Puffin 2 - Our Original, Ultra-Compact Option

The Puffin 2 is compact, efficient and brilliantly designed for up to two people. It’s ideal for couples or friends who want a well-equipped, budget-friendly way to see Scotland. Despite its small footprint, it packs in all the essentials for life on the road. We have automatic transmission versions of Puffin 2 - please enquire before booking.

Puffin 2 Plus - More Space, More Features

Built on a long-wheelbase version of the original Puffin 2, the Puffin 2 Plus gives you extra interior space for more comfortable living and some great added extras:

Larger fridge and increased storage
Campsite electric hookup for mains power
Built-in heater - great for cooler nights and off-season trips

Whichever Puffin you choose, you’ll enjoy a cost-effective, comfortable, and flexible way to explore Scotland in style - without the downsides of bulky campervans.

Our Puffin 2 and Puffin 2 Plus campers are very cost efficient to hire and equally budget friendly to run giving a real world 50 plus miles per gallon (5.6l per 100km) fuel economy and 6-700 mile range on a tank. Combine this with the driving comfort and ease of operation that only a compact design can offer and you can plan your trip without worrying about distances or driving a large vehicle on twisty and narrow highland roads.

These newly fitted out camper conversions feature high quality custom interior conversions which means you get built-in comfort, facilities and space. They all feature black out curtains, plumbed in water with sink and tap, a proper 2 ring gas powered hob for cooking, fridge and an electricity supply for lights and USB charging.

Puffins also have a proper fold out campervan bed (with 10cm hi-density foam - very comfortable!) and up to 1.7m of headroom due to the high roof design so you can cook and move about more easily inside the van. Our custom interiors make the trip more comfortable because of their clever space efficient design and compare favourably to other small campers.

The second battery charges up automatically as you drive and operates the highly efficient LED lighting, fridge and water supply for when you are parked up at night. You also get campsite electric hookup in Puffin 2 Plus as standard. In all Puffins you get a large and very effective fridge to keep your food and drinks cool and fresh both when driving and when parked up.

The specially designed fold out bed with 10 cm memory foam gives you 6' 1 x 3' 6 (186cm x 110cm) available sleeping space – cosy yes, but adequate for 2 friendly adults. For persons over 6' please be aware that Puffin 2 is a car based design and interior space is therefore limited and Puffin 2 Plus might suit you better.

Optional Roof Tent. You can add an optional Roof Tent to the hire of your Puffin 2 camper (cannot be added to the Puffin 2 Plus) The roof tent will give an additional bed space above the vehicle which can sleep up to 2 persons. It is easy to deploy (folds open and is ready to use in under a minute) and comes with a mattress. By adding the roof tent option you have the benefit of a separate second sleeping area with a generous bed size for up to 2 persons. Just choose Roof Tent as an option in the Book Now section.

Puffin 2 Plus campers have all the same features as the Puffin 2 but are based on the long wheel base/high roof Doblo so you get additional interior living space and extra facilities such as greater storage space and a larger fridge. In addition they also feature campsite electric hookup and a fitted heater (you'll appreciate this outside of summer months)
