Gino De Campovan – 2 Berth Ford Transit Diesel Adventure Camper

I needed a van to go away at short notice as mine had broken down (again). On a Tuesday evening I'm on goboony looking for a van to hire for Thursday for 4 days. This one popped up as it was close by. I wasn't looking for anything big, I just needed access to some facilities and somewhere to rest whilst supporting my disabled friend live her life to the fullest (in her own van). This van drives very well and has a good engine to keep up with traffic flow. The drive was very smooth and comfortable. The facilities were more than I needed but it was really good to know what was available. The owners were great at showing me how to handle the facilities as I had no prior experience with a motorhome or its equipment. I used the gas for the hob and grill, I used the toilet and water in the w/c sink. I didn't use the oven, kitchen tap/sink (hot and cold water), shower or heating (not required for bank holiday heatwave!). The owners had a couple of laminated instruction sheets for me to refer to which I read once I settled to site to assure myself I was doing things correctly. There is plenty of storage space. I was able to add a few of my ice blocks to the fridge to keep my items cool for a good 3 days. There are front window blinds to keep the cab area cool and a good sturdy table for outdoor eating. I took my own camping chair and bedding. I used my friends spare foam mattress to top the bed as it was a little hard for me (I have an existing back issue). I would really recommend these owners and this van for trips away whether off grid or hook up, it really is a super van for trips away. The owners were very helpful when I was going through booking as this was my first time and on meeting they were friendly and personable and took the time to show me how things worked until I was comfortable. There are safety features, CO2 extinguisher and fire/carbon monoxide alarm. As it was soo hot, the roof windows were a god send to keep the van cool. The toilet cassette was easy to empty as it had a handle to pull it along (no carrying required). Also very economical with fuel, I felt, we were cruising to our destination and in no rush. June 2026
