The Blackdown
Our popular day van conversion, The Blackdown, is perfect for spontaneous getaways and larger families. Its versatile design provides ample space for bikes and boards, while also offering ideal living, sleeping, and seating arrangements. The full-width bed offers plenty of space for comfortable sitting and sleeping.
Designed to safely seat three people while traveling, the bed easily folds down into a large, cosy sleeping area for last-minute sleepovers. With front and back access, the streamlined drawers provide convenient under-bed storage, keeping everything within easy reach. The compact yet functional kitchen pod includes a sink, a single-burner hob, and a front-loading fridge. Simply stock up with your favourite food and drinks, and you’re ready to go!
