Photos of Campervan Axle

Overall, the experience went as planned. Im sure we paid much less for this van than we would have if wed gone through a traditional RV rental agency. We had the van for 30 days, so Im not sure how representative our experience is. The owner, Rich Holmden was very pleasant and responsive to our questions. He wasnt overly picky about how clean the van was when we returned it (good, because it already needed a wash when we picked it up). Only issues:Owner didnt have a way to collect the insurance deposit. Fine by me, but if anything serious would have happened, it may be tough on him.Certain problems with the vehicle were not disclosed until after final payment was made. It would be nice to see the good, the bad, and the ugly before deciding on a vehicle.The van got much worse mpg than the owner said, so it cost considerably more in diesel than I had expected.The electric system in the van is not well done. One has to plug in different cords in a cabinet at the rear to use the inverter, or to charge the battery, or to use shore power. This was a minor inconvenience, but Im sure someone with less experience using such systems would run into problems.The drivers side sliding door overlaps with the shore power outlet, so I managed to break the plastic cover to it. I was quoted 100 GBP to have it fixed, which was WAY too much, especially because it was a design flaw. After further discussion, Rich waived any fee for it (plus, I managed to fix it with super glue).Great experience!
