I feel compelled to write this review because my attempts to reach a solution or compensation with the landlord have yielded no results. In fact, the landlord ignores WhatsApp messages and attempts at telephone contact. He no longer responds to anything. In principle, the handover went fine. The camper was said to have recently undergone maintenance on both the engine and the camper itself, so everything was in order. “And if any engine warnings appear on the display, you can simply ignore them.” That is what they said we would do. Shortly after we drove home in the camper—we still had our holiday to go—the first warning appeared: “lower engine oil level,” so we did nothing about that. Later on the road, during the holiday, the warning “refill Adblue” also appeared. We couldn't ignore that for long, because not much later the warning “Refill Adblue, otherwise the engine will go into limp mode” appeared; we couldn't ignore that warning, so I had to top it up. It later turned out that we received the camper with slightly less than half a tank. Had we received the camper with a full tank, this wouldn't have happened. At night, when I wanted to mount the bikes on the Thule bike carrier, the lock on the longest arm turned out to be broken, meaning I couldn't use it. Since we were faced with a fait accompli, I had to make the choice to secure the arm to my bike frame with zip ties. I had no choice. When we arrived at the first campsite, it turned out that the bike carrier, specifically designed for electric bikes, had sprung out of one of the holders. That bike carrier, with our bikes in it, ended up tilted behind the camper. We had removed the batteries for weight and theft protection, and yet this still happened. It turned out that it slid out very easily on one side. Simply dangerous. At the next campsite, it turned out that the grey water tank was hanging at an angle underneath, because one of the U-shaped mounting brackets had come loose. It was stuck fast, so I couldn't detach it or reattach it myself. It also turned out that the camper inventory (cutlery) was incomplete, and the coffee cups and glasses were simply dirty, not cleaned. I just put them back in the cupboard and drawers as used. The cover plate on the sink was also just dirty. Finally, while driving, the fly curtain that was in the doorway came loose from the wall. I reattached it with a screw. Unfortunately, during the return, all that was said was, “I thought or assumed the camper was in order, because it has been to the dealer,” and that the bike carrier slides out of the holder so easily and a lock is broken, “maybe one of the previous renters did that,” and “that the cutlery set is incomplete and all the cups and mugs, mind you, the previous renter didn't leave them clean.” Whereas what I actually wanted to hear was: “we should have checked all of that thoroughly and perhaps cleaned it ourselves before handing the camper over to you.” But unfortunately, it was only the fault of the garage and previous renters, and we find that very disappointing. On top of that, when we explained all of this again upon returning the camper, after having already said via WhatsApp that they would discuss it that evening and give us feedback on what they could do about it. But unfortunately, we haven't heard anything from them since, which is disappointing and something we did not expect from these people. Once again, we would have liked to discuss this with the rental company, but they are ignoring every attempt we make to contact them.
