Camperbug 2 Launches - Ahoy!
Yo Camperbugs! Camperbug has been live for just over a year and has proved to be quite popular. Over the past few months we've been developing a new version. And now it's live! Hopefully things shouldn't feel too different but the intention has been to make the site a little more user-friendly and interactive.
New Camperbug Homepage Illustration
So what are the differences?There are some obvious cosmetic changes such as the new illustrations which appear atop all the pages. The homepage has been made slightly more interesting too! It should feel a bit more informative than the wall of text it once was and the scroll bar is designed to get people straight to the main event! Da Vans.

The county listings themselves have been updated too, to show preview images of all the lovely campervans for hire, which means that the vans at the bottom of the list have just as good a chance of being seen and enquired about as those at the top. We're also going to be rolling out a method for automatically letting you feature your van on the homepage and by extension further up the county page. Will wonders never cease.
The van profile pages stay pretty much the same but you'll notice that My Camperbug has been cleaned. Sending and receiving messages could be quite confusing, especially when you have 70 enquiries on your page, so all the waffle is purged and our message board now is clear and concise.
Camperbug Messaging System
There is also a forum, feel free to suggest topics for discussion and also new categories that you might want to discuss. Plus International Locations (sound the vuvuzelas) have been added to the site, oh yes we're going global. But ahem the companies are slightly threadbare currently but we're sure they'll be signing up over the coming months.

So all in all, we're pleased with what's happened in a year, there are almost 400 vans advertised on the site from almost 200 Lenders around the UK. We're pleased to find that a large number of people have been interested in finding out more about hiring camper vans and we're looking forward to that!

Forthcoming Summer Vans of the Month for 2012
Well, we must be getting more organised over here at Camperbug HQ because there is actually a schedule for 4 months worth of Van of the Month's! How exciting! Never being ones capable of keeping such incendiary knowledge secret, we thought what better way to share this exciting information then through the medium of this sadly underutilised blog.

I just realised that I like making lists of the cool campers that appear on Camperbug. I mean where else would you get so many absolutely classic vehicles available for hire?? No where is where, this page being a snapshot of the riches that await the casual visitor to Camperbug.
Go Deeper →VW Split Screen Campers
The jewel in the crown for most Camperbug visitors is the VW Split Screen. These nostalgic vehicles don’t really have a peer of equal standing in the campervan world. Their lines inside and out speak of a different golden and perhaps rose-tinted age. When you drive one, you’ll cruise gently along quiet lanes in a vehicle as equally romantic as its surroundings.
