Hey, I'm Paul!

Smallfield, United Kingdom – Member since April 2024

Hi, I have owned a camper for about 10 years, ever since spending hours packing up a tent and everything else you need, spending hours on arrival setting up, when someone drove up, got out their deckchair, opened a beer and was done. I said then we need to get one of those and a few weeks later we owned our first van. We’ve had the latest one for just under 4 years now and it’s a dream. Everything you need packed in it and ready to go whenever you like. We’ve enjoyed many happy times in this van. It’s easy to drive, much like a car but a bit longer. We’ve been to many places around the UK and would like to take it abroad but that’s not so easy with our two dogs, Bailey and Nelson. We are members of Caravan and Camping and mainly use their sites, bit like a Premier Inn, you know what to expect. However lately we have also used UK pub stopover page on Facebook where you can stay over night, some ask you just to buy a drink, others like you to eat in the pub. So long as you are fairly self sufficient as generally there aren’t many facilities, it makes a good stopover on the way to a campsite. Any questions or tips and advice feel free to contact me. Kind regards Paul

Paul's communication was spot on from booking to collection and then return and very easy to deal with. The Camper has everything you need within it to enjoy your break and our 5 year old loved her first camping experience sleeping above us! The only draw back was the site would not allow us to use Paul's gazebo supplied as it was not physically attached to the van. August 2025
Response from Paul Thanks for review Martin. I've never heard of a camp site refusing a gazebo not being attached to the van.

We rented the van from Paul for the Tour de France and it was absolutely perfect. The van was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Paul was a fantastic communicator and very flexible, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. Thanks again, Paul – we'll definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommended! July 2025

Paul was an absolute delight to hire off. He was so flexible and friendly and clear at the handover. Went through everything. We took the van to dawlish and it was such a nice drive - the kids were very excited. The van did not let us down and provided a very comfortable and safe haven from the dreaded uk weather. Thank you for trusting us with the van Paul. We will definitely be in contact again. Jayne and Andy February 2025
Response from Paul Thanks Jayne, I’m glad you enjoyed it even with the rain.

Immaculate van and a lovely owner to deal with. Faultless and a brilliant intro to 'Vanlife'. THanks again, Paul. November 2024
Response from Paul Thanks for a great review Matt, glad you enjoyed it.

Our experience of Paul (and his camper!) was excellent from start to finish. Communication leading up to the collection was great and Paul was both flexible and clear with our arrangements. The camper itself was an absolute delight, very well-equipped, very comfy bed and very easy to drive. It's given us the bug to get our own one in the near future (Lottery permitting!!). Thanks very much Paul. October 2024
Response from Paul Thanks Jim, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.

The handover was great, very informative and friendly. Paul went through all the options and contents of the motor home. He said if we had any questions while we were away he would be happy to help, which was really good to know. We travelled up to Suffolk for a couple of days and it was bliss. The motorhome was so well equipped it had everything we needed. The vehicle is amazing and we got lots of compliments and positive envious comments. Very smart and clean. On our return Paul met us and asked about our experience and what we thought. Amazing! Definitely a recommended experience! August 2024
Response from Paul Thanks for the review Paul, glad you enjoyed it.

First time in a camper van and we couldn’t of ask for better! Paul’s camper was amazingly equipment for all needs, there was nothing more we could ask for! Beautiful to drive and the easiest thing in the world to set up! None of the setting up the tent then getting everything out of the car and struggling with tent pegs etc, just park and put the kettle on! Paul ran through everything beforehand so there were no concerns and satnav link perfectly to CarPlay and google maps so all very familiar! Would recommend without hesitation August 2024
Response from Paul Thanks Lloyd I'm glad you enjoyed it.

What a lovely van - fab to drive, excellently equipped and dreamy to sleep in. Would absolutely recommend- just a shame we didn't have her for longer - will hire again Paul was great to deal with, clear comms and very helpful - thanks so much August 2024
Adam Adam
Paul’s van was immaculate and very well equipped, with lots of extras to make camping easier. We found it easy to drive. Paul was helpful and easy to contact for any questions. He also allowed us to park our car on his driveway during the rental, which was very useful. Would recommend. August 2024
Laura Laura
Couldn't recommend Paul and his delightful campervan more. Paul had great, prompt communication; he was flexible and easy to deal with - making sure we had all the information we would need to make using the van a success. It was our first time in a campervan and we loved it. Paul's van had absolutely everything we needed, which took care of a lot of the planning. It was comfortable, and well kitted out. We're a family of 4 who managed perfectly well in this van. July 2024
Response from Paul Thank you Laura, really glad you enjoyed it.
Janine Janine
First time using Gaboony, but Paul made it such a great experience. Throughout the whole process Paul responded promptly and answered all my questions (even the obvious ones). The van itself was spotless, Paul provides so many items it really was a home from home. It was amazing to drive as well! I would definitely book via Paul again. Thank you for loaning us your beautiful van! July 2024

Hired the van for a weekend to test if we are going to buy one. Paul was very responsive and very accommodating. The van had everything you could want for a camping trip including the most comfortable and spacious RIB bed. If you’re looking for a van, close to Gatwick and want the most hassle free experience, this is the one for you. Thank you, Paul June 2024

Paul made the process very easy from start to finish and was very responsive. The motorhome was very nice and comfortable. We didn’t make the most of the facilities of the van but will do the next time we rent it. May 2024
