    Well, you did a good job being as diplomatic as possible, but you clearly named it appropriately! Wow, the toilet situation was...less than ideal. The absence of rooftop air conditioning seems huge to us Americans, but I guess it's pretty common for European RVs. Glad you were able to make lemonade! 🍋

    I have an almost same model Weinsberg camper van. No. Weinsbergs are not top quality, but unlike these Indie Camper rental vans, my van has all the optional goodies you can get. Makes your life a lot easier.
    Weinsbergs are cheap. When I bought my van, the basic van like the ones Indie Campers have in their inventory were about 50 000 euros as new. I paid 75 000 for mine and it's a big difference.

    The US conversion camper vans are much nicer. Of course they're made for only one or two people and not made for a gang. The nice part about camper vans is that you don't need an additional vehicle to go sight seeing or to do any shopping because most will fit a a parking space. And I like the fact that you don't have a black water tank. In the US, you don't need to go to a dumping station to empty a grey water tank because it's only soapy water so you can dump it on the ground, or so I've been told.

    You would be all banged up too traveling those roads in Spain. They are narrow and not as well maintained everywhere as here in US. The RV thing over in the old world is different than US. Finding good place with all amenities is hard. Lower standards. Parking for such size vehicles is very difficult in small towns and areas of large towns. It all about the great people there. The sites to see. The ancient world. The history. The culture. The foods. The churches. The festivals.

Uno de los MEJORES CAMPERIZADORES del MUNDO | Episodio #27" y "MEJOR CAMPER 4x4 para dar LA VUELTA al MUNDO, VAN TOUR | EP28 | Mercedes Sprinter" Esa empresa Bivac Camper hace tremendos trabajos con las furgonetas. Los videos son del canal Ruben Earth. Son una pareja española que están dando la vuelta al mundo en su furgoneta. Comenzaron en las islas Canarias continuaron hasta Noruega, atravesaron Rusia y ahora se encuentran en Asia Central (Episodio número 89). Es una aventura bestial...los videos de Canarias son muy buenos.

    Really poor, typical Euro garbage which they happily palm off to people. The comparison between what is on offer (rental wise) in the US and Euroland is still vast. Last time I rented a car in Switzerland in the 1990's, they offered a piece of junk 1.1L Ford. Go to the USA and they go out of their way (depending on availability) to provide you with a luxury automobile with features found only in premium vehicles. USA every time for me...Europe (inc the UK) sucks!
