Unfortunately this was a very disappointing camper van ….very scruffy, not worth the money . October 2025
Stuart Stuart
Very easy dealing with the owner Roger - flexible, good communication and a lovely man. Roddy did what it said on the tin and kept us warm and dry during a wet festival. Excellent sized fridge! September 2025
Response from Roger Thank you Stuart for the kind words and tidy return. Heater , large fridge and loo prove to be well popular. Glad you had good experience apart from weather. Roger Poole
Chris Chris
We initially hired Roddy for a festival down in Devon but added on a couple of extra days at the start when other plans changed. Roger was very friendly and helpful with updating the booking and with the handover and return. A very well equipped van and a pleasure both to drive and stay in. August 2025
Response from Roger Chris originally booked for a Devon festival then extended for a couple of days .They collected Roddy and we had an easy hand over as they are experienced.The return was as agreed Roddy being returned clean with grey water and loo emptied. Great hirers with no issues. Roger Poole

Roger was a great host and answered all of our pre-trip queries clearly and swiftly. Handover of his wonderful van, 'Roddy,' went smoothly and everything was clearly explained to make our trip stress-free. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Roddy and would wholeheartedly recommend others to hire from Roger and enjoy their own adventures in his van. Many thanks, Roger. February 2025
Response from Roger Thank you so good when all enjoyed.

We really enjoyed our short break in Roddy to Hayling Island (with a stop off at home to collect our stuff and meet a micro camper)!! This was our first trip in a campervan, but with Roger's supportive messages beforehand and clear handover instructions, we both had a great time and Roddy was very comfortable to drive. Thank you and all the best Roger to you and Jackie. September 2024
Response from Roger Thank you Stephanie pleased you enjoyed your first campervan experience we did a detailed intro which is great as a brief intro to allow a sspeedy departure often means a call later when something is overlooked.Great hire with clean on titime return .
Sheron Sheron
Roger was very friendly, gave clear instructions but as our destination had little mobile reception didn’t get his reminder to turn fridge to gas. But that was soon sorted. Great for our four day festival experience. Remember to pack light and soft bags. Limited storage space . September 2024
Response from Roger Sheron arrived with all holiday belongings packed in canvas bags so much more appropriate than cases for this tupe of holiday. Trying to give sufficient info without overburdening you can easily overlook.So always happy to answer questions difficult without mobile signal.

Thanks to Roger for his lovely van Roddy. We had a fab time. It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday and my partner absolutely loved driving it! Roger was so helpful and responded to all our questions while we were away. It was our first campervan trip and we loved it. July 2024
Response from Roger Thank you for the review it is so good when hirers enjoy and respect as you both did .A pleasure to have dealt with you. Regards Roger
Steve Steve
The handover gave me all the info I needed - Roger was warm and friendly and relaxed with the fact that I was about to drive away with his camper! We used the van at Silverstone, staying in a campsite nearby (without electric hookup). The weekend was wet and having a warm dry place to return to in the evening was great - so much better than a tent! July 2024
Response from Roger Steve I remember us all laughing about heater demo .we won't need that! Glad you had good time another convert from canvas to camper. Thank you for returning Roddy so clean . Great to have had you as hirers Big thanks Roger.
