"DAVE" – Ideal 2 berth getaway Campervan

View this text in English(GB)

Excellent thorough handover ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The trip took us to Carfest at Silverstone. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole trip with Dave, he had everything we needed. The size, cleanliness, shower and toilet, comfortable bed and the sound of the rain outside, knowing we were cosy inside was therapeutic. Thank you team Dave 👌🏼 September 2026

"Dave" was a great choice for the walking trip and music festival we went to. Dave does have a few quirks but once you get used to them he's spot on. Mel was super helpful and responded to all our queries really quickly. The bed is really big and perfect if you're tall. The sink, fridge and gas hob also really came in handy. We used the van off grid for three nights in a row. We managed to make the water and leisure battery power last the whole time, but we were quite sparing with it- we only used the power for the light on the toilet, the fridge and the water pump. There were a few minor things that needed a bit of maintenance but Mel mentioned they were going to be fixed before the next people picked up the van. We would definitely use Dave again for similar trips. September 2026

We absolutely loved our holiday, driving around the Scottish Highlands and Islands and "Dave" looked after us very well! The bed is very comfortable and the cooking and hygiene facilities perfectly fine for 12 days on the road and so convenient for parking up at some of the most beautiful places overnight and enjoying some very scenic breakfasts. Melanie and Keith were very friendly and knowledgeable about their van. They responded very quickly to any questions we had and handover was made very smooth and efficient. Overall, we would definitely recommend "Dave", particularly if you are a first time motorhome driver (as we were). He has everything you need to have an enjoyable and safe trip and handles very well.

'Dave' is everything you need for a campervan holiday. He's confy and great to drive. These are the essential qualities and I didn't realise they were until I holidayed with 'Dave' and my elderly dog. Mel and Keith are warm, friendly people who really want you to have the best time in their van. I loved how there were items stored in the van I wouldn't have thought of bringing. I hope to hire 'Dave' again for more adventures. September 2025

We took Dave up to Scotland, he was better then our expectations. Loved every minutes what we've been spent together with him. Nice and clean campervan, owners are very friendly, highly recommended! Balazs & Tia !) September 2025

We have nothing but excellent things to say about our experience renting 'Dave' the van from Melanie. The handover was straightforward and covered all important information and details. The van itself was great to drive. Everything in the van is in excellent condition. Setting the bed up to sleep is super easy and we both slept really well. It's the first time we've rented a van and would definitely do it again, as long as 'Dave' is available. 10/10 would recommend!! August 2025

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! August 2025
