At Hertford Campers, we believe that freedom, adventure and comfort can all fit into a compact, beautifully designed space.
All of our small camper cars have been carefully assembled to offer everything you need for a hassle-free, comfortable escape; whether you’re off for a weekend break or embarking on a longer road trip, our vans provide the perfect transportation and living combination.
We’ve spent years perfecting our designs and layouts to ensure our customers experience the very best in compact campervan living and, in this article, we’re excited to share what makes our small camper cars so special.
Designed with Passion and Purpose
Our story began with a love for the open road and a frustration with the lack of stylish, affordable small usable camper cars on the market. From our base in Hertford, our team now handcrafts each contemporary camper car interior with precision and attention to detail.
We’re a family-run business with a passion for craftsmanship, sustainability, and providing exceptional service. When you choose Hertford Campers, you’re not just buying a van; you’re joining a community of explorers.
Why Choose a Small Camper Van?
Small camper cars have a lot going for them. They’re easier to drive, park and manoeuvre than larger motorhomes, making them perfect for both urban adventures and country getaways. They’re also more fuel-efficient and often fall into lower tax brackets and are cheaper to insure. But at Hertford Campers, we take small van living a step further by packing our campers with features that rival much bigger vehicles.
When you invest in one of our campervans you can expect:
A Fully Fitted Kitchen: Cook Anywhere, Anytime
We know that good food is an essential part of the travel experience. That’s why every campervan we produce comes with a fully fitted kitchen. You’ll find:
- A quality hob and sink with running water
- A spacious fridge/freezer combo
- Ample storage for utensils and dry goods
- Countertop space designed with functionality in mind
Whether you’re whipping up a quick coffee or preparing a hearty meal under the stars, our compact kitchen layouts make cooking on the go a real pleasure.
Solar Panels: Stay Off-Grid for Longer
We’ve designed our vans with off-grid freedom in mind. Our integrated solar panel systems mean you can stay powered up wherever you park and charge your lights, fridge, devices and more, all without relying on campsites or mains connections.
This sustainable energy solution gives you the flexibility to travel further and stay longer; whether you’re in the highlands or by the coast.
Extra Headroom: Small Vans, Spacious Feel
One of the most common misconceptions about our small camper cars is that they feel cramped. Our designs avoid this issue as each model is carefully crafted to maximise vertical space.
Many of our camper cars offer extra headroom thanks to our innovative pop-top roofs or raised interiors and this additional space makes a big difference. You’ll enjoy standing room for cooking, dressing, and moving around, giving the van a spacious, airy feel that enhances its compact footprint.
