Hey, I'm David!

Keighley, United Kingdom – Member since August 2021

I bought my first camper van 36 years ago, and have had one ever since. I love exploring the outdoors, and have being a keen potholer, scuba diver and skier in my time. I find having a camper van is the ideal way to indulge my hobbies. In my sixties now, I find I have slowed down a bit, but still love to use my motorhome as a base for exploring new places.

Brilliant communication from the start. We had a great time travelling in Scotland. The motorhome really clean, well equipped, has everything in it that we needed. This was our first motorhome experience and we enjoyed. Wishout hesitation would rent again. July 2025

Joey is an excellent compact motor home ideal for a couple. David has maintained it very well and gave us a great handover covering everything we needed to know. Very helpfully he let us collect it early to facilitate getting across to a Jazz and Blues festival in the Yorkshire Wolds, that started in the evening. It was the perfect base for the festival: comfortable bed, good size fridge, ample awning space. I would strongly recommend hiring from David. July 2025

The van is amazing, had no issues with it. Great runner and nice drive. Done many miles in it in comfort. David was amazing always available when we had any questions. Would highly recommend this Motorhome for anyone looking to hire. This was our first trip in a motorhome and everything was easy to use as David showed us everything we needed to know before setting off. July 2025

Fabulous little motorhome, great for our first trip without a tent! Easy to drive and just the right size for two adults. David (the owner) explained everything in detail before we set off and what to do in case of emergencies. Having access to written information also helped as we did need to refresh ourselves once we pitched up. Well looked after motorhome, clean and lots of camp essentials thrown in. We would recommend David and 'Joey' to anyone wanting a small motorhome or a first time experience. We might even consider 'Joeys' bigger brother next time. June 2025

We had an amazing experience touring Scotland! From the very beginning — communication, the motorhome’s setup, interior organization, and equipment — everything was top-notch. Wanda was fantastic, providing us with a comfortable and safe stay throughout our journey. Thank you, David, for your attention and support — congratulations on your outstanding work! May 2025

We hired Wanda for 2 nights in April. Dave is genuine and friendly and gave us a thorough handover before letting us loose. He said to call him if we had any problems whatsoever and he would help. We did contact him (only a minor thing that we'd forgotten how to do) and he was very helpful. The motorhome was much nicer than one we'd hired previously from someone else, we couldn't fault anything on it. It's in great condition and is equipped with everyone you need. We'd definitely like to hire from Dave in the future. May 2025

We, my wife and I, had a great time travelling in Scotland in Wanda. The motor home has everything in it that we needed. This was our first motor-home experience, and it was all that we could have hoped for. We had good weather that helped. David was very helpful and supportive, before, during and after our trip. Our main focus was to visit Skye, which was beautiful. But also Glencoe, the Malaig peninsular and a little time around Loch Lomand. April 2025
Mark Mark
Joey was a pleasure to drive and all of its components were easy to understand and use during our trip around Scotland. We encountered no issues with the van and we think it is the perfect size for couples. David was very helpful with introducing us to campervanning and showing us around the van. We would recommend anyone to hire a van from him. Thanks again. Mark and Emily March 2025

Brilliant communication from the start. Really accommodating to our requests. The motorhome was excellent. Really clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend away. Really comfy and the heating was so efficent. We didnt use the shower as campsite had lovely faciltiies. Great layout, felt spacious and real bonus having a bike rack. Wishout hesitation would rent again. March 2025

Tim Tim
What an amazing experience David and Joey gave us for our 1st Road Trip, we went down to Silverstone for the F1 weekend to see LH44 win. Communication from David was excellent from start to finish... handover was seamless and David took the time to show me all of the features of Joey inside and out and the 'users folder' came in very handy. I had a couple of questions once we got to the Campsite and David answered them straight away. Joey was a fantastic drive and I'm sure he enjoyed the time at Silverstone with his 'mates' too :) All David asks is that you treat Joey with respect and as if it were your own, and we did and in return Joey gave us an amazing weekend to treasure and save into our memory box. We've got the bug and will definitely be back ! Thanks David & Joey July 2024
Response from David Thanks v much Tim for looking after Joey so well

Clare Clare
David was very helpful and explained how everything worked and told us to ring him if there were any problems. Joey had everything we needed for our weekend adventure and was comfortable and warm. We would definitely like to go again but for longer next time. June 2024
Response from David Thanks for that review, Clare. Sorry I wasn't there to welcome you back. Thanks for looking after Joey so well We would love to see you both back if you fancy another adventure!

