About Practical Glasgow
After an idea to go on a camping trip with the children one Easter Bank Holiday, we searched for a campervan to hire ten years on and we rent Campervans, Cars, Vans, Tippers, Pickup Trucks and a holiday idea became our family business.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN?
Our UK readers will already know that the chances of it raining over the Easter Bank Holiday is considerably high, and we didn’t fancy a cold miserable tent or messing about putting it up, so what to do? After searching the internet for inspiration we found the ideal solution….hire a campervan!
This would give us the opportunity to roam around a bit and if we wanted to stop somewhere different for the night we could. Excellent, we had found our accommodation, now to secure one! After looking at the vintage VW’s and as beautiful as they are, we felt that they just were not practical for modern life. Most had mileage restrictions and some couldn’t be taken out of the county.
We then turned our attention to VW T6 Transporter conversions, much more modern. With these, we found a confusing array of different types. Some didn’t have windows all the way around so it looked a bit gloomy inside, others had very little storage space because the freshwater, wastewater and gas cylinder ate into a lot of the cupboard space.
The biggest issue I had with these conversions was safety. These vehicles had been cut, chopped, drilled and screwed by various different companies and sometimes by the owners themselves. Some of the rock-n-roll beds were not crash-tested, others didn’t have Isofix. Gas safety certificates were missing. This all made me feel uneasy for the safety of my children.

I was surprised that I had never heard of the VW California brand, it felt like I had stumbled across a secret club, and they had all the best toys and were keeping it to themselves.
I set up Förvåna to give everyone the chance to hire a VW campervan and experience the beautiful and amazing VW California for themselves.
