Continental tyres keep the ‘Vantastic Family’ rolling safely

Continental Tyres has partnered with the Keenaghan family, otherwise known as the ‘Vantastic Family’, who share their adventures in their own converted camper van on social media (@ourvantasticfamily on Instagram).

Parents Lisa and Oliver with their children Chloe (9), Charlotte (6), and Frankie (5) are the owners of Mack, their Volkswagen Crafter camper van that they converted themselves, doing all of the design and fit out work.

The Keenaghans are part of a growing community of ‘van life’ adventurers who chart their travels across Ireland and further afield across Europe for a burgeoning audience online.

They paid a visit to their local Best Drive by Continental to have their camper fitted with Vanco Contact All Season tyres.

Tom Dennigan of Continental Tyres Ireland said: “Lisa, Oliver and family have truly answered the call of the open road and it is very interesting to follow their adventures on their social media. We are delighted to partner with them and provide a set of our Vanco Contact All Season tyres to ensure Mack is well prepared for clocking up the kilometres.

“The All Season mention in the name of these tyres means that they are ideal for the climate that we face in Ireland, never too hot and never too cold, they have been specially developed to provide the best performance on wet or dry roads in a temperate climate where rain is never too far away.”

Lisa Keenaghan from the Vantastic Family said: “We are thrilled with the partnership with Continental. Our top priority before hitting the road with the family for an adventure in Mack is always safety and in particular for a vehicle such as our converted VW Crafter, with the extra weight from the fit out, good tyres with the right spec are an absolute ‘must have’ as they are the vehicle’s only contact point with the road.

“We clock up more than 10,000kms travelling each year, on all types of roads and in all weathers, so you need to be sure that the vehicle is fitted with the correct tyres that guarantee that you can safely stop when you need to.”
