Monty
MONTY
Camp in style with the glossy and gleaming Monty, newly-converted and ready for hire.
Meet Monty
Monty arrived in the UK from Japan in early 2020. Shortly after, he was converted into a campervan with pop top roof and mod cons added, including fridge, sink and two gas hobs. Thanks to Covid-19 he was marooned on the Isle of Wight over lockdown, but we welcomed him back to Dorset in late June to get him ready for summer hires! More photos coming soon. Monty can sleep two adults on the rock and roll bed down below, and up to two (small) children or one adult in the pop top roof. For a bit more space or even an additional sleeping area, you can add an inflatable drive-away awning to the hire. Monty is a Nissan Elgrand (a luxury MPV in Japan), and a really easy drive with its 3.5 litre engine, automatic gearbox and reversing camera. The vehicle isn't much bigger than your average people carrier, yet has everything you need to make your adventure fantastic, including some nifty storage solutions, sun canopy and all you need for cooking and living on the road. Get away from it all with Monty - book your campervan adventure today!
