Campingbus von Joao

We had a great time, but there was a few hiccups. 

• We appreciated: 

- The layout and set up of the living place. It was very handy, spacious and well put. Cooking was really easy. The fridge works very well.

- The comfort of the mattress. We had great night sleeps. 

- The top gallery was one of the reasons we picked this model, and although we couldn’t sleep in it, we used it as an extra storage space, and it offered us the chance to sometimes stand up (if you place the trap door vertically)

- Lots of battery plug options, we always could charge our phones/laptops.

• We would have appreciated:

- It seems like the engine needed fixing. At some point I could not go faster than 30km/h on the highway whenever driving uphill (Joao said this was unusual and he would repair it).

- The van was sort of jerking when clenching the 2nd and 3rd gear. 

- The Radio/CD player was not functionning, I wish we had known that beforehand.

- We would have appreciated if the grey water tank had been completely emptied when given the keys.

Side notes: I always plan an extra sleeping bag, which came in handy this time because the blanket was a bit too small for the both of us. 

In summary: the living experience was awesome. We stayed 2 and 3 days on two different spots and never wanted to leave. We felt cosy, at home.  

But the driving experience was not pleasant because of the engine (I’m used to driving this model) and we had to modify our itinerary. 

I recommend this Van if you're not in a rush and have lots time planned for your road trip. 

Joao was helpful and always replied quickly to our messages, even offered to drive us back to the airport.
