Kuku Campers in Iceland

Our Toyota Hiace was a bit old, but it worked well. We wanted a car that could drive F-roads, but inside this car was written that Toyota Hiace is not allowed for F-roads. After 10 days we had a problem with the car (it was very slow, no speed anymore) , but Kukucampers gave us imediately a new one, this time a Mercedes Vito. That car was very good and was also allowed for F-roads! After all we had a great journey and i would definitely recomend Kuku-Campers!

Overall the camper was fine. The person before us was late returning the vehicle so firstly we had to wait...(during this time we were warned about the various pitfalls of driving in Iceland and would we require more insurance)...no sign....so we were given a slightly bigger model so we could at least go get something to eat. This of course after we had to do a full check around for chips or cracks on something we had to return within a few hours. Later we were met by a rep with our camper and in semi darkness went through the checks on that. Luckily I spotted a small crack in the windscreen and so we were able to cancel the gravel damage insurance we had added. The camper turned out to be an unleaded model....I'm sure I picked a diesel(which are usually more economical on fuel). Unfortunately winter came a bit early and the camper proved not up to the challenge. The main body being not being insulated got very cold and it was only good sleeping bags which kept us warm. We also had some problem with condensation from the inside roof. However we're camping outdoor types and did not let these drawbacks hold us back and we had a great holiday. In all we covered about 3000km and got some good photos along the way. I know we picked the basic model but it should provide a basic level of comfort. Also given the camper had 90000 on the clock already you could probably ease off on pushing for extra insurance.

The van was great during the day. At night it was freezing. The heater in the back only works for two hours. Unless you only sleep two hours at night, you will need a hotel.
