Escape Campervan Rentals
Accustomed to cycle touring and camping with a tent, this mini campervan meets our needs in a very comfortable manner.
One drawback, we were not advised that the Liquid Propane Gas tank needed to be filled.
Thanks for your kind words! Sorry about the LPG tank, this is something we normally cover at pickup time. Glad you had a good time otherwise :-)
Cheers
