The van was exactly what we needed for our family of 3 and James was great at communicating and very helpful right away when we had questions. Highly recommend this van and this host.

James was a great host. He always responded very quickly when I had questions. Pickup was easy and all went smoothly.

Camper Van review: 5/5
It was easy to drive
lots of space to walk and storage space
a rain shower head and heated water to shower with
fridge worked great and kept our food cool
the solar panels allow you to use the electricity all day without any issues
you can crawl up the latter and chill on the wooden area for a better view
Super great on gas mileage because it takes dieselTips:
Do look at the owners manual to find out where the lights are on the ceiling, you will never find it on your own
You also need to know how to turn on the water pump or the water will not run. This is another button you will never find unless you read the owners manual
If you turned off the van lights but the headlights are still on, check the doors to make sure they are shut properly.
turn on the water heater for 10minutes heat in order to have a heated 5 minute shower. The buttons to heat the water are white near the sink.
Do not press the far left button (in high shelf) to release water. This is your water reservoir and not the dirty tank.
If you are hot and want to use the AC while parked at a campsite, turn the car on and then turn the AC on using only the two center vents. The side ones will not reach the back of the van.

James’ camper van was an absolute joy to drive and stay in. The 360 cameras really made it a breeze to park and get through tight spaces. The van itself is very comfortable for 2-3 people. The water pressure is excellent. The shower was also very nice. The solar panels on this van charge the battery so well that we never needed to plug the van in and, even so, only managed to deplete the battery down to 90% at night with the fans running. A few hours in the morning and the van was already back to 100% battery.
I strongly recommend booking with James whether you’re new to RVs or a long time veteran.
