Had a great trip in our happy camper!
We were picked up and dropped off from the Keflavik Airport with their convenient shuttle service. Their customer service was great. It took a little but of time to get our rental, but that was because we arrived with a number of other groups, so it took time to get everyone on sorted out. But we were able to enjoy a coffee and relax at their office until they could get to us. They had a lot of helpful information for the area and even a spot where you could take/ leave extra items that were unused like paper towels, seasonings, oils, coffee, tea, any non perishable items you may need. Helped for starting off and for leaving the extra items we had that we couldn’t pack home.
They give you a tablet with wifi which was great for us since our e-sims we purchased didn’t work. It helped us stay connected and navigate a new place. It also has maps and some pre set trip itineraries. You can also look up things that are of interest to you and build your own route for the day. That was convenient since we knew what we wanted to see but didn’t always know where exactly things were and what order you would get to them on the trip. You can also contact office via chat.
We rented the happy 1 for two people. It was well equipped for the smallest camper. We were camping in March, the temperature ranged from -8 to 6C yet we were plenty warm. The heater was great, the first night I was too hot. We grabbed extra blankets but didn’t need them, so save yourself some storage, you won’t be cold.
There is a little cooler. It won’t keep things frozen but cool. It’s fairly small but worked for a day or two worth of groceries which was fine because there was always a town with a grocery store (at least on the ring road).
There are pros and cons to the happy 1.
I’m 6’ 2, ( 188cm ). The bed was plenty long enough, however I couldn’t quite sit up strait inside and obviously couldn’t stand up fully. It worked fine for my wife and I but if you want a bit more room to change, and a bit more storage etc. maybe consider one of the taller camper vans. That being said, it was great on gas and could be easily driven through parking lots that were sometimes packed. Just a consideration when choosing what you want to rent.
Overall, I would go with happy campers again!
