Having been let down by our original camper reservation which was booked months ago with another company Big Blue was just what we needed. Straight forward booking through Camptoo only a few weeks before pick up. Louise was great really helpful, kind & understanding of our needs, as we had never hired or driven a camper van before. I drove her as a support vehicle with my dog for my Partner to complete his cycle challenge from Lands End to John O’Groats for Movember in September 2022. We only used a few campsites throughout our stay which were useful for emptying the the toilet cassette and refilling the water a good idea to plan these especially when wild camping. She shows signs of age as you would expect as she has been driven many miles. Never a problem with Big Blue’s engine or facilities, which we had fun using. The top box was really useful for storage. Thank you Louise for your kindness & trusting us with her we will recommend others to book with you. Many Thanks Sue, Joe B & Barney
Big Blue was a pleasure to drive. It was comfortable and spacious with good visibility. It was ideal for our trip to Scotland as it handled the steep and rugged roads with ease. And not being too wide meant we could access roads and destinations which a wider motorhome could not. We were able to do roadside camping for a whole week. The beds were comfortable. Bedding was included which was an added bonus. Because it was light at night, the blinds were really useful. We did resort to bluetac to help seal up any gaps. The little cooker works well despite it being compact. It was handy to have cutlery and a few little extras ingredients to hand to help with the cooking. There are lots of little places to pack things. We had such a great time with Big Blue. It really helped make the holiday special for us. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for value for money and a very friendly owner.
Absolutely fantastic van! So much more spacious than I had expected and had the capacity to keep us off grid for the week in the outer Hebrides. Drives so beautifully and Louise was so helpful and easy to communicate. Watch out for my next booking!
