We had a great experience travelling with “Dave”! Below we detail out experience travelling with this converted campervan.
**Highlights:**
- The king-size bed is plenty spacious. I’m 195cm tall and slept comfortably.
- The van has plenty of power and was able to handle steep 25% inclines.
- The gas oven is fantastic, we enjoyed delicious pizzas and quiches.
- The fridge works well and keeps everything cool. There is even a small freezer compartment.
- The toilet and shower with hot water are a real luxury.
- Heating works well, even though it doesn’t blow directly on the windows. In practice, this wasn’t an issue thanks to the window defroster.
- Comfortable seats and plenty of kitchen utensils.
- The many windows made it feel very spacious, even when we stayed in when it rained.
- Communication with Melanie was excellent. She’s kind, thoughtful, and welcomed us with a cup of tea – it felt very warm and personal.
**Things to be aware of:**
- Upon arrival, the overflow tray under the chemical toilet was full of urine. We had to clean it ourselves.
- One rear tyre was flat due to a loose valve, but this was fixed after noticing and before we continued our journey.
- I noticed the front tyres were worn before departure but didn’t mention it at the time. Later during the trip I told Melanie, and she promised to replace them right after our return – a very reassuring response.
- There is no gray waste tank. The water used in the sink and shower flows directly onto the ground.
**Tip for future renters:**
- Double-check that the front tyres have been replaced and inspect the toilet setup before heading off.
- Be sure to bring a sleeping mask to ensure a good night's sleep.
**Overall impression:**
“Dave” may be a bit cluttered in layout, but that adds to its charm. It’s well-equipped, comfortable, and reliable. Melanie’s care and responsiveness made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cosy and capable campervan getaway!