The Van was just perfect! David was really nice and helpful and explained everything :) In fact we have another rental in a summer time and this Van was sooo perfect we were wondering to change the booking for this one again :) Excellent trip! ;-) April 2024

As a first time campervan hirer, I was a little (!) nervous but David was super helpful in the run up to collection day. And when I arrived I had a thorough introduction to the clever features. Stargazer is really easy and comfortable to drive and I spent a very happy few days in the Peak District camping off grid. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a compact campervan with all the features you could hope for. August 2023

David and the motorhome were both spot on , really impressive all round experience 👍 July 2023

We just finished our top-of-the-bucket-list trip of exploring the UK and Ireland by RV for a month and a half. There were a large variety of RVs available to rent, but choosing to do it in Stargazer was the absolute best decision we ever could have made. We’re a retired senior couple (ages 72 and 62) who love to explore the US by RV. We had truck campers, motorhomes, and a trailer while the kids were at home, but now that it’s just the two of us our touring rig of choice is a truck camper - because of the convenience and freedom to go absolutely anywhere the smaller size allows. With the narrow roads in the UK we specifically did not want to rent a motorhome due to their width, so in planning our trip we focused just on the campervan market. We happily came to realize after a couple weeks in Stargazer that since he’s a custom, professionally converted Renault utility van he’s both shorter and narrower than most of the campervans we saw. You can read all about his features in David’s description so I won’t repeat them here, but it astounded us how Simon of Greenline Leisure Vehicles designed and custom-fit everything he did into a package that’s the same length as our Toyota minivan (16ft) at home. Stargazer was perfectly suited for the kind of touring that we like to do: easy, convenient, and hassle-free – and with no set schedule where we had to “check-in” someplace by a certain time each night. It was fun and easy to drive and park anywhere we wanted, and super easy to convert between daytime travel mode and nighttime sleeping mode. (Tip: we found the park4night app indispensable for finding unbelievable wild camping/boondocking spots to overnight for free. We became spoiled by the many fantastic campsites we discovered with park4night – with most either along the water or with beautiful water views. Even our inland wild campsites had knockout views. It was almost a disappointment for us when we had to get a campground for the night – which we did about every 4th night to shower and empty/refill holding tanks – because they rarely have the stunning views we could find on our own with park4night.) After spending a month and a half in Stargazer exploring England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, our favorite things about him are: being able to fit into virtually any parking spot that a car could fit into (we weren’t relegated to oversize/motorhome parking lots and rarely had to pass-up a parking space because we couldn’t fit); plenty of headroom for both of us to stand up (we’re 5’11” and 5’6”…no crouching necessary!); a slide-out/stash-away toilet in the back with privacy door; a good sized frig/freezer with ample space for food and beverages; conveniently-located courtesy lights and USB ports; economical diesel motor with plenty of pickup for passing and power for pulling hills; excellent 180-degree sideview mirrors; and awesome blackout shades for sleeping. For a balanced review I’d offer-up Stargazer’s negatives…but I honestly can’t think of a single one! David and Nicky were very gracious and accommodating hosts, and since they’re passionate campervanners themselves they know personally what things matter to their guests. They quickly responded to our questions during the rental setup process; gave us a number of helpful trip planning suggestions; picked-up and returned us to the train station nearest their home (Keighley); had us in for tea to hear about our trip; and stored our suitcases for us while we were touring so they didn’t take up space in Stargazer. And David even stopped on the way to the train station to let us get out and take pictures of his neighbor’s Highland cattle. (We were disappointed that we only saw a few of them on our entire tour, and here there were six in his own back yard…including three playful calves!) David and Nicky are wonderful, down-to-earth folks who genuinely care that their guests have the best possible experience…and we absolutely did. We can’t say enough about how awesome our Stargazer rental experience was. It’s perfectly suited for those who are familiar and comfortable with traveling in smaller RVs (particularly since you already know the most important logistical rule…only one person up and in the aisle at a time!). So for those travelers who like complete traveling freedom and like to explore simply and economically, we highly recommend Stargazer to “coddiwomple” in the UK (look it up…it’s a good thing). Cheers mates! Tom & Patti (Kennewick, WA USA) July 2023

