Make this the year you relive your childhood by hiring a vintage caravan and taking the road trip of your dreams.
With caravan renovations exploding over the past year, Camplify (the Airbnb of caravans) allows people to rent out their vans when they’re not in use.
Though the vans are retro, they have all the modern comforts you could need, from coffee machines to cocktail carts. Though you may not want to spend too much time inside when there is so much to explore.
Take the kids or ditch the kids, and enjoy a romantic get away with your significant other. Either way, there’s a caravan for every holiday.
Camplify has rounded-up the best retro vans that will bring back all the nostalgia. Take a look at the top 10 below.
