Thanks Josh & Beth for your Simply Amazing review đ
Simply amazing! We hired the NC500 yellow sprinter for ten days, with the plan to complete the 500 in a particularly snowy January. We arrived in Scotland after a week of very heavy snow fall. The camper handled it perfectly, we had nights that fell below -9 and it remained comfortably warm, and cozy with minimal use of the heater. An hour on a night before sleep, and set with the thermostat to come on an hour before we woke was plenty to keep the cab warm. Which is a testament to the build quality and thought that went into fit out. It does not lack in anything you could need for any trip. Instant hot water with a large capacity tank allowed us to stay off the beaten track without the need for fresh water refills for days, good battery capacity ensured we never ran low on power. Even using 240v for kettles. Hairdryers ect. Which is a nice extra if youâre going off grid for a number of days. The storage and garage area is brilliant for paddle boards, bikes ect. Huge comfortable bed. And most impressively a hot shower at the end of the day. The van itself drives brilliantly, has plenty of power for mountainous roads. And is still compact enough that it doesnât feel too big on switchbacks, or narrow B roads. The camper allowed us to focus on the scenery and locations we were heading without compromise or worry and I would highly recommend to everyone. Donât be afraid to do the NC500 in winter! Just be prepared to be more self sufficient & a confident driver :)
