Stunning, eye-catching van that was really cool to drive and got loads of attention. Came with camping chairs, windscreen cover for privacy, mattress for the pop top and roll out bed. Angela was excellent at communicating and always there to help.
There were a few things that weren't available / working, which was quite inconvenient so I can't give it 5 stars but overall it was a decent van.
Things to note, there is no air con in the van, so driving 3 hours during a heatwave was VERY uncomfortable.
The passenger window control on the driver's side was not working (which was pointed out to me on handover day) so I couldn't operate it while I was driving.
There is a phone charger in the front, but it's only for USB-C so I wasn't able to plug in (the lead was coming out of the air vent so you can't access wherever it's plugged into to change the cable).
There's no apple CarPlay or built in satnav, so you'll have to follow your phone (and hope the battery doesn't run out if you can't plug it in).
There was an option to connect to bluetooth on the screen settings but my phone couldn't pick it up.
The fridge was pretty useless in the heat and a bit smelly, although the freezer compartment was quite good (not frozen, but it was cold).
The water bottle under the sink was the wrong size for the hose attachment so I wasn't able to connect it to the tap - Angela said she put the wrong bottle under there.
The pop top bed was only just long enough for me, at 5'6" with my feet right at the end and my head at the top of the ledge. Other campers I've stayed in have a sliding hatch to enclose the roof section to give you more lying space for your pillows, but this didn't have that.
The USB port in the back was not working (Angela mentioned this on handover) so I was supplied with 2 power banks instead, which was fine for me on my own, but would've struggled if there were more people with me.
The heater didn't work as the leisure battery was low/flat - I reported this to Angela and she said she'd just replaced it so maybe a loose connection somewhere.
So yes it was a very cool (hot!) van to drive and a real head turner, but a few annoying things broken on it were quite inconvenient. Angela is aware of all the above things that weren't working and said she'd get them sorted so hopefully will be sorted for the next people.
Great communication and very quick to respond to questions. Excellent handover.
