Campervan

For couples looking for more space and all the conveniences of a class A motorhome (the Urban Plus campervan is technically a Class B motorhome because it’s a converted van), then the Urban Plus is the perfect self-contained vehicle for your self-drive holiday, fully kitted out with all the commodities you’d expect from home.

Spaceships UK is under 45 minutes from Luton airport and in keeping with their army knife mantra, the UK fleet is surprisingly varied.

Camping Van

Arguably its best feature is the integrated awning allowing the crew to take external advantage of the table and chairs.

Motorhome Rental

While Spaceships Swiss Army Knife concept lay the keystone for the company, they have a couple of slightly more traditional cabover-based motorhomes that cater to the needs of larger groups or families.
