Furgoneta camper van Antonio

Welcome to Fuerteventura, Elvis is waiting for you, together you’ll discover this awesome Island!

The van is located in Corralejo, in the big parking lot just in front of “Bristol sunset beach Hotel”, where we’ll have all the time to check-in!

You can get to Corralejo by bus departing from the airport or use our transfer service, at the cost of 30€ one way or 50€ round trip.

Once you’ll get on board we’ll compile a form to assess the status (intern and extern) of the van and its appliances/tools, the form will be used again during your check-out.

PS: it is mandatory to bring copy of your driving licence and IDs.

INSTRUCTIONS

Elvis has all the comfort you will need: smart radio, electric windows, airco, solar panel, sink, fridge, camp stove, external shower, chemical toilet, chairs, Bluetooth speakers, binoculars, flashlight, mirror, table (turning into bed with one simple movement), blankets and sheets, pillows, dishes, glasses, cookware, moka coffee maker, cleaning tools, fire extinguisher, first aid, tools and all you need to live the van life.

The van must be returned with the same fuel level it had upon departure (DIESEL ENGINE) with all objects and equipment intact and in their place and must be returned clean both inside and outside.

Please report any damage or damaged/lost equipment.

PS: remember that while driving it is FORBIDDEN to stay in the back of the van.

ELECTRIC PLUGS

You can recharge phones and other appliances, by using the USB chargers directly from the solar panel control center or by using the 220V plugs.

My recommendation is to use the 220V plugs only to quick charge or use/charge your laptop and preferably during the daylight hours.

In order to use the 220V you have to turn on the inverter, located under the passenger seat, by holding for 3sec a button on its side.

The energy consumption is very high therefore I advise to use it only during the most bright daylight hours.

In order to extend the van’s battery life, remember to turn off the inverter when the 220V is not in use or not required, because the inverter energy consumption is high even when there is nothing plugged in.

Take you your power banks with you because they could be useful regardless.

FRIDGE

My advice is to set the fridge temperature at 11°C in order to avoid an excessive energy consumption, the food will be fresh anyway.

In order to change the temperature click on the button with a lock sign and use +/- to set the temperature you want.

It is better not to keep inside (and in general inside the van) glass containers, since they can breakand/or damaging the fridge or the van itself

LIGHTS

In order to extend as much as possible the secondary battery life, remember to use the vans lights only when strictly required, use the chain of lights instead which has its own batteries (especially during the cloudy days).

SINK AND SHOWER

Under the sink you can find the clean and dirty water tanks, they have a nominal capacity of 30lts each, if used carefully without wasting water, they can last for 2/3 days.

Remember to shut completely the tap (by lowering it), in order avoid useless energy consumption due to the water pump running while the sink is not being used.

The shower has the same autonomy if used carefully, I recommend to bring your own towels or a poncho is even better since it will protect you from the wind.

CAMP STOVE

Camp stove usage it’s easy, you just need to connect the gas cartridge following the arrow on the gas cartridge itself, matching the small spring which is located in the stove’s gas cartridge compartment and locking it up by lowering the lever on the frontal part of the stove.

In order to light the stove, hold aflame (lighter) near the gas valve and turn it open.

It advisable to keep the stove into a flat surface, possibly near the rear doors, leaving side windows and porthole open (if is not too windy).

When you’re done cooking, remember to turn off the gas valve and to detach the gas tank byreleasing the lever on the frontal part of the stove.

ISLAND RECOMMENDATIONS AND INFO

The main roads of Fuerteventura are well maintained and it’s easy to enjoy the awesome panoramas, but in order to preserve the environment, there are no street lights on secondary roads, therefore is better to choose during the day where to spend the night and to reach it long before the sunset.

To drive along the North coast and the west coast during the night it’s forbidden by the law and it’s risky, the van can be easily damaged on the rocks, while driving off-road during the day it is highly recommended to drive slow and carefully anyway.

Another advice is to park always on the flat, ensuring the van will not move using the handbrake and by placing big rocks under the tyres, this will also help you sleep better.

Park ALWAYS away from cliffs, they can collapse under the effect of wind and extreme weather conditions.

Be always kind with other campers, people in general and with the extraordinary environment around you, never litter on the ground or abandon somewhere your waste, always use the bins.

Remember you are guests of a wonderful island, thrust me…if you’ll be respectful your holidays will be wonderful as well!

MEMORIES :)

In the glove box you can find a notebook, if you want you can leave some of your thoughts/memories at the end of your trip, it would be nice to collect all of your feelings, memories and what this experience gave you. I will then make some pics and post them on Elvis IG profile (@fuertevantour).

If you want you may follow the IG page @fuertevantour, if you like you may also add this tag to your own pictures, video, reels, so I can also share your goodtime! I would like to add to the van’s page a “digital logbook” as a collection of all the guests best moments.
