for a standard workvan so you can be stealthy if you need!
