Barb
About
Barb sleeps comfortably 4 passengers so we would recommend her to families with kids on the first place. A large main bed for 2 with a proper mattress will fold in to give you more space inside if you need to cook, change your clothes etc. A second bed can be set up underneath the main bed and will comfortably accommodate another 2 travelers. The lower bed is foldable and removable (in case of 2 travelers only we’ll remove the bed, and it will provide you with lots of extra storage).
Two 80L water tanks (fresh and grey) provide enough water for cooking in fully equipped kitchen – large fridge, 2 burner stove top, pan, pot, plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery, French press etc. A large inside table sits comfortably 4 people and folds down to give you an extra space if needed.
Barb camper van will save your money for better places than the gas stations - the consumption is only 10L/100km (24 mpg)! The solar system allows you to charge your devices (USB and 110V outlets) anywhere you go. A roof window and a ceiling fan provide fresh air circulation during the summer nights and air-condition will keep you cool if driving on hot Okanagan highways. Barb is also fully isolated, and we installed a strong diesel heater so that will keep you warm in case of cold mountain nights.
Barb is 9ft tall and 19ft long - you will need this dimensions for your ferry reservations.
Camping chairs and a portable table to enjoy a campfire included for free (upon request).

We rented a campervan (Mr. Cap) from Lucie and Pavel in early September for a stay on Vancouver Island. They have young children and were one of the few companies that we found that could accommodate what we wanted in a campervan rental. They understand what it's like to have little ones and we felt safe renting from them.
The campervan was easy to drive, spacious, very clean, organized and well equipped. The design of the campervan was well thought out from the location of lighting and charging ports to the bed and kitchen layout. There was plenty of space for our kid to play in the campervan while we cooked or cleaned. They also had top quality materials in the build. Pavel's cabinet making skills really shine.
The whole process of renting from them was very smooth. Lucie is super friendly and was there to organize the logistics of pick up/drop off and offer extras that we might find useful for our trip. Pavel was available if we had any questions about the campervan during our road trip. Very accommodating.
You can see that they have transformed their passion for travel to include family. They have built a lovely fleet of campervans to share this passion with others to enjoy. We look forward to renting from them again someday. Thank you for helping make our first big family vacation a hassle-free and memorable one.

We had such a good time with Mr. Cap during our 3 weeks trip on Vancouver Island!
It was really a pleasure to rent from L&P. In the months prior to our vacation, Lucie took care of the practical stuff and was very helpful in answering any of our questions. On the day we picked up the van, Pavel gave us a very detailed explanation of all the functionalities of the van before we started our trip. From the first moment we felt comfortable and safe driving the van on the road.
The van is not only beautiful, but also very well designed from a functional point of view. It contained everything we needed: 2 spacious double beds which were very easy to install, more than enough usb ports and an electricity socket to charge the camera battery, a large inside dining table for the rainy days, camping chairs, a kitched unit with fridge/ freezer/ stove/ sink with large water reservoir, 2 ventilators to get fresh air during the nights, solar panels (we never had to plug in on the campgrounds), … .It was more than spacious enough to comfortably fit our family of 4, and even our luggage for 3 weeks fitted in the cabinets. During our trip we got a lot of compliments from other campers on the van, unfortunately we always had to say it was not ours?...
We had a great time, and also our kids really enjoyed this experience. If we would come back to Canada, we would definitely rent again with L&P. Lucie and Pavel are both very warm people and go that extra mile, they run their business with passion and we could feel that in every aspect of our rental experience with them. Thank you Lucie and Pavel for helping to make this a memorable vacation!

Occasionally in life you get lucky and everything you plan falls perfectly into place. Organising our trip in Mr Cap was just one of those rare occasions.
First of all the booking process was super easy, the price was great and we were excited for our trip.
Picking up the van was incredibly easy and very well organised, with Pavel giving us a great introduction to everything.
Whilst we were in the van on our trip in the rockies the van was just perfect. Honestly you could not ask for any more. It’s a smooth, easy drive. There’s everything you need in the van and it looks awesome!
But what really makes the whole experience is that the people who run the business - Pavel and Lucie - are two incredibly nice people. Pavel took the time to drive us back to our hotel, then as if that wasn’t enough, waited for us and drove us where we needed to go in Vancouver. To top it off he gave us a free tour of the city. What a guy! Seriously though, Pavel is probably one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet.
If you rent from L&P not only are you getting an amazing vehicle but you are supporting a family who are working hard to built a great business.
Thank you both for such an amazing trip. I wish you all the best in making L&P even better and more successful!
