Spreading joy and love wherever he goes, Spud the Campervan is about as friendly and positive-vibes as it gets. This era of Toyota is renowned for being some of the easiest vehicles to drive that were ever made. A very nice and solid cruise around the island awaits! Spud is kitted out with everything you need to enjoy a tour of Vancouver Island. While you can enjoy the sunshine and marinate in the paradisiacal atmosphere of a couple of camp chairs with a view, you can also opt for total privacy in the comfortable bed with curtains drawn on the windows and string lights in the roof! Compact, inconspicuous, and very comfortable - Spud will have your back for your trip. Included are
1. 2-burner propane stove with 1 complimentary bottle of propane
2. Pots and pans, salad bowl, as well as dishes and silverware for two people
3. Knives and cutting board
4. Tongs, spatula and ladle
5. 2 lanterns
6. A small cooler for fresh produce or drinks
7. A 20L water jug
8. Two camp chairs
9. A large folding table
10. An emergency supplies box consisting of an air pump, fix a flat spray, jumper cables, and rudimentary first aid gearAdditionally, there is a roof top box for extra storage. Located in Victoria, but ferry or airport pickup and drop off service is optional.Please note - Spud is loved by his owners and not rated for nor permitted for travel on rough roads.
