Welcome to Vangelina Jolie, a hand-crafted 1-of-a-kind converted campervan, perfect for wild-camp/off-grid adventuring in comfort. Based in the Newcastle, upon Tyne, the perfect launch pad for:
- Northumberland Coast & National Park: Stunning beaches, castles, and dark skies for stargazing.
- Scottish Borders & Highlands: Take the van up to Glencoe, the NC500, or the Isle of Skye.
- Lake District & Yorkshire Dales: Iconic landscapes just a few hours away
Vangelina is a MWB (Medium Wheel Base), high roof Mercedes Sprinter campervan – unlike long-wheelbases, is the perfect balance of having enough space while still being short enough to park in a normal spot and manoeuvre easily, more than high enough to stand inside.
Vangelina was built to provide luxury where you need it and simplicity where you can do without. She’s got a cosy cottage-like feel, with sage-green walls and solid wood bench tops. Creating a space you’ll actually enjoy spending time in… Return to from big adventures for a good meal and a cold beer or wine, for lazy mornings with coffee by the ocean and for touring the incredible wilds of Northumberland and beyond.
fitted with driving comforts like cruise control and a fuel-efficiency tracker. For reference, on a recent trip, I averaged 35mpg over 350 miles, pretty impressive for a fully equipped camper.
