⚓️ East Coast Couple Retreat 3 🏕

I camped with my 12 year old daughter for just over a week. This camper van was perfect. We are frequent campers with our own pop up camper, so we have our camping systems dialed in and our expectations are high. Driving: this van drives like a comfortable truck. The seats are nice for long drives, gas mileage is good, rear camera is great to have. It’s small enough to fit in standard size parking spots, even in city situations. Camping: Very comfortable. This van has everything you need- even a few things I hadn’t thought about in my own set up. The solar provides more power than you need- even on consecutive rainy days. Even though it is packed with essentials, there is plenty of room for luggage and groceries. The on demand faucet and water tank are great to have. I’m suspicious of camp refrigerators staying cold enough to keep food safe, so I brought a thermometer- it stayed the programmed temp for the entire trip. Sleeping: The van came with bedding that was appropriate for the weather. That combined with the overhead fan kept us at a great sleeping temp. The mattress is memory foam and more comfortable than most camper mattresses. The bed size worked for my daughter and I, but a tall person would not be able to fully extend their legs in this bed. Communication: the owners were easy to book with, gave a great walk through and were prompt in answering our questions while we had the van. Tip: Many camping areas in Nova Scotia have poor cell service. We found that reception was much better if we kept phones in the cab of the van, probably due to the extra insulation in the rear. Nova Scotia is a great place for road tripping, and this camper van made it super easy.

I really loved that we didn’t have to worry about the limitations of mileage. No daily limit and no prepaid mileage purchase. My daughter and I enjoyed driving to PEI,Cabot trail and Lunenburg.

Great adventure! We were impressed with the cleanliness and ease of operation with this conversion van, Dean is super helpful and was very flexible with pickup and drop off. We’re looking forward to renting from his company again!
