Such a great van! Heaps of space and drives really well! Shower is great and has hot water. Damon is really responsive and will help you with anything you need. Would definitely book this van again if i ever come back!

We couldnt have been happier with our 2 weeks travelling around the South Island with Colin! The van itself is a great budget option with everything you could possibly need. Damon was also super helpful, friendly, communicative and a very knowledgeable mechanic, which was very reassuring (particularly with an older van). Cant thank Damon enough, thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Eggs Bacon Rocket We drove Phillip around the South Island for 3 weeks with no problems. The van was reliable, spacious and had everything you need. The shower is such an added bonus, especially when free camping. We packed a tarp which was helpful when it was raining and we were cooking as there is no awning. Damon was lovely to deal with and was always available to answer any questions. Would recommend!

I would recommend hiring this van to everyone who is looking to have a reliable, comfortable journey around the South Island. Colin has everything you need (except shower) to make the holiday enjoyable and carefree. With a high roof you can stand up inside and not be cramped over all the time. Damon is excellent to deal with. Super friendly and helpful with no issues. If you want a carefree, relaxing holiday hire Colin de camper

To be kind and constructive !!! The van did not measure up. As van owners we expected everything to be usable.Damon knew that there were things wrong and he just laughed. The fridge did not lock and had to be taped up. The awning was "Suspect" No plug in the bathroom basin. Bathroom window bolted up. ( We would never have leased a van with no bathroom ventilation. ) The basics. !!! No dishcloth or any sort of cleaning cloths. I asked for towels and got 2 ratty old beach towels. The frying pan was inadequate for 2 let alone 4 people. It seemed to us that it was cobbled together at low cost to make money with no thought for users.With very little cost and a trip to k mart the deal could be different!!!!! We would not recommend and would not hire again. The bed and bedding were great!!!!!!!

I hired Graeme DCamper for a trip from Christchurch down to Queenstown and it was hands down one of the best ways to see New Zealand. The van was reliable, comfortable and set up perfectly for both free and paid campsites along the way. We stayed in a mix of freedom camping spots and holiday parks. Waking up to views of snow capped mountains with the sun hitting the peaks was unreal. Parking up next to a creek or lake with nothing but fresh air and silence made the whole trip feel epic. Graeme DCamper had everything we needed so we could pull up anywhere and feel at home. If you want an easy way to explore the South Island at your own pace, Graeme DCamper is the way to do it. I would absolutely hire him again for another NZ adventure.

We had a great time in the south island, and Philip was a reliable companion! Having access to a bathroom when it was cold or rainy outside was wonderful, and the included blanket was plenty warm. It was nice to have a place to cook. The van never gave us any problems, and was good on gas mileage. It struggled up hills a little, but I got acquainted with the O/D off button or shifted into 2nd gear and then it wasn't a problem. Great van, great communication from Damon, and a wonderful experience overall! 10/10

Great little van that ran and handled well on the open road and the twisty roads of the Banks Peninsula. Perfect for two people. The small space is more suited to shorter and smaller people. The van provided all that we needed for our fully self-contained week travelling.

Had an awesome time exploring in Philip! Damons van was super roomy, really comfy, and had everything we needed. Easy to drive, well set up, and perfect for a few days of adventure. Highly recommend!
