ROMA
Roma has been inspired by my childhood years travelling throughout Europe and Morocco in a Mercedes van with my parents, then finally living in a Roma caravan for a number years where my first son was born. Roma started life as a normal DPD delivery van until 2017 which was when I bought her. I started the conversion having planned, designed and researched all that I needed to turn her into a lavish style camper van inspired by Romany caravan interiors and the love of the road. A traditional Vardo caravan has a fabric stretched canvas. Roma has a beautifully wall papered ceiling with arched stripes of Ash recreating this design. The British Romany tradition of the Vardo is seen as a high cultural point of both artistic design and a masterpiece of woodcrafter’s art, which Roma has in abundance. She is made from a locally fallen Olive Ash tree along with reclaimed wood. No expense has been spared made with Roma's detail. With her gypsy painted panel design, handmade velvet curtains to keep you warm and cosy at night and plenty of cushions for comfort.
ABOUT THE CAMPERVAN
Description of Beds: The back of the van consists of two large full size double bunk beds. Both beds are 4'6' x 6'3". These can sleep two adults each or two adults and two children/two teenagers. No need to convert seats to beds as they are permanently made. Just hop into bed with no effort.
Description of Seating: Two front seats with 3 point harness seat belts. These both swivel round to create a dining area behind. Rear twin seat forward facing with 3 point harness seat belts. These join the front seats to create the dining area. All seats are suitable for child and baby seats.
About the area: Roma lives in a tiny village in the Oxfordshire countryside. We are only 1 mile from Jct 7 off the M40. There is a wonderful bus service from Heathrow and Gatwick to Lewknor which is only 1 mile away, where i can pick you up. This is the same bus stop used for the Oxford Tube Bus service, which is also an excellent service from London Victoria, Marble Arch, Notting Hill, Shepherd Bush and Hillingdon or from Oxford. This is available 24 hrs every 10 minutes during the day and 20 minutes throughout the night. Nearest Train stations are High Wycombe or Princess Risborough. If i am available and need be I can arrange a transfer service from Heathrow airport as i am only 30 mins away at a traffic free time, longer in rush hour! This will need to be arranged in advance and a fee will be charged for this service.
