Highland Campervans & Highland Campers - Campervan, Motorhome, RV and Caravan - Hire, Sales & Servicing in the Highlands of Scotland

Campervan, Motorhome & Caravan - Hire, Sales & Servicing Scotland

Sustainable Tourism Highland Campervans offers campervan sales, motorhome, campervan & caravan hire, plus caravan, motorhome & campervan servicing - all from our Highland base in Inverness, Scotland.

Experience the real Scotland in one of our luxury, heated campervans and motorhomes. Perfect for touring the Scottish Highlands or using as a base for outdoor activities, our campervans have automatic gears, elevating or hi-top roofs and 4-wheel drive for winter hires. Our larger motorhomes are great for families who like a little more space or for a group of adults travelling together. Hire Prices vary according to the season and we have an online availability calendar to help plan campervan and motorhome holidays.

Catch up with Highland Campers latest news and see photos of our new workshop in our Spring 2011 Newsletter! Click here to view an online pdf version or if you contact the office we will happily post one out.

We are the Highlands longest-established campervan hire & sales company and in 2010 we expanded to offer a servicing and workshop facility for caravans, motorhomes and campervans. We are able to carry out motorhome and caravan repairs and servicing at our base in Scotland, plus we offer a mobile call-out service within the local area. Our engineer is also able to undertake Thetford and Webasto warranty work. We are currently working towards the National Caravan Councils Approved Workshop Scheme and hope to gain full accreditation before summer 2011.

I have wondered about what Anonymous gives as banks playing with each other for sometime. I am a bit freaked to see that someone/others are thinking the same thing as my paranoid self. There are couple of other ways that they can play this out as well.

A wee film about us on STVs the HOUR SHOW click on STV logo to see the film

Andy the Daft Hermit lives 45 minutes outside Inverness with his wife Mel in an old bus parked in a layby. This current home of theirs is the longest they have ever stayed in one spot. “I’ve been travelling now 25 years,” said Andy Lowe. “Mel’s been travelling 15. One of the reasons we’ve come and stayed up here is because of Mel’s health. I wanted to bring her to the mountains for fresh air and clean water and just a slower pace of life.” Mel has had breast cancer twice, skin cancer once, and for three years believed she had bone cancer after being wrongly diagnosed. Andy’s belief in the restorative powers of the north made them pack up ‘The Black Bus’ that they live in and cross the border into Scotland. New Highland home for hermit couple Andy and Mel “I think we both believe in trying to get to a more simple way of life,” said Andy, “but it’s strange for us because we are sort of hermits, or we like to live separate, but it’s not being anti-social… it’s just the way we are that allows us to be creative.” Andy first began travelling when he left the army. Fed up with bureaucracy he packed a rucksack and left for France and has been travelling ever since. By investing any money the couple have earned into solar panels and wind generators they now live a self-sustaining existence, without electric bills, and collect rain water “straight from Heaven”. “It’s not easy,” said Mel. “There might be time when there might not be enough facilities around, but you always find a way, you know?” Rather than rejecting technology, Andy blogs about his travels online and collaborates with artists from around the world via his ‘Scratchy Heid Film Studio’, which he runs from a static trailer next to the couple’s bus. He explained his philosophy: “My belief is that if you can go through life and you drop dead and you’ve got a balance there that slightly outweighs the good than the bad, you’ve done alright. “Yesterday, with what Mel’s been through with the cancer and all that, I had a woman on one of my sites there that thanked me for the writing, for the positive things, and to me that’s worth everything. You can keep your millions, we’re not interested. That is what we do.” To check out Andy’s artwork and video projects check out his website. MORE FROM THE NORTH
