Caravanette Hire


Caravanette Hire




Caravanette Hire



I can always rely on my Mum and Dad to come up with words I haven’t heard since I were a lad and this week, Caravanette was one of them. Here’s the dictionary definition: ‘a motor vehicle with a rear compartment equipped for living in‘, ah OK that’s a motorhome then?  Are there people Googling Caravanette Hire every day?  Then I thought back to my youth and I am sure that I had a Matchbox Volkswagen Caravanette, I had a quick look around on Ebay and indeed there does seem to be quite a few for sale called just that.  I’m no VW expert, but if someone would like to fill me in with a comment below about if the vehicle pictured was ever called a Volkswagen Caravanette then I’m all ears. I always thought the real name was something like Volkswagen Type 1 Kombi.



As cute as these campers are, things have moved on, modern vehicles are more reliable, efficient, faster, have better brakes, power steering and are just generally easier to drive and more spacious. So if you are looking for caravanettes to hire like the old VW Splitty here, we can’t help you, but if you’d like something more like the Trigano Tribute 2 Berth for your caravanette hire needs, talk to us.

The Trigano Tribute takes advantage of the specification offered by the new Fiat Ducato. The lounge area also offers a sofa bed on the offside and a forward facing single seat on the near side.



The lounge area again quickly converts into a choice of 2 bedroom arrangements offering two single beds or a transverse double bed. The rear of the  offers a combined 4 burner hob, oven incorporating grill, stainless steel sink, drawers to the underneath and a full length wardrobe. Opposite is a large wash room offering electric flush toilet, wash basin and a fully enclosed separate shower cubicle, you wouldn’t get that in an old VW!



If you’d like to talk to someone about campervan hire or indeed caravanette hire, just call 0800 612 8719, we are always here.
