For everything I was looking for, my experience with this camper and the host exceeded what I was hoping for. The host, Darryl, really goes above and beyond with providing a comfortable and convenient stay. Although I used my own bedding simply because I wanted my own creature comforts, he had pillows and bedding ready to go, multiple charging cords for multiple devices, a stove, propane, full sets of dishware, utensils, and even spices for your meals. Additionally, Darryl was very flexible and great with communication.My wants were for a comfortable, warm, yet cool, and private space while I joined a friend and her family camping. As a single Mom, I was solo during this trip, and I honestly had one of the best sleeps I have had in months (10 hours!) The fan above the bed helped keep the van cool, even as the sun beat down during the day, and the power supply never went below 93%. I felt safe, secure, and also appreciated the blackout curtains. As a BC mainland local, I'll be looking to rent this camper van again in the future.

We had a great weekend in Justin’s trailer. It was perfectly equipped with everything we needed! We will definitely plan to rent it again.

We had the trip of a lifetime with Gus! We drove around BC and explored many provincial parks. Driving Gus was comfortable... similar to driving a truck. The solar powered fridge/freezer combo along with hotplate, and fan was perfect. It allowed us to stay cool when sleeping, well fed, keep our phones charged and gave us freedom to explore and stay in a variety of parks without needing power hookups. Alan and Wes were also very kind, helpful and easygoing. We would happily rent Gus for another adventure in the future.
