A car-like drive and impressive capability
The Trouvaille Actif is built on quality, low mileage, good condition, second hand Ford Transit Custom Active or Limited vans.
These vans have a car-like drive and striking exterior design that will stand out from the crowd.
A spacious interior in which to recharge your batteries
A clever use of space means that we have been able to fit the widest bed possible, plus a 90 litre fridge which you will find in no other Ford Transit Custom on the market!
Even the roof bed allows for more headroom. Designed with key pivot points so that you don’t compromise that feeling of being able to stretch out, which is so important when choosing your perfect camper.
Ready for adventure anywhere
With roof rails ready to carry your sporting equipment, an external tailgate shower to hose down your muddy dog, and solar power to keep you going off-grid.
The Actif is ready for you to pursue your dreams.

"We're now back from our epic trip round Spain.
The van did us proud. We're definitely glad we upgraded the battery and we're able to manage a few days without EHU no problem. LPG wasn't a problem and we don't think we need to upgrade to a diesel heater. Quite a few places we stayed had EHU but we did a lot of cooking using LPG and used the heater a few times and the LPG tank is still over 3/4 full. TBH our van is so compact and well insulated you only need the heater on for a few minutes and the van is toasty. Also we have a low voltage electric heater we were able to use when we had EHU. I wouldn't recommend a diesel heater unless you were planning a lot of "off grid" winter camping in colder areas.
Hope this info useful for your clients. We're giving the van a good clean and then we're off to Slovenia and Croatia in April."
