Kevin did such a wonderful job preparing lil Abner for us!! We loved touring Vancouver island in our stylish home on wheels so much that by the end we were looking up similar vans for sale!

The most magical time with Li'l Abner! He was so fun to drive and provided everything we needed. Then there was Kevin, just the coolest cat! He went over everything we needed to hit the road and reassured as as newbie camper van drivers. And he was always available for our questions. Cannot recommend these two highly enough.

Lil’ Abner was an absolute dream! Tons of character and absolutely zero mechanical issues. Kevin was a delight as a host and made sure we had everything we need - a true professional that took our experience seriously. Baking an apple pie in the oven after a long day of mountain biking was a highlight that won’t soon be forgotten!

We had the best time in Lil Abner, the perfect travel companion around BC! For a smaller RV it certainly has everything you need (and fits nicely in normal parking spaces)

Where to even start... We did a round trip from Vancouver to the Rockies and back and let me tell you, this roadtrip wouldn't have been the same without Li'l Abner and its owner Kevin.
