About Matt Cairns

Located in Vancouver, B.C. this 1984 VW Vanagon Westfalia has been in the family since October 2019. We have been working with IB Motors in Vancouver to ensure everything is well maintained. Over the coming years we hope to complete a full restoration and continue to improve every year.

Memories made on trips with Matt Cairns's RVs

Matt was super easy to work with and very thorough. Excellent communication and able to answer any of our questions. The Westie was well equipped and easy to operate and was in great working order. Setting up the beds and kitchen was also easy and everything worked great. It sure doesn't go fast up hills but we had a really beautiful trip and would totally recommend this rental!

The RV itself was great, everything worked really well and Matt provided anything that was lacking. The Westy ran really well and Matt made sure it came with a full tank of gas and a full tank of propane.

Matt was so very accommodating with meeting times and location.
He made sure that I knew everything about the Westy and was comfortable driving it.
The Van itself ran really smoothly and was reliable during my 10 days with it.
Very sad to see it go and will definitely rent again next time in Vancouver.

Absolutely amazing trip! We literally went everywhere! This Westie was home for 10 days and it was perfect! Took on every road beautifully and was perfect for sleeping! Would highly recommend this to all!!

My boyfriend and I took the Westy for a week long road trip through the Rocky Mountains! Matt was super helpful in getting us ready for our trip and thought of extra things we might need to make our trip more comfortable - he even included a rain fly to keep us dry for when the pop top was up!

My best friend and I took Westy to Penticton, BC for the weekend, we had an absolute blast!! Matt and his wife were great! They ran us through a very detailed orientation and were flexible with drop off times. They were incredibly accommodating and easy to communicate with. The van was clean and had all of the necessary camping essentials. It was a really wonderful way to spend the weekend. I would definitely recommend this vehicle if you're looking for a nostalgic camping experience!

From the get go, Matt was a pleasure to communicate with! He was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. The Westie was very comfortable. Like an old girl, her gas and brake were not as responsive as I was used to in my Dodge Caravan, but it was my first time driving a 1984 Westphalia. Mechanically it worked fine, and we had zero problems. We loved the experience, felt great to take our time, have all the room, and everything so self contained at the campground. Matt included things that made our trip more comfortable - went the extra mile, in my opinion. I felt reassured that Matt was there to answer if I gave him a call, and even Roadside assistance was included. I highly recommend Matt and his excellent Westie!
