Wheelhome
Seven times Winner of "The Motorcaravan of the Year"

"Daneste III" on Suzuki Carry

   The versatile 'Daneste III' (the third generation of a similar design, and named after the members of the Wheeler family) is the perfect solution for people who want a safe, compact yet comfortable, two berth camper that is very economical to buy and run and, when called upon, can also be used and treated as a 4 seater car - including parking in a garage.
    The hob unit would normally be used inside of course, however, it has been designed so that it can be quickly removed and used out-side - weather permitting! The rest of the seats/furniture can also be removed for load carrying.

The Daneste III has won the 'Motorcaravan of the Year' - twice!

    The Daneste III is based on the latest Suzuki Carry van, unlike some other small vans the 'Carry' has a comparatively long wheelbase which allows the passengers to sit within the front and rear axles - with a bonnet out in front of the driving position, this has to be a far safer vehicle in which to travel.
 

The 'Daneste III' conversion by Wheelhome is a truly amazing design, it is the only micro camper on the market that offers a really spacious  lounge when on site, four forward facing seats for  travelling all with three point inertia reel seat belts, (meeting "Single Vehicle Approval"), genuinely comfortable seats/beds and the Porta Potti can still be used (between the kitchen units) even when the beds are down! - Not bad in a micro Motorcaravan we think!.
The secret to this achievement lies, in part, to the fact that when the rear seats are not required, when on site for example, they fold up against the walls, and hence give a large clear floor area in which to move about, they are only brought 'into play' for entertaining guests or when passengers are to be carried.

The Daneste III offers a spacious and comfortable lounge area - surely the best in it's class?

   Upon arrival at the campsite the front (cab) seats are pushed forwards and 'Dicky' seats are placed behind them to provide the main seating for relaxing,  leaving a large un-cluttered floor.

The Daneste III was declared "the best of the bunch" in a group test of micro campers carried out by Which Motorcaravan, October 2000
