Pokey
Overview
Throw back to the 80’s in “Pokey”, a beautifully restored & updated 1984 VW Vanagon camper that sleeps 4 .
**Pokey has an automatic transmission!**
We added Pokey to our fleet to add an option with an automatic transmission. After successfully hosting an apartment with Airbnb, we decided to bring our same 5 star service to people looking for adventure along the beautiful New England Coast. From Mystic Seaport along Rhode Island’s beautiful beaches all along the Cape, we are convinced that “Pokey” will make for life long memories. The vehicle has an impeccably maintained drivetrain & a true pleasure to drive.
Imagine an earlier time rambling along sandy back roads discovering new stretches of beach & quaint spots for ice cream before heading back to the campground for a relaxing night in our spacious well appointed camper! Pokey is a wonderful 1984 Westfalia undergoing a full restoration over the winter of 2022. A full bespoke kitchen with sink, stove and fridge takes camping to the next level. An updated more powerful and newly rebuilt engine will give you plenty of trouble free miles.
