Fantastic rental campervan company. Our flight was delayed, so Liliana generously stayed beyond work hours to be a shuttle to the office. She explained many tips and details to make our trip safe and comfortable. The Happy Camper app was great too, with the main 3 websites that are crucial, such as the Road conditions map which gets updated every 3 min.
We had the Happy 1 EX and traveled in late January for 4 days, and it was off-peak, which was great as still a few tour buses at the main spots/waterfalls/ geysirs etc. All the main large roads were cleared of snow somewhat frequently, but the smaller roads were not accessible in our non-4x4 van. Took a day or so to be exposed to different icy driving conditions to feel fully confident, not for the faint-hearted/nervous driver!
The van kept warm at night but the heater was quite loud, so we turned it off just before sleeping. Whilst the van was insulated, the warm air didn't last that long, so within an hour of the heater being off it was quite cold. Definitely need many blankets and sleeping bags, as well as the sheet and duvets they provide. Some nights the condensation was pretty bad, but was gone by morning. Plenty of cooking gas, and large water tank. But we ended up using campsite kitchens most nights as they were warmer and bigger. Would rec this van for a couple days travel, but was small, so would might get annoying after much longer (sleeping was a tight fit at 180cm and a bit squished with my partner to my side).
