Catherine (Katie) 5.0We had a wonderful holiday in Melissa and Petes caravan. It was incredibly easy to set up and had absolutely everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. We really appreciated the helpful video links explaining how everything works; they made the whole experience stress-free. Thank you so much for allowing us to borrow your beautiful caravan were so grateful and would happily book again. Cheers
Gemma 5.0We had an excellent weekend camping in the panda expands! Everything we need was provided in the van. It was very clean and comfortable, Melissa and Pete were very accommodating with setting up the van for us, and great handover and pick up. We would definitely hire their van again. A great experience. Thanks so much.
Chris 4.8The van was great. It provided everything we needed and the interactions with the owner were positive.
Rhett 5.0We had a great week away with Melissa's Panda Expanda. Plenty of room for us and our two kids (8 & 6). Using their bbq, camp chairs and table meant we needed to pack very little. Van was very well presented and the handover included everything we needed to know, thanks. Van was easy to tow, with the electric brakes connected to my phone via Android auto. Definitely will be keen to hire again if we can! Would recommend.
Hayden 5.0Everything I wanted in a caravan, expander means lots of space but still easy to tow
