We had such an enjoyable experience with Casual Caravans! The van had everything we needed. Best sleeps 😃. Sheldon went out of his way to make sure our trip was successful. We would definitely recommend this company!

Sheldon is a great host! He was real easy to communicate with, and the van had everything I needed for a great 7 day stay. A comfortable bed, a kitchen with indoor/outdoor cooking, compost toilet, 2 swiffel seats and a table for inside the van, an outdoor hot/cold shower and outside seating as well. The Ford Transit has a high roof, so you can stand upright inside the van).
Highly recommended campervan rental. I would definitely book again and then for a longer stay. Had a great time touring around Nova Scotia. Go whalewatching on Brier Island and visit Meat Cove (cabot trail). No cell Service there, so get a map of the trail. (Don't worry, you can't het lost there..). Also visit Truro and Bear river!

Thanks so much, Bianca! You were one of the most fun bookings of the year! I am so glad to hear the van did you well, coming all the way from the Netherlands. Your energy and adventures were so fun! Hope we can see you again in the future

Highly reccomend trying this company out!

Casual’s answer

Thanks so much for the awesome review! So glad you loved the Vintage Sprinter and got to explore so much of the East Coast in it. Happy to hear iOverlander worked out too — it’s a game changer for finding those hidden camping spots. Appreciate you choosing us for your trip, and we’d love to see you back out here for another adventure anytime! 🚐✨

All I can say is WOW! This was an experience of a lifetime, all thanks to this van! It was the perfect mix of simple and affordable, but it had more than i needed. This van became my home while i crossed 2 provinces. It drove perfect, and left me with peace of mind when I was in very remote locations, but it also got me through cities and busy tourist attractions. It was the perfect van for every situation. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Plus the portable toilet and the portable shower, made even the most remote locations feel as comfortable as the bed. Sheldon and Casual Caravans were SO easy to work with, they had solutions and options for any issues I ran into.

Casual’s answer

Thank you so much, Andrew! You were such a pleasure to work with, and I can’t say enough good things. I hope the van treated you well and that your trip was truly once-in-a-lifetime — here’s hoping more people get to experience such an amazing journey.

We rented one of the Ford Transits for two weeks to tour and cycle around the Maritimes. The van was great! There was a locking mechanism for our road bikes in the van. It had everything we needed and everything worked perfectly. It had hot water, outdoor shower, heater and more. Sheldon was super responsive and accommodating from booking right through to the end of the trip. We would definitely book through them again and would recommend for anyone wanted to travel with the flexibility of an adventure van!

Casual’s answer

Thanks so much, Carolyn! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great two-week adventure cycling around the Maritimes. So glad the van had everything you needed and that the bike setup worked out perfectly. Good luck with your van build — we hope ours gave you a few ideas! We’d love to have you back for another flexible adventure at any time. Have an amazing fall!!

Sheldon made this an absolutely frictionless process, picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Provide a super clean and well appointed camper including two amazing bikes secured easily under the super comfy bed. Will be back.

Casual’s answer

Thanks so much, John, for the kind words. We were so stoked the bikes worked out! Hopefully, we can see you again in the future! Have a wonderful fall!

We loved our rental! I took my son on a camping trip that he'll remember forever. I think we've just started an annual tradition. This van has everything you need for an adventure big or small. The bed and bedding was so comfortable. To have a shower, running water, lights, charging abilities, stove, outdoor table and chairs etc. was a luxury and so fun! We didn't want the trip to end. Sheldon was really great to communicate with and very helpful with the booking process. Can't wait for our next trip! Thanks Casual Caravans.

The van we had was in great condition and the interior design was well thought-out. The owners were so friendly and walked us through all the features before our trip. The van itself was easy to drive and well-maintained. Overall a great experience!

We just came back from a 9 day trip on Nova Scotia and PEI using one of Casual Caravans vans. We had an amazing experience with the company. They were always quick to reply to my every question and communicate effectively even before I booked the van and throughout the whole process.

Casual’s answer

Thank you so much, Liliana and Ryan! We were so stoked you could use the van. Your words mean so much as we put so much effort into making our campers functional, practical, and user-friendly for any length of trip. We'd love to have you back someday. Have an absolutely amazing rest of your summer.
