MR AND MRS ATTRIDGE AND THEIR NEW VR200

17 May 2019
It was great to receive this lovely letter from Alan and Pam Attridge.

Hi Brooke,

Would just like to say a big thank you to you and your team at Ventura Camper Vans. We dropped off our VW T6 and collected our new Boxer Ventura Van, even though we arrived 45 mins to early we were met with a very warm welcome and offered tea and coffee.

The exchange went very quick and smoothly with Brooke helping us to transfer all of our camping gear from one van to the other.

We were soon on our way in our shiny red Ventura, keen to try out our new picnic basket hamper kindly provided in our van on pick up. We stopped off at Cheddar Gorge for a few nights  on the way home to test our new camper out. (see photo).

First thing we noticed is how wide the double bed is compared to our old T6 which had a very claustrophobic feel. There is masses of storage space which is more than enough for two people. The vehicle itself drives very smoothly and is very economical for its size.
Can't wait until our next weekend out. 

Thank you again
Alan & Pam  Attridge
