The van was kitted out with everything you can possible think of for an awesome roadtrip around Vancouver island. The pickup was very easy and Braden was always available to contact if I ever needed to ask a question. The van itself is great to drive even on some of the more sketchy roads of the island. I would definitley recommend this van.

It was amazing, Thank you Braden! Van The Island has thought of literally EVERYTHING you would need when camping! Van was super clean. The host responded quickly to my questions whether it was before/during the trip, over outdoorsy/email/text. The self check-in/out was seamless and easy. I'd totally rent the van again.

Had the best trip around the island with Braden’s camper. The van had everything we needed and more, and Braden is super helpful and attentive. Can’t recommend the stealth caravan enough!

Would highly recommend this van. Communication re pickup was easy and helpful. The van was easy to drive and nicely sized. Everything was immaculately clean, and the van was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Even had fluffy white towels, which was such a treat while out camping. We had a fantastic time exploring the island 😊

This mini camper packs a lot of comfort into a great little package! We took it up and down the Island, from Port Renfrew to Port Alice, and would absolutely recommend it to friends. Braden is super helpful and provides loads of useful info, the check-in/out process is very easy, and the pickup location is simple to get to from the Nanaimo ferry terminal by bus.

Braden’s answer

Thanks a ton for renting the van for your trip Luke :) im glad you had a great time and the van was everything you needed.

Hi,
Was a perfect trip with this van! Bed and pillows were really confortable. The car itself is really easy to drive and is more than full equipped for everything.
Do not hesitate and go :)

We had the most amazing trip in Canada in Braden’s vehicle. The camper was speedy, reliable, and completely equipped with everything we needed and more. There were homely touches that really allowed us to settle in quickly, and the van itself drove well. We have fallen in love with Canada and we are so grateful we were able to explore this beautiful country all thanks to Braden. Thank you for making this possible, we hope to return soon!

Braden van was extremely well set up and included everything we needed for our trip from Ottawa to explore Vancouver Island and surroundings. We only had to pack our clothing which meant carry-on only for flights. Communication was excellent and information provided was accurate. We would not hesitate to rent from Braden again in the future.

Braden’s answer

Thanks for the awesome feedback Scott :) we are super glad you enjoyed your time! Come back again next year for another trip and some more figs!😅
