Enjoy Vancouver Island’s natural beauty from our cozy camper van. Perfect for a couple looking to spend some time on the sea side, in the woods among the cedars and mountains or by a campfire under the stars. Our van is the longest and tallest Ford Transit in production, so you won’t have to worry about ever crouching down or feeling cramped for space. It very comfortably sleeps two people or one person who likes a little extra room to stretch their legs.The van is equipped with a fridge, full running water, as well as amenities to cook both indoors or out in the fresh air. We have multiple power options with solar panels charging our in house batteries as well as the option to plug the van into shore power at many of the island’s campgrounds. We also have an optional propane based fire pit and fresh tank if you are looking to huddle up under the night sky!We hope to share with you some truly memorable experiences as we have had on this island that we love.Happy Adventuring!What's includedThe van will have fresh sheets, a duvet and plenty of pillows for a comfy sleep. We also have both electric and butane burners/grills as well as a pot and pan for both indoor and outdoor cooking.

And of course we have an electric kettle and French press for all of us who need a little caffeine in the morning or a tea before bed!RecommendationsThe island is rich with a broad spectrum of campsites, beaches and hikes that each offer very different experiences. Whether you want to surf in Tofino, fish at Campbell River, ski at Mount Washington or treat yourself to a spa day in Victoria, there’s really no end to the variety of things to do.

It was a very nice experience with the RV as well as the host. Everything went so well: communication was smooth, recommendations as for the campgrounds were helpful, we enjoyed travelling around the Vancouver island in this van. It is equipped in everything that is needed. Thank you for making out holidays so beautiful !

Traveled to Vancouver island with my sister for the first time and rented this van. Great experience from the start - the owners gave us tons of great recommendations around the island and the communication was clear. Easy pick up and drop off. We drove out to Tofino for a few nights and then stayed in Strathcona. The van was great and had everything we needed to camp for the week. Would definitely recommend!

The van was perfect for our weekend, it's very cozy and has everything you need! Reiner was a pleasure to deal with and we'd definitely rent the van again!

Reiner was a great host throughout the entire experience. He was positive, encouraging and helpful in the pre-trip experience and recommended me to BC Provincial Campgrounds in one of our conversations. The van itself very comfortable. I enjoyed the setup of the van with the bug screen curtain at the side and back doors. The mattress was super comfortable as well as was the duvet comforter. Everything needed for a great camping experience was provided. I felt very safe both on and off the road. During the trip, Reiner was very accessible for questions providing me with multiple options to get in touch with him. He was always gracious, friendly, positive, and helpful. He answered technical questions in a way I could understand (with photos). In all of it he put the camper’s experience first. I would definitely rent the van from them again. They were great hosts in the care they put into the van, for a great van camping experience!

Both the van and hosts were amazing ! The van is exactly as described and has everything you could need plus more! Reiner and his brother were both amazing to rent from, and even with a slight hiccup during the trip, they were responsive and made resolving the issue and helping us top priority. I highly recommend for anyone looking to explore the Island!
