Spacehips Campers launched in the UK

Spaceships Campers Launched in the UK!

17th October 2009

Hi all,

Well it's been a busy few months since we launched back in July.  Launching in the middle of peak season meant that we started with a hiss and a roar and needed to work hard just to keep up with demand.  Now winter's on its way we've finally got the chance to stand back and take a few breaths!

We'll also be getting out and about more to hostels and travel agencies spreading the Space word!

Thanks to everyone who has taken a Spaceship away - we've been getting amazing feedback with the most popular comment being that Spaceships have everything you need but comes with great extras like the DVD player and ipod connector that definitely enhance your trip!

One interesting trend we've noticed which is different here than for Spaceships in NZ and Australia is that many more locals are hiring Spaceships.  We've found that British customers also mostly say they're interested in coming back and hiring Spaceships year after year for their holiday, which is awesome!

Craig, Spaceships Oz's General Manager recently took a Spaceship away in the UK and Europe for a wee jaunt.  He came back saying that he was amazed how well both the UK and Europe were set up for camping, especially in France where there are 1000's of great campgrounds in amazing locations (including next to beaches and vineyards conveniently!)

Thanks to all those ex-Spaceship customers who have been getting in touch saying how excited they are that Spaceships are finally here and that they've seen ones whizzing down the M5 and so on!  We just received an email from a German ex-Stray customer (Stray is an hop-on hop-off adventure bus in New Zealand and Spaceships' sister company) who had seen a Spaceship in Berlin recently!

Watch out for a Spaceship coming your way soon or hire your own to explore the UK and Europe's outer space!

Live long and prosper,

The Space Cadets!
