All Yep Campervans work independently without being plugged in to mains electricity; each Van has a domestic 3 pin plug socket that you can use when you are plugged in to the campsite supply.
Once hooked up to the mains, at your campsite, you will be able to use mains devices such as hairdryers and laptop computers.
All Yep Campervans have an extremely versatile and efficient on board heating system that is fuelled by the diesel tank, without the need to be connected to mains electricity.
Emma and Giuseppe both have a water heating system, powered by the on board gas bottle which works without the need to be connected to mains electricity.
The van’s battery will recharge as you drive around.
Although free camping is forbidden in Sardinia, the small size of our vans will allow you to stop and sleep almost everywhere. At your arrival, we will explain to you some simple rules to let you live the dream almost anywhere on the island.
3. VAN PICK UP AND RETURN
Your trip starts at our headquarters in Albagiara, a very nice small town 40 minutes drive from Cagliari airport.
Many of our customers love to start or finish their vacation by visiting the many local natural and archaeological attractions such as, the Nuraghic site at Barumini or the wild La Giara plateau which is the land of the Giara horse, a small Sardinia native horse breed which is one of the few indigenous “breeds of limited distribution” recognised by the AIA (the Italian breeders’ association).
It is also possible to pick up the campervan in Cagliari (airport or city centre), free of charge for rentals of at least 10 days.
Van collection is from 14:00 to 22:00 while Van return must always be before 11:30 to allows us time to service and check the campervan ready for the next customers.
If you would like to return your van earlier than planned, just please let us know, but please bear in mind it will not mean a pro rata reduction in your hire charge.
Please contact us for any special requirements, we will be very happy to look for the best solution for you.
The van must be returned with all the equipment in the same condition as it was received at the beginning of the rental, with the diesel tank full, the waste water tank empty and the chemical toilet emptied, cleaned and free of waste.