I hired Wanda for a weeks trip to France. Nothing was too much trouble for David, he answered my many questions, nothing was too much trouble. He fully explained the vehicle outside and in. Wanda was a dream to drive. I’d definitely recommend David and Wanda. 5 ⭐️ June 2023
Response from David Thanks for that lovely review, Adam. I’m so glad you had such a good trip in France. Thank you for looking after Wanda so well. It would be lovely to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
Elizabeth Elizabeth
I really enjoyed using Joey. David was really helpful beforehand. I was able to see it and test drive it beforehand so I was very confident about being able to drive it. It was very well set up inside with everything that you would need and very clean. The weather was not brilliant but I was very comfortable in the motorhome. I can happily recommend it. June 2023
Response from David Thanks for that nice review, Elizabeth It's a real pity the weather was bad, but at least you were warm and cosy in Joey! We would love to see you again if you fancy another adventure!

Jodie Jodie
Joey is amazing!!! This was our first time hiring a motorhome, and what a great experience we had travelling around the west coast of Scotland. From the initial enquiry to retuning Joey home, we couldn’t fault anything at all! David was extremely helpful answering questions we had, even throughout our trip when we needed a bit of advice on one of the components, which made our first time feel like a breeze. Response times to queries ahead of collection were extremely quick, and the tour around Joey at the beginning was super efficient. The cleanliness was impeccable and it had everything you needed incl. toilet roll, hand wash, cooking oil, tea, coffee and sugar. David even popped a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge.. he thought of everything! We would recommend hiring Joey to anyone, in fact, we have done so already to family and friends. October 2022
Matthew Matthew
Fantastic van rented from some fantastic people. Plenty of space, feels brand new and drives really well. Couldn’t recommend the van or the owners more! October 2022
Kit Kit
We had a fantastic adventure in Joey on our road trip around Devon, Cornwall and the West coast of Wales - he was really well-equipped and had everything we needed for two weeks. David had thought of everything, even down to cooking oil and a pint of milk, and gave us a really thorough introduction and orientation when we arrived for pick-up, so everything went very smoothly. The driving was a breeze and because Joey is relatively compact, negotiating minor roads was fine; I absolutely loved my time behind the wheel. Highly recommended! August 2022
Response from David I'm really pleased you had such a good trip, Kit! And thanks for that lovely review It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I really appreciate the way you looked after Joey so well.. If you fancy another adventure some time, you'ld be more than welcome to borrow Joey again!
Christopher Mark Christopher Mark
Just spent an amazing week in 'Joey' exploring Scotland. We would not have done this journey any other way! Our first time hiring a motorhome and loved every minute. David gave us clear instructions and provided a super manual which contained absolutely everything about 'Joey'. What a wonderful way to travel and certainly one we thoroughly enjoyed! May 2022
Response from David What a lovely review! Thanks v much for that! And what a stunning photo too. You're right - Motorhoming has got to be the best way to explore Scotland 😊
Naomi Naomi
We spent an amazing 5 days in Joey for my husbands 40th , travelling around the Scottish highlands. Joey is perfect for 2 he has everything you need for cooking, the bed is really comfortable and really lovely to drive ( the husband says !) . We actually didn’t spend as much on fuel as we thought we would either as he’s very efficient! The owners Nicky and David are really nice genuine people and made sure to take us through all the ins and outs and were available on call for any queries we had. Honestly best holiday we’ve ever had an amazing experience, and made some precious memories. If your debating on whether to hire him do it you won’t regret it ! March 2022
Response from David Thanks for that lovely review, guys! We really appreciated the way you looked after Joey so well. It would be lovely to welcome you back again for another adventure!
