David Elliott, CEO and founder of Wellhouse Leisure commented: “I must admit that we all felt quite emotional when we found out that our campervan had helped to raise over £1 million for the BBC Children in Need’s 2020 Appeal. This year they raised a total of £41 million, which is an impressive amount of money to help change children and young people’s lives, and we are incredibly proud to have been a part of it.”

“We must also say a big ‘thank you’ to our customer who gave up her build slot so we could donate this Proace Matino to the competition,” continued David.

It has a kitchen with fridge, sink and gas cooker, a rear seat that unfolds to become a double bed, a pop-up roof containing another double bed, a programmable heater to keep the interior warm and cosy all year round, plus a 80W solar panel to keep its leisure battery charged if camping off-grid.
