About the area: The Laurent lives in Whitstable, the perfect place to begin and a destination worth arriving early for.

Whitstable is one of those rare towns that hasn't forgotten what it is. Perched on the south east of Kent coast an hour from London, it's a working fishing harbour wrapped in pastel beach huts, independent oyster shacks, and streets that reward an unhurried wander. It smells of salt and seaweed in the best possible way.

Your adventure starts here and we'd encourage you not to rush away. Collect The Laurent, load up, and give yourself a few hours to settle in to van life the right way: a walk along the shingle beach, oysters at the harbour, coffee from one of the town's excellent independent cafés. Whitstable has a habit of making people slow down, and that's exactly the right mindset for the road ahead. Description of Beds: The centrepiece is a motorised elevator bed, at the touch of a button it rises to reveal a full lounge area underneath, giving you a proper place to relax, work, or entertain during the day without ever having to dismantle or rearrange. Come evening, the bed descends into a plush, hotel-quality sleeping space, with a full size double bed. It's one of the smartest uses of van space you'll find in any conversion.

The Laurent legally drives 3 and could easily sleep 4 with the lounge underneath the elevator bed also converting into a sleeping space. Description of Seating: Three belted seats in the front (including driver) with headrests. Description of Electrical Setup: 800W of solar panels cover the roof, feeding into two Fogstar lithium batteries — a serious off-grid system that keeps everything running day and night without needing a hookup. Two MaxAir roof fans (one Deluxe, one Dome) keep the air circulating in all conditions, and the whole system is built to handle extended off-grid living without compromise.

There are multiple dual plug sockets through out the Laurent with USB & Usbc port in too. Aswell, as a pop up plug integrated into the kitchen side for all your applicances, such as kettles, blenders etc.

Because the Laurants electrical system is so big (3000w Inverter) it has a 12 in 1 Ninja Air Fryer/Oven on board and a double pan induction hob for all cooking. Parking: Where you will pick up and drop off the The Laurent is a quiet residential area, great for pick up and drop off. In terms of parking for your stay the world is your oyster, whistable offers many costal scenic roads where you could park or stay but feel free to take the Laurent as far as Europe! Kitchen Facilities: A fully fitted kitchen means you'll eat as well on the road as you do at home. The setup includes a built-in dual stove, sink, and generous pantry storage, plus a Ninja 12-in-1 air fryer and oven for serious cooking capability. Keeping it all fresh is a 90-litre compressor fridge/freezer — big enough for a full weekly shop. With 200 litres of fresh water onboard, you're genuinely self-sufficient. Bathroom Facilities: A full en-suite with hot shower — powered by the Truma Combi D6E — means no trudging to site facilities. The portable toilet sits neatly within the bathroom space and can be removed when not needed, freeing up room exactly when you want it. Hot water and cabin heating are both handled by the Truma, so you're warm and comfortable in any season. Audio Equipment: The Laurent has apple car play with built in speakers in the cab so you can cruise to your favoruite music with ease. Type of Heating: The Laurent is fully heated with smart heating as there is a Truma D6E installed onboard. Heating has been spread across the van to heat the whole space evenly. Pet Information: Please request pets. Conversion Story: The Laurent is not your average campervan hire. Built on a 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 907 LWB and converted to an exacting standard, this is a rolling boutique hotel, finished in warm beige and walnut, and equipped with everything a discerning traveller needs to live, work, and explore in genuine comfort.

Whether you're chasing coastlines, crossing borders, or simply slowing down somewhere beautiful, The Laurent gives you the freedom to do it without compromise.

Our whole mindset with the van was "Freedom at its finest"
