The Kub – Das ultimative Luxus-Wohnmobil

Diesen Text in Deutsch anzeigen

We took Kub down to the south of France, then to Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany before heading home over a 3 week period. Kub was easy to drive considering I have little experience with such a big vehicle, and was mechanically sound throughout. There are signs of wear and tear but nothing extensive or that impacted what was a wonderful experience. We did struggle a little with some of the technical aspects but Owen was always on hand to help, responding quickly to any questions we had. To be clear, nothing was particularly difficult, but if you don’t know, you don’t know. I would certainly recommend taking time when collecting to make sure you’ve understood everything. A fantastic trip in. Mai 2026

We had an excellent experience with this motorhome from start to finish. Over 5 days we covered around 1,500 miles, and I can honestly say driving the Kub was an absolute pleasure. It was incredibly easy to handle and made long journeys feel effortless. The motorhome came fully stocked with everything we needed, including all the kitchen utensils, which made life on the road really convenient. It truly felt like a home away from home. Owen, who owns and rents out the motorhome, was fantastic. He was friendly, approachable, and always easy to get hold of whenever we had a question. He even sent helpful videos to guide us through anything we needed, which made the whole experience stress-free. The sleeping setup was one of the real highlights. The over-cab bed was extremely easy to unfold and felt very secure and spacious. It comfortably sleeps two adults — I’m 6ft and had plenty of room to stretch out, which isn’t always the case in motorhomes. The mattress was supportive and made for a great night’s sleep after long days on the road. The rear double bed was equally impressive — very comfortable and perfect for a proper rest. My children absolutely loved it and slept brilliantly every night. Both sleeping areas felt well designed, cosy without being cramped, and worked perfectly for a family setup. Storage space throughout the motorhome was excellent. There was plenty of room for all our luggage, food, and day-to-day essentials without it ever feeling cluttered. The overhead cupboards, under-seat storage, and rear areas were really practical and easy to access, which made staying organised on a longer trip simple and stress-free. Considering the size of the vehicle, it was relatively economical on diesel, which was another big plus over such a long trip. Overall, I have zero complaints — everything was smooth, easy, and exactly as described. I would highly recommend both renting through Goboony and booking with Owen. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again! Mai 2026

We had a fantastic trip to the Loire Valley for a couple of weeks. Lovely motorhome, easy to drive and had everything we needed. Owen was great at communicating before and during the hire and made the whole process really easy. Already planning our next trip. Mai 2026

The Kub – The Ultimate Luxurious Motorhome? I really don’t think so. Pro’s: - Assuming you could start it, the van drove OK, provided you could stand the awful racket & squeaking. It returned reasonable MPG Cons: - Poor external condition, absolutely not as shown in photos or description on Goboony. Lots of damage to external bodywork, various pieces of trim either missing or held on with adhesive tape. Internal condition similar, habitation door flyscreen broken & secured with Sellotape, sliding bedroom door broken off of support mechanism, various doors & handles loose, drivers’ seat would not swivel to use when eating, folding shower door retaining strap screw missing allowing door to flap about when driving, cups left unwashed in the cupboard from previous rents etc, etc. The heating & hot water was at best, temperamental, at worse barely functional. The rear bed is designed to elevate via a winding mechanism to allow bikes etc to be stored in the rear garage. Despite assurances from Kub’s owner Owen to the contrary, the mechanism did not work, the bed could not be elevated & we had to partially dismantle our bikes to get them in the garage. The van is fitted with an immobiliser, designed to prevent the van from being started when the key fob is not present in the van. Unfortunately, it also randomly prevented the van from starting when it was present in the van. We only kept the van for 5 of the 30 days we had booked and paid for, before giving up & returning it. In those 5 days, the van refused to start around 8 times, the last time when we were trying to drive off of the Channel Tunnel train, causing us to hold everyone up for around 10 mins before it just decided to work again. I could continue, suffice to say this van has had a hard life. So why did we accept the van when we went to collect it? I have asked myself the same question many times over the last few weeks, but we had looked forward to this holiday for months, everything was booked, campsites, Channel Tunnel etc, routes had been planned. In short, we were desperate to go, but we should never have signed & driven off. As we had the van overnight before taking the Channel Tunnel, I felt we could sort a few things & we did. We tightened various door handles, put felt pads between cupboard doors to stop rattles, refixed the shower door retaining strap. The van was much quieter to drive the next morning when we set off. But we the rear bed could not be elevated, a pin was missing, nor did we know about the heating or the immobiliser issues at that stage. Had the situation been reversed & the shortcomings of a vehicle I owned and rented out had prevented someone from having their holiday, I would have been mortified. Did Owen appear bothered, show any regret or offer any form explanation let alone an apology when we returned the van three weeks early? No, he did not. As I see it, there only two explanations for the van being offered for rent in the condition we received it, either Owen knew very well the condition of the van & kept quiet or he genuinely believed it to be the Ultimate Luxurious Motorhome he describes it as on Goboony. If it’s the former, he’s deceitful, if it’s the latter, he’s deluded. I suggest anyone considering renting any van from any hire organisation ensure that they view & drive the vehicle prior to handing over any money. I have never posted a negative review for any holiday I have been on over the last 50 years, but my advice would be if you are looking on Goboony or anywhere else for a Motorhome to hire & you come across one with KUB in its registration, look elsewhere.

