We had a very nice weekend with “De Vancent” from Fien. We were pleasantly surprised by the coziness of the van and how smoothly and economically it drove through everything. The only downside was the smell of the gas fridge. Fortunately, we always had good weather in the evening, so we could leave the windows open at night, otherwise the smell was too overwhelming. But Fien was already aware of this and had already taken measures to make the smell more bearable and she also started looking for other solutions to solve this problem. We advised her to ensure even better ventilation and insulation of the fridge. A carbon monoxide detector would also help here to go to sleep with a little more peace of mind 😉. That's the only reason we don't give 5 stars. Furthermore, everything was well equipped in terms of basic necessities and comfort. Oh yes and the 2 slides under the bed sometimes dare to escape. But we never really bothered about that. They couldn't slide far anyway 😄. Here and there we had some ideas to make the journey with the Vancent even better. This is purely about details and extras because, as said before, a lot was already provided. - An (extra) mop or similar for your wet shoes. Sometimes you can't help but enter with your wet shoes, but unfortunately that took a lot of mud with us. Both from the rain and from dew in the evening / morning. The doormat didn't do much in this case, but Fien was already working on a solution here too. - There were many hooks everywhere for anything and everything, but we just missed 1 or 2 hooks for the jacket / sweater with which you stepped in at night. If you don't want to throw your clothes everywhere or want to start storing them because you have to go outside for the toilet or the like anyway. We could also put it in the front, but that obviously made a lot of noise with the doors after a certain hour. - there were mood lights that are very nice! But an extra set of batteries seems useful for this. These may have been present but we looked over them 😉 - if we wanted to open the door for breakfast and prepare the coffee in the morning, it was quite inconvenient when it rained. We had an umbrella with us to keep the rain out. So with some creative thinking you will eventually come up with a semi-solution ;). Of course you can also just close the door while cooking, but we preferred to open it for ventilation. - unfortunately we were in a place where the wasps also liked to stay. Since no fly net was attached to the door, they came to eat together and sometimes dared to hide until the evening. We had no problems with mosquitoes. The fly curtain at the back works perfectly, but then there is the bed again and sometimes you just want to have a nice meal with the sliding door open. - very last tip: we had the misfortune to get stuck in the mud 1 time. Fortunately, we were able to maneuver our way out of there pretty quickly. It would perhaps be useful if there were some planks in the trunk as a preventive measure (space enough!) If you are a bit more unlucky than us and cannot drive out so smoothly. But again: these are details and tips for nice extras that would make the experience even better. The Vancent was a very good tour buddy! We enjoyed it very much and would definitely book again! Thank you Fien for the trust and for making everything go so pleasantly! Very satisfied tenants here! 🙏 August 2023
