If you have ever fancied owning a Dormobile, and wonder what it may be like, one simple way to experience it is to hire a car from one of several UK based hire companies that will lease you one for anything from a weekend to a month. That way you can try out the benefits (and perils) of ownership without any of the risks as the realities of a classic Dormobile are very much like any classic car – there is a bit of a romantic image attached to it that can sometimes be at odds with real life.

Classic campers do need love and attention and you can’t expect levels of refinement or performance of a modern car, and a hire period would give any potential owner great experience of this, with the reassurance that if there are any problems, the hire company will be straight out to help you.

A quick search via google reveal several hire companies, for example South West Camper Hire on 01392 811631, they have this classic 1975 Volkswagen Camper dormobile conversion for hire:

Another candidate may be this dormobile, known as “Rooster” that is available from North Coast Campers, you can reach them on 01840 230232.
