It was a very nice experience with the RV as well as the host. Everything went so well: communication was smooth, recommendations as for the campgrounds were helpful, we enjoyed travelling around the Vancouver island in this van. It is equipped in everything that is needed. Thank you for making out holidays so beautiful !

Traveled to Vancouver island with my sister for the first time and rented this van. Great experience from the start - the owners gave us tons of great recommendations around the island and the communication was clear. Easy pick up and drop off. We drove out to Tofino for a few nights and then stayed in Strathcona. The van was great and had everything we needed to camp for the week. Would definitely recommend!

The van was perfect for our weekend, it's very cozy and has everything you need! Reiner was a pleasure to deal with and we'd definitely rent the van again!

Reiner was a great host throughout the entire experience. He was positive, encouraging and helpful in the pre-trip experience and recommended me to BC Provincial Campgrounds in one of our conversations. The van itself very comfortable. I enjoyed the setup of the van with the bug screen curtain at the side and back doors. The mattress was super comfortable as well as was the duvet comforter. Everything needed for a great camping experience was provided. I felt very safe both on and off the road. During the trip, Reiner was very accessible for questions providing me with multiple options to get in touch with him. He was always gracious, friendly, positive, and helpful. He answered technical questions in a way I could understand (with photos). In all of it he put the camper’s experience first. I would definitely rent the van from them again. They were great hosts in the care they put into the van, for a great van camping experience!

Both the van and hosts were amazing ! The van is exactly as described and has everything you could need plus more! Reiner and his brother were both amazing to rent from, and even with a slight hiccup during the trip, they were responsive and made resolving the issue and helping us top priority. I highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the Island!
