    it was perfect! we had a great getaway. Pancake was a good choice. it has plenty of storage. they have a place for everything. bed was very comfy, complete with blanket, duvet and pillows. It also has complete cooking wares, utensils, plates and glasses. you basically just have to bring your clothes and food to cook and viola, you're ready to go! worry nothing with Pancake, get her and start making memories.

    awesome motorhome, easy to drive and maneuver, plenty of privacy and space for 2 adults and 2 children, everything was available and had its own space in the vehicle and the facilities easy to maintain for 1st timers, great communication with the owners from pick up to drop off... highly recommend

    We were first time camper van novices and found the hole process quite easy. The van drove very well and everything in it was easy to sort out. We had a great time
