We had an amazing experience with the campervan. It was our first campervan adventure and we loved it. The van itself drives like a dream and handles very well on the backroads. Sizewise its perfect for all the roads we encountered and where larger motorhomes struggled. Our extended NC500 trip totalled 850 miles, all without any issues. In our opinion we were one of the coolest vans around. The color and retro vibe put a smile on our faces and we were happily greeted by other VW campervans whereever we met them. The van is put together thoughtfully and stocked and equipped with everything you could need and more for your NC500 (or elsewhere) trip. The fridge is large enough to be able to cater to two people for over a week - the kitchen has two burners, pots and pans are big enough to comfortably cook larger portions after a big hike, and there is enough storage to stow away all shopping and luggage. The bed is comfortable (with the topper) and we were nice and toasty during the end-of-September nights due to the warm blanket provided. For extra cold evenings the van is also equipped with a heater which heats up the van very quickly. It is also fully capable of wild-camping with gas, water and electricity available in the van. Ruaridh is a great person. He is very passionate about both the van and the region and really wants to give you the best experience possible for your trip. Picking up the van we went over everything thoroughly so that we fully understood all the equipment. He also gave us some great tips and recommendations which paired really well with our plans. Returning the van we shared stories from our trip over coffee and you could really see that he enjoyed hearing that we had an amazing time. We highly recommend Ruaridh and renting his van!
