We took Dave to Scotland for 2 weeks and it was the time of our lives. The owner Mel made the whole of difference, in my experience of hiring vans/cars you know there are always potential issues around every corner but having someone that can promptly help and be friendly makes such a difference. The campervan was comfortable, the bed was very large, the kitchen had everything you needed, the little fairy lights made it very cozy at night and we managed to get some insane views as you can see from the pictures. We'll never forget this holiday June 2025

This was the first time going on a trip in a camper van and I have to say it's not gonna be the last one. The handover of Dave was flawless, we unpacked and headed to Scotland in a matter of minutes while our car waited safely in Melanie's parking lot. Being the first experience for us there were some small hickups but Melanie was in constant contact and helped us with ideas. With a bit of on-line research you will eventually find absolutely all the answers to potential questions. There is a learning curve but once passed you will definitely feel like home. There is a surprising amount of storage, a gas stove and hob, a small kitchen sink and all the amenities one would need in a bathroom to feel civilised even while wild camping. The bed is very big and comfortable and I say this from a hight of 193cm while my wife is 183. 10/10 would recommend and hope to see Dave again. August 2024

Hiring 'Dave' was an exciting weekend for us, as we're thinking of buying similar in a couple of years. Mel made the whole process really easy, and she tried to think of everything to make our weekend special. The handover was quick and smooth and we were on the road in no time. The van had been thoroughly cleaned, was full of fuel, and drove well as we headed down the A1 to Rutland Water. Having hired smaller VW vans previously, it was a joy sleeping in Dave's king size bed conversion. Having full facilities on the van ensured no cold night time trips to a nearby toilet. The van was well equipped and the conversion well thought out, plenty of storage space and pretty much all you need for being self sufficient for a few days. Mel was on hand to assist when we had a couple of questions about electrics etc. - much appreciated! Our last night was a stay over at Tan Hill Inn, ideal for a pub car park/meal stopover (photo attached). The van was warm and cosy in both our locations. Hand over at the end was easy, Mel was keen to hear where we'd been and of small suggestions for future improvements (eg blackout blinds). Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Dave as a van and Mel as owner. Thank you so much! July 2024
