    Great van for our weekend trip to Coromandal. The van itself was extremely easy to drive, and it handled well on uphill roads. Great on Fuel. The solar panels and equipment in the van made life so easy and simple, and were very well set up. David was easy to communicate with for pick up, and drop off. Highly recommend this van for your next adventure.

    Such a nice van to drive, had everything we needed to get away with only a carry-on bag. The little fridge fitted quite a bit, and we never ran out of power even with at least one of our phone on charge most of the time.

    Exactly what we needed while attending Te Matatini in New Plymouth. Dave was very responsive and friendly with comms and explained how everything in the van worked and was also clean and tidy. Thanks Dave!
