offices, summer houses<br />
or fishing huts. Each pod<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />
CampPlus En-Suite Washrooms<br />
CampPlus’s plug and play toilet / shower unit delivers great returns<br />
THE CAMPPLUS UNIT is a<br />
compact plug and play building<br />
complete with a toilet and<br />
shower that turns any camp or<br />
glampsite into a 5 star facility.<br />
It is the missing link between a<br />
fully serviced pitch and a lodge,<br />
and increases occupancy and<br />
profitability where installed.<br />
“To keep the product<br />
affordable we keep it simple,”<br />
says designer Erik Verwaaijen.<br />
“There are only<br />
two options for<br />
most elements<br />
- Good and<br />
Excellent. On our<br />
website there is<br />
a calculator that<br />
allows customers<br />
to choose all the<br />
different options.<br />

Return on Investment<br />
Where CampPlus units are in<br />
installed instead of a toilet and<br />
shower block, the payback time<br />
is usually two to three years.<br />
“It’s hardly ever more than four<br />
years whatever the situation,”<br />
says Verwaaijen. A base unit<br />
costs around £4.950 and there<br />
is a downloadable calculator on<br />
the CampPlus website that can<br />
quickly help customers work<br />
out their likely return. Each<br />
unit is constructed with quality<br />
materials and designed with a<br />
lifetime of 10 years plus.<br />
