    Really enjoyed our week in Joes refurbished van. Very comfortable and came with everything we needed - it was ideal for our purposes. A great festival base and easy set up / pack down for moving around. Joe was super friendly and helpful when we picked up and dropped off the vans and always responsive if we had any questions. Highly recommended Ventured Campers if you are planning a trip in or around the Brisbane area! Thanks again Joe!

    This is a vintage van, which shows every bit of its 40 years of age. The air con (external unit bolted in front of glove box) did not work and just leaked all over the floor, the engine constantly ran at over 110 degrees heating up the van to such a point that you could not stand on the floor and this did nothing to dispel the strong smell of fuel through the van. The electrics in the back of the van heated up the inside when charging. These issues just made the whole van an oven on wheels, alongside the old vinyl seats was in no way at all comfortable to drive. The pictures of the van show an internal gas cooker, however, this has been removed, there are buttons missing from controls and the curtains do not meet together and need a good clean and there is zero storage space for bags and clothes. he flyscreens supplied and in the pop top had all split and torn and the canvas it self is worn through and not waterproof at all. In essence, it is not like the pictures supplied. There is no power steering which makes it tough to maneuver into spots and you have to fit the steering from drifting along the highway. However, the linen was clean and fresh, the foam mattress was comfortable and the fridge worked well. This van is really only for a short trip up the highway for a couple of days camping in a caravan park, in the cooler winter months.

    We feel so fortunate to have borrowed Joe and Eunices amazing van for 2 nights. The van (Samson) was fun to drive and never skipped a beat. They had everything ready for us to hit the road and enjoy our time in the country. We had so many compliments everywhere we went! Highly recommend!!!

    We had such a great time in this campervan! It was perfect for people whove never camped before super comfortable, easy to use, and had everything we needed, and even things we didnt know wed need! Even when it rained, we stayed completely dry and cosy. We also had people coming up to us, complimenting the van and its design, colour and wood work. We were also super impressed with how spacious it is. The owners was really helpful and accommodating, taking the time to explain everything during the handover including giving us extra camping chairs and lawn games. Drop off process was also extremely easy. Highly recommend for a first-time camping experience!

    We loved our first time in a campervan, Samson has all the features you would expect from a self-contained campervan plus a powerfull V6 engine which makes the difference on the road.

We are Joe and Eunice Hurley - a married couple from Brisbane, Australia.  In mid 2018, we quit our jobs, sold most of our belongings and flew to London, where we bought a vintage 1988 Fiat Ducato van. We renovated the interiors and then travelled all over Europe for 13 months in what was the road trip of our lives. We clocked over 31,000km and experienced the European continent in all its seasons. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to start a vintage campervan rental idea when we got home so that more people can experience the amazing adventure and freedom that comes with vanlife. This is when Ventured Campers was born. Living a simple and adventurous life on the road without having to compromise on the cosy comforts of home. We hope to inspire others to venture out and explore Australia in one of our rolling homes.
