This iconic beauty is more than just a camper van--it's a portal to wholesome nostalgia and relaxed leisure, just toodling around and bonding like the good ole' days. You cannot help but feel young & happy in this van...we call her our 'Meaning Maker!'Picture of yourself cruising along scenic routes with oldies on the radio, the wind in your hair and on your feet, a soft smile on your face while the sun casts a warm glow through the big retro windows. Inside, the beautifully renovated interior invites you to unwind, while thoughtful amenities ensure your comfort on the road. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway or a longer adventure, Butterball promises a joyful and utterly charming experience. Embrace un-plugging from it all, and leaving the stressors of modern life behind, as you make new memories the old-fashioned way - no overstimulation, no distractions, just good old-fashioned connection.BB's vintage is her charm, and that comes with some old-school technology, so I am happy to give you a thorough run-through to show you where everything is, before you head off on your grand adventure!PS: your host is a Recreation Therapist (hence "the leisure bus"), so BB has got some goodies inside, for fun times and connection. :)Was ist inbegriffenBed: One comfy double bed + a single bunk overhead.

Hello Hello! I am Jeanette, a warm and fun-loving Recreation Therapist who loves to create magical and meaningful experiences for myself and others. I believe that taking a break from modern distractions and returning to simplicity is a great way to reconnect with ourselves and each other. It helps us discover our capacity to 'play' as adults and bond with the people we love. That's why I got my van, 'Butterball' the leisure bus, to inspire adventure and connection the old-school way. As soon as I sit inside Butterball, I am filled with a warm, nostalgic, youthful joyfulness—it feels like sunshine in my heart! I want to share this feeling with others, as happiness is best when shared. So, I hope you feel the same way!
xx, J

We had the best two days with Butterball. Our time with her was short, but she was the best part!
She was so adorable and had everything we could have needed and more. The bed was SO comfy. We got such good sleep! Not too hot or cold, and it was the beginning of August.

Travelling with Butterball across Vancouver island was an amazing experience and a dream coming true. Her vintage and charming look made the experience extra special, and we will for sure miss her very much. We also very appreciated Jeanette’s kindness, organisation and responsiveness. We strongly recommend people to live new adventures with Butterball, you won't be disappointed! Hoping to come back again to Vancouver in the future for more! Thank you again for everything,
Rox & Nico from Montreal

We had a wonderful time cruising around in Butterball and taking her up the Sunshine Coast! She was nicely decorated and had all the amenities we could have needed! Jeanette was a great host, very responsive, thoughtful and helpful! We highly recommend renting Butterball and enjoying a bit of nostalgia in this cute 1970s van :)