Great experience. Owen very kindly delivered the Kub to us and took us through all the details and some of his personal stories with his family on board of the motorhome. Thanks to the app and his knowledge we got all the admin sorted promptly. And off we went on a small adventure not too far, it was more about getting a first experience. The Kub was surprisingly easy to drive and despite a couple of night at -2 degrees we were warm and cosy inside. Owen was available to answer any questions and then pick it up from us at the end of our adventure. Definitely to try again in the spring. November 2025

With no experience in motorhoming whatsoever, from the get go, Owen was extremely helpful with booking and giving tips and tricks before we even arrived at the Motorhome. On handover, everything was seamless, Owen was a really friendly and approachable guy which made the experience a whole lot easier and enjoyable! He took time to go through each and every quirk on the motorhome that we would need to know about for our trip and how to use all the amenities. He answered any questions we had and using the Goboony app, the handover all in all was a breeze. We then set off on our trip with a smile and wave from Owen and told to have fun! The motorhome itself was fabulous, we headed all the way to Northern Ireland for the Golf Open with 4 guys in total and there was plenty of space. Loads of storage, super clean, and a dream to drive, was like driving a sofa, you barely notice you’re doing anything one that cruise control is on! In summary, the motorhome was perfect and exactly what we needed for all our golf clubs, food, bags and the bbq Owen provided which was made frequent appearances once we pitched up! Any issues, Owen was just a text away and would be more than happy to help answer queries. Would highly recommend the KUB to anyone thinking of booking that trip in a fancy motorhome and with Owen as the host, you’ll have nothing to worry about. Would definitely think about taking the KUB out again in the future. Many Thanks Owen! Juli 2025

Big thank you to Owen. We attended the Festival of Speed this year and Owen kindly delivered the van to the Goodwood campsite for us. The van it’s self was perfect, just what we wanted and more. Planning our 2nd trip already, would highly recommend. Tony Douglas Juli 2025

First of all, the handover from Owen was exceptional. This is the 3rd year in a row I have hired a motorhome, but the way Owen explains everything and his genuine happy manor and approach makes it all a very easy and pleasant experience. We were using the Motorhome while attending the F1 British GP, and Owen even contacted us during the first day to make sure everything was ok and was interested in our adventure. The motorhome looks superb from the outside and inside and was very easy to drive. I would highly recommend hiring and we will be looking to connect with Owen again in the future on the Kub’s availability 😊 Juli 2025

Owen was excellent with communication and amazing with any questions during our trip round the Lakes. The van was great - super easy to drive (surprisingly economical!) and a joy to be in. September 2024
