    It was a great trip, the van was great for what we needed. The fuel efficiency is great. The communication with Steph was great, the convenience of picking it up at Ashburton was also great. Overall very pleased.

    Super nice owners who helped where they could. The van is in great mechanical shape and was fun to drive. it has a great awning and is well insulated. It also has an electric fan for great ventilation The actual living conditions are pretty rough. The bed is not long enough for someone over 5 feet 6 inches. They have constructed some sort of add on but it falls to the ground immediately so sleeping was difficult. The stove top is connected to Propane (LPG) and burst into flames the first time we used it so that was scary. The fridge also runs off of propane so it is unusable unless it is outside of the van. After the stove incident, we didn't want to use the fridge either. It was a bummer because it has a lot of potential, but none of the stuff really worked. Again, super nice folks but the van didn't meet expectations.

    Vanessa, the Eternal Traveler Our first campervan adventure wasnt in a futuristic model but in Vanessa, a seasoned traveler from 2005 with more stories than a backpacker at an airport. Despite her years, she feels well cared for, road-ready, and full of character. The owners introduced her like an old friendwith patience, detail, and the promise to be there if needed. And so, we hit the road. Soon, we realized that freedom has wheels and that coffee tastes better when you wake up in the middle of nowhere. Comfortable, functional, and fully equipped for adventure, Vanessa isnt just a vanshes the perfect first love for anyone looking to fall for the road.
