Squash the Campervan Squash is a much loved 1980 VW Westfalia Campervan who is available to friends & family in exchange for a small donation to her upkeep. Open to enquiries.

Everyone loves a bright orange camper van, and this is certainly the case with our Squash! A sprightly 35 years old and full of character, she is available for use by friends and family in exchange for a small donation to her upkeep and maintenance. This is not a business venture. This page is dedicated to her travels and adventures, and the amazing memories created along the way. Please feel free

to contact me if you'd like to know more. Squash rolled off the VW production line in 1980 and was fitted out to a Westfalia 'Joker' specification of camper van, Westfalia being a VW approved conversion company. Having driven all around Europe (with window stickers to prove it!) she was imported to the UK in 2002 and I have owned her since 2013.
2015 saw her original and tired 50bhp air cooled engine replaced with a more modern water cooled unit, more specifically a 2 litre fuel injected 135bhp Audi engine. The effects of the conversion on power and reliability have genuinely been far greater than expected, and she is now ready and waiting for fun and adventure in 2016!

Hi everyone.....

Squash the Campervan will no longer be available to hire.....primary career and childcare commitments must come first, and the reality is that this leaves little time for hiring out Squash.
Thanks to everyone for all your support and encouragement. Hopefully you'll agree that no matter how well intentioned these endeavours are, they need to be done properly or not at all!

I'll keep posting on this page, but more out of a passion for campervan life than with any commercial intention. Please keep following and sharing, there is still a lot of fun to be had!

THE purchase of a camper van will not make your life meaningful or free, it has emerged.

Hands up, who can relate to this? :-)

Looking for a cheaper way to hire Squash the Campervan.....?

A CHEAPER WAY TO HIRE A CAMPERVAN.....We are trialling a new rental agreement whereby for a reduced hire charge we can deliver the van to a local campsite of your choice, set up the awning for you, and leave you to it!
By omitting your ability to drive the van, you save on both insurance costs and security deposit outlay, while at the same time keeping your ability to enjoy a family holiday in it! BONZA!

Take me off to the calmness of the wilderness.....

Vanlife gives us freedom of time and location to follow our passions of mountain biking, surfing, yoga and dance.

These loves of ours are why we chose this lifestyle over three years ago, and although we value and are on a path of simplicity, the truth is we lug around a ton of gear including mountain bikes, surfboards, helmets, backpacks, bike pump, camping gear, hula hoops, slackline, fly fishing gear, yoga mats, yoga blocks, and more.

We recently upgraded our roof box and bike rack to Thule and are really digging the set up. So grateful for their work in creating products that fuel our flow. 🙏🏽

What do you travel with in your simple-not-so-simple life? 🚐✨

Weekend camping and day tickets available. Live stages and DJ's performing all weekend. Traders. Kids zones. Food markets. Rothfink Area. Off road track & more.

This is our fourth time circling back to the red. Every year our heart strings are pulled by the beauty, mountain biking and friends.

Yet this return feels different. I am freer, without work obligations that tie me to cafes with speedy Wi-Fi. Now is the time to recreate, to re-create the strength in my legs lost from years of sitting. Now is the time to follow rocky dirt roads until they lead us to a forgotten cliff dwelling, an unridden trail or a shift in perspective.

A big thanks to Gowesty Camper Products for all they have done to make Boscha ready to charge hard.
