Melford – Explore Scotland in Mellow Yellow

Hey there, meet Melford, our sun-kissed campervan. This sturdy, high top camper has been custom made for people looking to connect with Scotland up close in a swift and hassle free fashion. You drive Melford effortlessly to each and every outpost of Scotland.

Cooking
Melford's living quarters are compact but highly organised so everything is within hand reach. There is a little two-pan gas stove, pots and pans in the cupboard and we generally keep condiments in there as well. That way you probably won't have to buy items like sugar, tea, mayo and the like. The cool box under the bed keeps your food cool with ice packs.

Sleeping
There’s a fixed double bed, which runs lengthwise across the van, creating a long stretched bed (so the taller persons can stretch their legs). Very comfortable sleeper, and you can open the tiny porthole windows to regulate the air.

Bikes/shower
We have a bike rack in case you need it. There is also a shower that can be used outside the camper and which is pump-and-spray.

Driving
The van handles like a dream and there is a stereo radio/cd player as well as an aux facility so you can play your own music via the car speakers. Bring your own aux cable to plug in the 3mm jack and also bring your own phone holder. There are various USB ports for charging your devices powered by a separate leisure battery which itself is powered by driving the camper.

Winter camping
Melford is equipped with a very powerful parking heater, which will keep you warm in winter. The heater is powered by diesel and heats the camper very quickly.

Campsites
For washing and generally keeping in touch with civilization, you could hit a campsite now and then - I have a list of the ones in the highlands that stay open in winter so just ask me and I'll forward it. The list has been transferred to a custom made Google Map and now also incorporates public showers throughout Scotland, great places to visit etc etc. Guests can mark their favorite sights/showers/places to park overnight to this map.

Wild camping
Wild camping (staying on the roadside overnight) is generally tolerated in Scotland, except in the Loch Lomond area (where Nessie resides). It's the Land of the Free after all. Most people do it without any problem, so long as you don't pitch up right on the doorstep of a campsite and keep the noise down. When you want to meet Nessie, just check out the Loch Lomond National Park website, which guides you to spots you can stay overnight.

Insurance
Let me know your age, how long you have been driving and which country issued your licence.
