    We throughly enjoyed the comfort, style, ease of this van. Had a fantastic off-grid camping experience. Andrew was always more than happy to assist us along the way if we needed it. Definitely would love to hire again.

    Really great van! Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The air con and heater were life savers! We also had the van delivered and collected. This process was amazing. We really didnt need to do anything at all! Thank you

    We had a great time on our holiday in the off-road Forbes 12 that we hired. It had everything we needed: big fridge, diesel heater, shower/toilet, solar, all the cooking essentials, great outdoor kitchen and to top it off, the most comfy bed! Rob, Andrew and Julie were fantastic to deal with and I would recommend them and hiring their van anyday. We will be back!

    This was my first experience on Camplify. Robert, Andrew and Julie made it very easy from pick up to drop off. The Forbes 12+ was just as described and more. I didnt really need to bring anything but bedding and food as they provided everything you can think of. Very well equipped. The van was easy to tow and comfortable. We would happily book this again.

    We've just spent a very enjoyable four days off-grid in the Flinders Ranges with this van. It has all the creature comforts incl. a very comfortable king size bed, hot water, fridge/freezer & everything we needed in terms of cooking, eating & washing. And the owners are great people to deal with - faultless. All in all, a great experience.
