Hey, I'm Michael!

I'm an NHS Doctor and Senior Leader by night, but by day my wife and I enjoy travelling the world and experiencing new cultures. We have two small dogs, so we understand the importance of family and furry friends joining your journey, but most of all we find joy in seeing other piece share their experiences in our hutches' (motorhomes).

5 Stars – A Great Campervan Experience with a Trustworthy Owner I recently hired this campervan and had a really enjoyable experience. Michael, the owner, was approachable, friendly, and very helpful throughout. From the start, he was honest and upfront about the vehicle, taking the time to show me all of the existing exterior damage to support the Goboony paperwork, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. The campervan itself was a lovely drive—smooth and surprisingly easy to handle, especially for a 10-year-old vehicle. One small hiccup was with the ‘hill assist’ feature, which glitched twice, but Michael was already aware and has promised to get it sorted this week. Inside, the van was warm, comfortable, and well-equipped. I had no trouble hooking up to electricity, and the huge fridge with freezer compartment was a bonus. The gas hob worked perfectly, although the oven and grill weren’t functioning – but this really didn’t affect the enjoyment of the trip. All the appliances felt sturdy, and there were plenty of power sockets, including USB points. The added TV and Firestick made relaxing in the evening very easy. As a 2-berth van, space is naturally compact – two people can’t pass each other easily – but that’s part of the charm. If you're looking for room to swing a cat, you’ll need a bigger van! For me, it was exactly what I expected and needed. Overall, a great experience with a trustworthy owner. I’d happily hire again! July 2025

Michael was a pleasure to do business with very accommodating and friendly. The Camper Van was very well converted with everything you need. Especially liked the 4 ring hob and full oven & Grill. The bed once made up was large and comfy. There wasn't much space for clothes especially anything that needed hanging up but we rearranged some of the top lockers to accommodate our needs. I can't comment on its Off Grid capability as we were plugged into a site power supply for the whole of our stay. But there were certainly plenty of 230 volt outlets and USB charging points. The fridge was large and we stored all our food and drink inside. The TV worked well as we had Wifi access on the site so the Firestick gave us access to all our programs. The only downside to the trip was that Engine occasionally went into "Limp" mode and an Engine warning Light came on. If we stopped and switched off and then back on it cleared the Limp Mode. This was reported to Michael and hopefully he has had this checked out and rectified by a Garage. May 2025

Booked the campervan for 14 days. Pros: Big bed, TV, big fridge, unlimited km (which made us chose this campervan). Michael was very hepful with us and communicative. Unfortunately the campervan had some issues: 1. Water leaking from the shower flooded the entire floor (btw shower can be used only when plugged to electricity). Basically we used the shower only once. 2. First night we already had to go to a camping park because battery was not fully charged. 3. In order to use the plugs/microwave off grid, we needed to switch the inverter on and the battery went from full to 0 in less than 2 minutes of using the microwave. Talked with Michael about it, he said it was the fuse, I suspected it was the fuse, he offered to come and meet somewhere along the way and check but beeing already behind schedule (stopping in camper park to have electricity) , we continued without the inverter as most probable we would have the same outcome (battery couldn't sustain the consumption and the fuse would blow up again). 4. We tried one more night to sleep off grid but using the heater (which mainly uses diesel but also electricity for starting and run continuosly) + 2 usb to charge the phone drained the battery until morning. So the battery could sustain a night off grid, using 2/3 USB. 5. Eventually considering that we couldn't go off grid, we bought a electric heater that we used in the campervan at night (couldn't really use the diesel heater as we had people comming to us in camper parks to complaint that it is too loud.) 5. Water leaked also below the sink tank which was overfilled the first time but again shouldn't flood the floor inside the van. The rest of the time, we just filled half the tank to avoid this problem. We had additional minor problems. We've brought the camper back in day 12 out of 14 from which 10 days we've spent in camper parks. Basically half of our day was driving and the other half, calling/searching for places that have an available ptich with electricity for the night, it was getting exhausting. No refound was made. Have to mention this is not the first trip with campervans but it was the worst. In conclusion, the van is not suitable for off grid and has multiple problems that need to be fixed but I'm confident these issues can be solved by Michael in the future. August 2023
