Once you consider occurring vacation within the small European nation of Eire, what involves thoughts? Most individuals image the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, the energetic pubs of Dublin, or the rolling inexperienced hills dotted with sheep and stone partitions.

We skilled all of that, and extra, throughout our 10 day street journey round Eire.

Our 10 Day Eire Campervan Journey

Whereas we have been in Canada visiting household, I noticed a van that seemed just like the good dimension for a visit someplace in Europe. It was from Indie Campers – the corporate we used again in 2020 throughout our campervan journey round Portugal.

I stated to Nick: “This campervan can be the right dimension for us in Europe! We haven’t completed a campervan journey shortly, it will be superior to work with Indie Campers once more.”

The subsequent day that firm reached out to us to share our expertise with the van in a rustic of our selecting.

That was the signal we wanted! It was time to plan a digital nomad campervan journey round Eire – someplace we’d needed to go to since 2020.

On this publish, I’m going to interrupt down our 10 day Eire campervan itinerary, in addition to some stuff you’ll need to know earlier than renting your individual van.

Right here’s our journey report from 10 days travelling from Dublin to Connemara, the Wild Atlantic Method and extra…all in our campervan.

Why Eire in a Campervan?

Since residing in Bulgaria, we’ve been travelling round Europe loads. So, when it got here to choosing the nation to go to with Indie Campers, we selected Eire – someplace we’d by no means been! It turned out to be an ideal choice.

Eire is a superb selection for a campervan for two most important causes.

1. The price of lodging within the nation is kind of excessive (sleeping in your campervan saves that price).
2. You’re in a position to get offtrack and see areas of the nation that you just in all probability wouldn’t in any other case.

The Campervan (Mannequin, Specs & Price)

Choosing up the van was a easy course of. We took a taxi from the middle of Dublin to the rental space (north of the town) and from there, we got the complete rundown by the staff.

They answered any questions we had, gave us a full clarification, and we checked all of the “extras” we had requested have been there.

There’s additionally a field of things that earlier individuals have left behind on the finish of their journeys. That is nice when you don’t need to purchase a giant factor of salt and pepper, hand cleaning soap, paper towel, and so forth. Then on the finish of your roadtrip, go away behind the gadgets you’re completed with.

The Mannequin

We went with the Energetic Lengthy mannequin with Indie Campers and it was an ideal match for our 10-day journey.

We actually appreciated how every thing was “mounted”, slightly than transportable – which we skilled with our earlier campervan rental in Portugal. With the Energetic Lengthy, it had a set mattress, fuel range, fridge, and a rest room as nicely.

There was an ideal seating space with a desk, and the 2 entrance seats swiveled round to provide us extra space inside. There was additionally a ton of cabinet house too which was very nice to have.

However, my favorite facet needed to be the heating! We rented on the finish of September and into October, so we had some cool nights. Turning on the built-in fuel heating made the van heat up very quickly.

The compact kitchen had every thing we wanted to prepare dinner on the go, together with a fuel range, sink, and fridge. We loved waking up and making espresso and matcha! We did prepare dinner a few meals, however discovered ourselves having fun with the pubs within the evenings. 😉

There’s additionally a retractable awning, so you possibly can benefit from the van comfortably whether or not it’s raining or sunny exterior.

Each rental comes with roadside help, 24/7 help, and starter kits for cooking and cleansing – so you possibly can choose up the keys and hit the street straight away.  

The Specs

Initially, we have been a little bit bit hesitant driving a campervan in Eire. Everybody warned us that “the roads are SO slim, having a van is tough”. And, they drive on the lefthand facet of the street (we lived in Grenada, in order that was simple for Nick).

However, in actuality, the driving was simple! The roads have been undoubtedly vast sufficient, we had no points in any respect.

The scale of the van have been nice:
Size 6.2m (20′4″)
Width 2m (6′7″)
Top 2.7m (8′10″)

We have been additionally hoping for a more moderen van and ended up with an computerized, 2025 Pilote diesel, which ran very well. 

The campervan had a 120L (32gal) tank for contemporary water, and a 90L (24gal) tank for gray water, which was ample for us. A 220V cable for plugging in and charging the backup battery was additionally included.

Add-Ons

Indie Campers has some gadgets which you can add on to your rental, resembling fuel cylinders, bicycles, bedding package, and extra. We opted for a small coal BBQ, an outside desk and chairs, the bedding package, chemical tabs (for the bathroom), and fuel cylinders.

We forgot to ask for the towel package, however fortunately we had our personal tub towels with us.

We went by only one fuel cylinder throughout our 10 day journey. That was with heating the van every night time (all by the night time), making espresso every day on the range, frying up 2 meals, and having simply 2 showers.

Since we have been in Eire in cooler climate, we solely actually used the skin desk and chairs a few instances. However, I extremely suggest including that on, because it provides you extra outside residing house.

The Price

The price of the rental varies relying on which era of yr you hire (excessive season vs. off-season), how lengthy you hire for, and what campervan mannequin you hire. 

The Energetic Lengthy mannequin that we rented with Indie Campers prices round $180 per day in September (when you hire for 10 days). The add-ons (just like the desk and chairs) are charged on high of that.

For the campsites, when you wild camp then it’s free. We didn’t discover there have been as many choices for wild tenting in Eire as different locations. The price of a campsite with electrical energy, showers, bathrooms, and dumping of gray water and chemical bathrooms was between €35 – €46 per night time.

Suggestions for Travelling Eire by Campervan

1. Inventory Up on Provides

Earlier than setting off, be sure to have every thing you want – chemical substances for the bathroom, propane for the fuel range, coal for the BBQ, bathroom paper, and so forth.

We didn’t find yourself needing it, but it surely made us really feel good to know we had additional if wanted for these chilly nights. We additionally received additional chemical bathroom tablets.

The fridge within the Energetic Lengthy mannequin was a superb dimension, so we stocked up on some meals forward of time. Going to supermarkets (whereas looking for parking) isn’t one of the best ways to spend your vacation. Get every thing without delay and you then’re all set!

A number of the campsites we have been at provided wifi as nicely, however that doesn’t assist if you’re on the street.

4. Familiarize Your self with the Performance of the Van
