Communicative, Flexible, and Thoughtful
Keira is quick to reply, provides informative walkthroughs, and accommodates special requests. She also went above and beyond by mailing a forgotten wallet and offering travel suggestions.
Easy to Drive, Fully Equipped
The van is easy to drive and comfortable to live in, praised for its spaciousness for two. It features solar panels for lighting, a cold refrigerator, and a working stove. Guests also enjoyed the comfortable bed and included amenities like games.

5.0My experience with the campervan was wonderful, but the review is for the host. Keira went out of her way to make our trip the best it could be. I really think our experience would have been much different if it weren't for Keira's communication, flexibility, and kindness. Thank you and we can't wait to get back to Vancouver Island.

5.0We rented Keira’s Big Black Campervan for 5 nights in Tofino and had a blast! This was our first time traveling with a “home on wheels” and it was such an easy, stress free way to go. The van is really spacious for two people and the bed is super comfortable! We really appreciated all the extra touches like cards, crib board and frisbee, which we forgot to bring. Thanks Keira for sharing your campervan with us. We will definitely rent her again!

5.0The campervan was awesome! We were surprised that even though we camped at a provincial campground, we still had access to lighting, a cold refrigerator and working stove, all because of the amazing solar panels installed on the van. The bed was very comfy, and the van contained all the necessary plus additional supplies too. Keira was great, and very quick to respond to any communications. We would definitely rent the campervan again.

Frequently asked questions
Q.
Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the van easily?
A.
I will supply you with a comprehensive list for operating the van, and everything in the van for your trip, as well as walking you through anything you'd like help with during the key handover. No need to stress!
Q.
What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
My current schedule allows me to be quite flexible with pick and drop off times. I know flights and ferries get delayed so again, no need to stress! I can accommodate a changing schedule, just keep me updated :)
Q.
What is supplied for making coffee?
A.
A critical question! I supply a pour over coffee setup. Perfect for anyone from the low maintenance coffee drinker to the coffee enthusiast. There is not a coffee grinder, but there is a magic bullet that can be used in a pinch. Please supply your own pre-ground beans!
Q.
How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?
A.
The house batteries automatically charge with solar and while driving keeping the batteries topped up. If you are set up in the shade and not doing any driving, it may be necessary to charge the batteries with shore power/AC power. I supply a shore power adapter and extension cord to allow you to charge the house batteries via a standard outlet if needed. The van has a large fresh water tank, so no need for water hookup. Sewage hookup not applicable.
