As 3 adults we had a fantastic 10 days in the Outer Hebrides cycling the Hebridean Way.
The van was good for this because there was no mileage restriction (Scotland is a long way from the Barnsley pickup). It's 6m length kept ferry fares down, they double beyond 6m on CalMac. There was a 2 place bike rack included which worked well and is not included in the Caledonian MacBrayne length calculation.
At 6m the van is compact, but we did ok. We left the rear double bed up during the day and just moved bags to the front at night to sleep. The front bed is best for a smaller person.
Don't be put off that the van is 13 years old, it's has been well looked after and has low mileage.
Roma and her partner were very helpful at pickup and drop of and with questions in between. They kindly gave us some gifts in the fridge on pick up.
We spent most nights at campsites with electric hookup which meant the 13 amp sockets could be used, usb charging was possible. We also showered exclusively at the campsites rather that the tiny bathroom.
A couple of niggles, the electric hookup cable into the van was quite stiff but worked. There is only one usable seat belt behind the driver and that was quite stiff too. As there will be a max of 3 people that is ok.
Lots of extras in the van equipment: levelling ramps, clothes line and pegs, awning and 2 seats to sit out. New cooking pots.
The Gobooney system is good with options for insurance and thorough check out and check in lists.
Thank you Roma for making our trip possible.

Thank you very much for your opinion, and I invite you again. And the electric cable is unfortunately designed for operating a camper. Best regards.
Roma.
