We had a great week touring the highlands in Liz's campervan. The location in North Glasgow is ideal as its only a short distance from the highlands. On arrival we were met by the owner (Liz) who was very welcoming and showed us all the wonders of our first campervan. Handling. The van itself was very clean, the equipement generous and was easy enough to drive when my head eventually discovered I was driving a heavily laden van and not a car. The automatic gear meant I had one less thing to think about and could focus on handing the van. DooDahs. Teh van is equiped with all sorts of things. Automatic sliding doors, shed loads of compartments, an expandable roof space, a passenger seat that swivels round to face the rear seats, a detachable dining table. Lots of curtains and lights. Gas cooker, electric fridge, a gas canister for the hobs and heating and leisure battery that can be charged on site for the lights and plug sockets. The fridge is a bit bigger than a hotel fridge and can store a few beers, milk, OJ and butter. I would not go buying lots of fridge stuff as it wont all get in. Space. In terms of accomodation the van can quite comfortably hold two people and two small children or one other adult. We were a group of three (Mum, Dad and 18 yr old). The rear seats pull out into a two person bed and the roof canopy expands into a tent space for one adult or two small children. When the rear seats are folded back up they can comfortably fit two adults or one adult and two small people. The seat also has rear seating so you can lift the rear door and sit facing backwards admiring the view with the door acting as an awning from the rain (if it ever rains in the highlands). The van has lots of wee compartments that you can use to store your stuff. I know this is a fact known to seasoned campervanners, but if this is your first time travel light. When your have packed, unpack chuck half of it back in the drawer and come with few possesions, in this way you will have less stuff to pack, less things to put away and more room for the person in the rear seat. When we do this again we will travel much lighter/smarter. Extras. There is also an awning which when fitted can be used to decamp all your luggage to give you more room in the van. The awning itself was tricky to put up the first time, but once mastered was easy enough to do the second time. Attach the awning to the vehicle first then blow it up then peg it out. We didnt do it in the right order the first time and so took a wee bit longer to get it upright. Returning the Van: After we cleaned out the van we arranged to meet liz back at the drop off and went round the van to check we hadnt had any misshaps. All checks were done and we handed back the keys to Liz. Owner: Liz was very helpful and was attentive during our trip when I couldnt work out how to switch on the gas or how to switch off the child locks. She was very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Liz and her van and we will be back :)

We had.a great time in this motorhome for a week. Great kitchen with large fridge and lots of storage space. Lots of windows and natural light if you have to shelter from a storm as we did! Owners were very welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend!

Mark and his family were great! They made our holiday a unique unforgettable experience! Whenever we had a question Mark was answering straight away, we could not have hoped in a better treatment. And then, the motorhome was very comfy, it soon felt like home, there was everything we needed, there were even more kitchen tools than in my own kitchen! Beds were very comfortable and we never felt the need for the heating. Everything was easy to use. The vehicle was very easy to drive, it felt very safe and we went through very steep and uneven roads with no problem. Absolutely recommended!

From the pick-up to its return, the motorhome was a pleasure. It's clean, spacious, comfortable and has all the mod cons. Nicki and Spencer (the owners) were more than helpful from our initial booking right through to when we returned the vehicle. A great experience, highly recommended.

Lucinda was a lovely renter. Detailed messages of her plans and requirements and throughout her trip. She looked after my van and cleaned it herself ready for the next rental. Would rent to her again anytime. Thank you very much

Had a great long weekend in the van, absolutely loved it! Craig was a massive help answering all our questions and making sure we knew what we were doing. Van was really well equipped and so much roomier than we anticipated! Would definitely rent from Craig again and will be recommending his van to friends and family!

We had an excellent experience hiring our campervan from the owner via Yescapa.The vehicle was in excellent condition, fully equipped, and suited our needs perfectly. We were given a thorough induction to the vehicle, it being our first time in a campervan. The design and function suited us ideally and we enjoyed three weeks on the road with a straight-forward return procedure at the end. I am 6' 3" and I was able to lie across the bed without issue. The driving positions offered by the Fiat Adria were also comfortable for the long journey. We'd love to do it again.
