RecommendationsI recommend this rig to those seeking to explore all of Vancouver Island. This van tends to find itself often in Tofino as it completes the full canadian surf city experience. Check out all that the coast lines have to offer such as Union Bay, Campbell River, and Port MacNeil. Explore Sooke and Port Renfrew.
This van has been all through the United States and to the tip of the Baja Peninsula and back. It is incredibly versatile and offers renters the absolute most unique road trip experience of a lifetime.
Other things to noteThis van is incredibly unique in every way and was very carefully built and deeply loved. There will be rules pertaining to how it is driven and where it is driven, to preserve its vintage qualities and its condition. No forestry roads unfortunately. If you have never driven a manual you will not be driving this van.

What an awesome Westy! Matt was an absolute all star and easy to communicate with. The van is in great shape, drives well, and is a hell of a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to have a unique experience in a classic vehicle! Thanks Matt!

The van was perfect for 2, in very good condition. Mat was a great host and we had a perfect briefing on the van before the trip, and follow up during the trip.
Twist is the best, it’s a really fun van and if we go back on the island it will be with this van for sure.
