Looking to rent or buy a micro-camper? You’ve come to the right place! Our first priority is simplicity. Like the highly reliable Toyota platform we’ve chosen to build on, the more simple the design, the more reliable the result. Your trip should be less about the vehicle and more about the adventure.

How much insulation should you put in your van?

Insulation advice from a Canadian. I’m aware that my views on this are HUGELY unpopular. I’ve been at the brunt of the Facebook flamers many times, but I just can’t keep my mouth shut.

Ferns, moss, and tropical flora seem to grow uninhibited in this sub-alpine wonderland. Mountains jut out of the ground and rise thousands of feet into …

Louise and Richard Guy Hut

I have mixed feelings about the Bow Hut. I think I was 12 when I first visited the well used (read: abused) metal-clad ramshackle blue-box that once stood under the guard of St Nicholas. Today, you’ll find a large multi-building compound that sleeps and feeds up to 32 in the summer. Being just a few hours […]
