Outdoor enthusiast finds the ideal solution for a great adventure
For an outdoor enthusiast like TV presenter, author and former soldier, Andy Torbet, best known for his extreme diving, climbing, skydiving and underwater exploring, a campervan is the ideal support vehicle, which makes him the perfect ambassador for the UK’s leading campervan manufacturer, Wellhouse Leisure.
Andy will be taking a Wellhouse Ford Terrier M-Sport campervan, fitted with a bike rack and roof-mounted kayak carrier, all over the UK and mainland Europe for his busy schedule filming for various TV programmes; but one of his first trips will be with his family for a weekend at the Camp Bestival festival in Dorset where he is giving talks on ‘Beginner Adventures on Your Doorstep’.
Commenting on his new campervan, Andy Torbet said: “The beauty of a campervan like this Wellhouse Ford Terrier M-Camper is that it is the perfect size to use as an everyday car or travel long distances in with room for all my kit, plus the comfort of somewhere safe, warm and comfortable to eat, relax, work or sleep wherever I am.”
Items such as a roof-mounted solar panel to charge the leisure battery, plus a heater, kitchen with fridge, cooker and sink, plus on-board fresh and waste water tanks mean Andy can be self-sufficient when he is off-grid, usually in remote locations. The elevating roof can provide a second double bed, when needed, while the sliding rear seat offers the flexibility of being able to move it forward while travelling to maximise loadspace for all his kit or bring passengers nearer the front seats, but can then be moved backwards again to give more living space when camping.
The Wellhouse Ford Terrier M-Camper is a particularly eye-catching campervan as it is based on a luxury conversion of a Ford Transit Custom by M-Sport, the motorsport specialist that creates Ford’s World Rally Championship vehicles. The distinctive, rally-style exterior features a full body-kit with lowered suspension and 18in limited edition alloy wheels, while the special interior has white M-Sport limited edition dials, Nappa leather seats with M-Sport logo, blue seatbelts, and thicker sport steering wheel with full leather cover, blue stitching and M-Sport logo.
David Elliott, managing director of Wellhouse Leisure commented: “Andy Torbet is a great ambassador for Wellhouse Leisure as he is so passionate about using campervans for outdoor activities, exploring and adventures. We are sure that wherever he goes, our Ford Terrier M-Camper will be the perfect support vehicle for all Andy’s work and leisure commitments.”
