- Two lads.... Callum and myself Phil have been planning an unforgettable month long trip across Europe in one of our Camper vans, destination.... "Outlook festival in Croatia" The festival is held on a small island with beautiful beaches. The festival is 5 days long and has a 3 day after party. We will be heading by ferry to the hook of Holland to stop at Amsterdam, then on through Germany where we are ridiculously taking the van around the Nuremberg ring, detouring a little to visit Prague in the Czech republic, and down across Austria and Slovenia to reach Croatia. The trip home will take us through Italy France and Belgium
The van`s called Mr C, it is Phil`s and its had probably £30000 put in to it over the 8 years of building it, it’s a massive head turner people can’t work out if it’s an ex riot truck or if I’m worried about the zombies coming. Its fully caged up as its designed for wild camping (camping without a campsite) which means being self-sufficient and secure, it can go a week in the snow without even need to turn the generator on, and be 20 degrees inside! We are just fitting roof top airconditioning for Croatia, There`s nothing on the van that hasn`t been rebuilt or over hauled, I built the engine myself costing £4000 in parts it`s a 6 cylinder turbo diesel. I`ve recently remade/replaced/rebuilt all brake pipes, callipers, pads, shoes.
