https://youtu.be/s5Xd5lf7g5s?si=SOqYmPl8AmsSvn6WAt the moment you can only rent "Goldie" for trips on Vancouver Island! Thank you kindly.What's included•Goose down duvets for both beds with sheets and 4 pillows.
• Towels, ear plugs, face wipes, two bathrobes and slippers
• Games, frisbee, hammock, first aid kit, books
•Two headlamps with extra batteries
• All the cooking supplies plus dishes, french press etc.
• Pretty much anything you will need for a great camping experience.
• Recommendations• The opportunities on Vancouver Island are endless. Grizzly viewing, storm watching, rain forests, hiking through wilderness or just sitting by the beach watching a sunset.
• We recommend you google the island and see what resonates with you. There is a back roads map book in the van which can help with camping and ideas of where to go and what to see.
• No matter where the road takes you we promise you will have the trip of a lifetime!Other things to noteBecause "Goldie" is a 1985 van she must be driven with a light hand. You must remember to take off ebrake and if using the awning you have to tie down in case of a wind in the night. There are many quirky things like the back door lock which needs some patience plus putting up the roof can be a challenge. Needs abit of know how and strength. "Goldie" is delightful to drive and she is maintained after every trip yet be prepared for anything and everything. Oh and waving at other VW vans.

The cutest little van. Clean with everything you need for a couple days road trip. Easy to drive and the host was great to accommodate our pickup and drop off times the best they could. Highly reccomend and can’t wait to book again next year. Couldn’t make better memories than the ones driving through the island up to Tofino.

We had an amazing time on our trip and our host was so easy to work with! The van drove extremely well and ran without a hitch. We had the best time and will be renting from these hosts again in the future :)
