Happy Campers were really great from start to finish. We hired the 4x4. When we arrived at the airport, we only waited for around 20 minutes for our shuttle to show up. We did, however have to wait almost two hours for our van to be ready but with free coffee and biscuits while we waited, it wasn't too bad! The van itself was great, it got us around the ring road and then some in all weathers from wind, rain, snow and ice. It was a delight to drive. The living quarters, while comfortable, were not as great. Our van had no independent lights at the back (apart from a reading light which didn't illuminate much) and in the winter, it was quite annoying having to use our phones as lights. There was one drawer for food storage and a cooler, which was more than we needed for food, but very little space for bags. Luckily we travelled light and brought backpacks with us, I couldn't imagine doing it in a suitcase! The gas cooker was a little finnicky when the gas bottle was less than half full, it couldn't heat a pot of water so we ended up having to buy a new gas bottle (the van came with 4 half full bottles, probably for that reason!). But once it got going, it was a great little cooker!The best part about the van, was the diesel heater. We stayed in temperatures ranging from 4c to -7c and we were toasty and warm all night! The bedding that came with the van was so cosy and we didn't feel too cold at all during our trip. Overall, it was a pretty good van, everything worked as it should, the price was great and the people at Happy Campers were an absolute delight to deal with. Any questions we had, they were right on hand to help with. It just didn't feel built for more than a day or two's travel due to the lack of storage and other points.
