Betty is such a joy to drive, and sleep in!
She drives really well and is good with distance. We had a small issue with indicators toward the end of the trip but this should be sorted. She has a Bluetooth system so you can play music. Sink works well but it's a bit of a faff to replace water. Bed very comfy if you're less than 5 ft 7", otherwise a little tight. Seats very comfy for long drives and she has great suspension for bumpier roads! All in all we absolutely loved staying in her for the week around Vancouver Island. Thank you Isla for being so helpful too!

We had a wonderful time with "Betty" and Isla is equally great. We rode our bikes on the galloping goose to pick her up and off we went driving 4 hours north. She was clean as a whistle and well stocked with all of our needs. She is in excellent condition for her age but understand windows were down for air and you need to relax into her quirks. I would rent this baby again in a heartbeat.
