We loved our time in Shorty on a family trip to a campground near Tofino. And the orientation / support from Kevin was great!

It was great to rent Shorty. An authentic retro experience well worth it. The car perfectly suited our needs and was fairly easy to use.

Where can I start with Kevin and Shorty. We had such an amazing trip and it all started when meeting Kevin who was super fun and very informative about shorty and made us feel very welcome. Shorty is a dream to drive and a great way to see this great country. I couldn’t be happier with both Shorty and Kevin. Would highly recommend

Shorty is incredible, as is Kevin, who is always available and helpful. He gave us a one-hour training session to explain everything. The trip to the Rockies went very well with Shorty, even if the passes are climbed at his own pace ;) all the comforts inside, the beds, the hot water...! Perfect! We'll definitely be driving off in one of Kevin's Campervans again!

We had the most wonderful trip. We had the pleasure of meeting a very enthusiastic Kevin who ensured we were well prepped before taking Shorty (RV) out on the road. He showed us how to use all the equipment carefully and explained everything well. He ensured we knew how to drive safely and correctly start the engine, give that Shorty is of a vintage era! We encountered zero issues with the RV on our travels across the beautiful Rockies. We enjoyed our time in the RV and all the retro quirks that come with it. Warning, don't expect to go zooming up any mountains as Shorty forces you to sit and enjoy the magic around you. We will be sure to reach out to Kevin again for our next big road trip and may even consider a bigger model now that we have the grip of driving a wide load!
