Review summary

C

Communicative, flexible, and supportive

Keira provides excellent communication, is highly responsive, and goes above and beyond, offering recommendations, accommodating requests, and thorough walk-throughs. She handles issues (damage, forgotten items, safety cancellation) with great support.

Easy to drive and well-equipped

The van drives smoothly, runs great, and is fuel-efficient. It's spacious, clean, and features a very comfortable bed. Key amenities include solar panels for power (fridge, stove, lights), an efficient diesel heater, ample counter space, and storage.

What a great Experience for our trip as a whole. Keira was nice and easy to chat and deal with great person and the walk through was easy, with a you tube video to help once very thorough. This Van just made everything work perfect, pull over and catch first come first serve camping spots and regular camping grounds as well. Easy to pull in park and set everything up comfy bed and when it rained the last 3 days it was just nice to have the stove and fully set up kitchen with all the basics needed to get through our week ish trip.

Our host, Keira, was such a pleasure to work with. In the weeks before our arrival, she fielded many random questions promptly, and gave us recommendations regarding campgrounds and places to see. The pick-up went seamlessly, with a short but efficient walk through. The van was in excellent condition, and the layout was easy to get used to. Some of our camping locations were a bit cool, but the interior heater took the chill off very quickly. During the trip, we were responsible for damaging the cooktop, and Keira was very forgiving, telling us not to worry. Upon our return, she had already ordered and received the replacement, and trusted us to reimburse her upon the installation, which she accomplished in short order. At our drop-off, she even gave us a lift to our nearby accommodation before our departure the next day. All-in-all, our experience with Keira and her beautiful RV was exceptional.

we had this van for a full week travelling all over the island,, and it was exactly what we were hoping for! the van never let us down, and we pushed it pretty hard. the bed is super comfy, the solar panels covered all our power needs quite easily, and the no-setup on arrival to a campsite was a huge plus. we would happily consider renting the van again, and would recommend it to anyone!

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.

Hi there, My name is Keira and I'm the owner and operator of Low Tide Vans. I've been fortunate enough to spend my whole life on Vancouver Island, enjoying all of the outdoor activities that this beautiful place has to offer since a young age. Surfing, skiing, cycling, hiking and more! I originally built out a campervan for personal use, but quickly decided I wanted to share with others so they too could experience van life on Vancouver Island. As a mechanical engineer and the builder of my vans, I know them inside and out, and take great pride in every detail of the build. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have, and would love to provide trip recommendations! I look forward to hearing from you, Keira For how-to videos, go to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LowtideVans/playlists For more content, find me on Instagram: @ Low Tide. Vans
