Great van! Has everything you need and great on fuel. Brandon is a great host! The stove works well when you flip the stove top the right way. We highly recommend!

Esmeralda did us well! We had the best time! The bed is more than comfy, the kitchen's got everything you need and she's great to drive with! Brandon even basically made a whole week itinerary for vancouver island. Thanks Brandon!

The van was great and communication was mostly easy. The van drives great and had no mechanical issues. My only qualm is that the stove was a little broken (without any pot stand) which made for difficult use and there aren't any curtains

Great camper. Easy to drive, comfortable bed, even for myself who is 6 foot 5/ 196cm.
Good fuel economy and easy to maneuver.
Brandon gave us some great tips for where to stop on route to Tofino and was easy to deal with in general.

Overall I had a good time staying in the van. I just don't think the 100$ cleaning fee was fair, since I found small dead flies in between the dishes and a few other things that weren't quite clean for a 100$ fee! Also the right window and door locks sometimes won't work properly.
The trip itself was great and I had a very good communication with Brandon. I just think the price was too high for the inconveniences above.
