RecommendationsPerfect vintage rig for a retro adventure with your friends, kids or family. Relive your childhood or just show your kids how it used to be done. We've worked hard to keep it original and preserve the classic 70s feel of the entire experience.We've toured Vancouver Island, the BC Interior, Coast to Coast BC to ON and the ON cottage country plenty of times in her and she is really a gorgeous girl, treat her like you would treat your grandma please! Other things to noteIt's a vintage van, so be understanding of that. Everything works and she's inspected, fixed and nursed back to amazing shape, but she still drives like a 70s motorhome! Not fast but safe and reliable.The AC is in the driving cabin, not in the living area.Please make sure to warm up the van's engine properly, before leaving the camping spot. It is an oldy and needs some extra love.No logging roads, no festivals without permission and no overloading of passengers. Thanks for respecting our vintage van!* Please be careful when you open the back left door, the spare tire goes straight against the tail light and break the plastic! Those plastics are getting rare to find and expensive. If broken, I will deduct $100.00 from the security deposit.
* If I suspect that the renters smoked in the vehicle, I will deduct $100.00 from the security deposit.
* If I suspect that the renters had a "Furry copilots" in the Van, I will deduct $100.00 from the security deposit (we love pets, but Suzanne is a vintage beauty and her seats are delicate).
* If the renter brings back the vehicle without emptying the Grey and Black tanks (Porta-potty, etc.), I will deduct $100.00 from the Security Deposit.
* If the renter brings back the vehicle without filling up the gas tank, I will deduct the amount required to fill the gas tank from the Security Deposit.
* If the renter brings back the vehicle without cleaning the Coleman grill and butane stove (if used), I will deduct $50.00 from the Security Deposit.
N.B. We always used the portable toilet just for night "liquid" waste. Please don't use it for "solid" waste.

Hi, we are Steve and Sally, a multicultural couple from Venice/ Italy and Georgia. After we bought Suzanne, we travelled around mainland BC and Vancouver Island for a couple of years, drove 4500 Km coast to coast from BC to Ontario. Suzanne is a beast, she never let us down!

Q.Can you collect me and drop off at Toronto airport?
A.
Absolutely! We do charge an extra $50 for this service (on top of the usual 100$ delivery fee) as it requires us to be a bit more flexible if arrival and departure times change, and we need to pay airport parking fees.

Q.What toilet facilities are there in the van?
A.
There is a standard porta-potty, which can be used inside or moved outside. We consider this a backup/emergency option (liquid waste only)! Feel free to use it, but if you do please dispose of the waste (instructions provided at pick-up) before returning the van. Used, non-emptied porta-pottys will incur a 100$ extra fee.

Q.How long do handovers take?
A.
Please allow one hour to do the pre-trip handover and test drive, and 30 minutes to do the return handover.
