Wie schnell kann sich eine 7-monatige Vorfreude in Ernüchterung umschlagen?
Es braucht nur wenige Momente.
Das Positive vorneweg: die beiden Jungs sind super nett und hilfsbereit und der T3 hat einen wirklich atemberaubenden Charme. Bei der Anmietung des Campers war uns bewusst, dass der Wagen bereits 40 Jahre alt ist und das man hier und da Abstriche, im Vergleich zu modernen Campern, machen muss. Aber genau das wollten wir, aber doch nicht in dem Ausmaß.
Bereits bei der Übergabe des Campers fiel bei der Kontrolle der Lichtanlage auf, dass der Warnblicklichtschalter seine Funktion nicht erfüllt und die Warnblicklichtanlage wegen falschen Ansteckens der Lichtanlage nicht funktioniert. Die Vermieter boten uns an, dass wir einen Umweg von 70 km zu deren Werkstatt auf uns nehmen, damit das Problem behoben wird. Die Übernahme der Spritkosten durch den Vermieter wurde uns mündlich zugesichert. Nach einer Fahrt von 70km hin und zurück und etwas Fummelei hat sich der Zustand nicht verbessert. Er hat sich verschlechtert. Das Abblendlicht leuchtet die ganze Zeit. Selbst bei gezogenem Schlüssel. Um eine leergesaugte Batterie zu vermeiden musste selbst Hand angelegte werden und ich habe es auf den nicht legalen Zustand zurückgebaut. Die erste Hürde war halb gemeistert. Bei der Ankunft am ersten Ziel des gleichen Tages stellten wir einen Gasgeruch fest. Die Schranktür des Unterbauschranks wurde geöffnet, hinter dem die Gasflasche platziert ist, und direkt entzündete sich das ausgetretene Gas im inneren des Campers. Der Schock saß. Während meines Versuchs der Kontaktaufname mit dem Vermieter - was ca. 10 Minuten dauerte - bildete sich erneut eine Gasflamme im inneren des Fahrzeugs, da ich die Gasflasche nicht schnell genug trennen konnte. Hier war der Moment erreicht an dem wir dachten "das war der Tiefpunkt, jetzt geht es nur noch bergauf". Was soll ich sagen. Bergauf ging es. Aber nur im ersten Gang. Zwei Tage später fuhren wir die Küste hinuter zu einem kleinen Strand. Auf der Fahrt dorthin bemerkte ich in langsamen Kurven, als ich den 2. Gang hinuterschaltete, dass der Wagen sehr untertourig fuhr. Dieses Gefühl habe ich erst einmal gekonnt ignoriert. Als wir nach einer Erfrischung in Meer weiter wolten und ich den Rückwärtsgang zum Ausparken einlegte, passierte etwas unvorstellbares. Der Wagen fuhr vorwärts. Ich war wirklich perplex. Beim Anfahren war der Wagen ebenfalls stark untertourig! Das Problem wollte ich genauer wissen und schaute mir den Motor und das Getriebe an. Beim Getriebe fiel auf, das egal welchen Gang man einlegte, die Schaltmuffe sich nur vor und zurück und nicht mehr seitlich bewegen konnte. Das Hoch und Runterschalten funktionierte nur bei den beiden äußersten Gängen, also Gang 3 Gang und 4. Demnach wurde beim Schalten in den Rückwärtsgang und beim Schalten in den ersten Gang immer der 3. Gang eingelegt. Folglich brach bei der Fahrt die Kupplung zwischen Getriebehebel und Verlägerung zum Getriebe. Wie soll man die so die steilen Küstenstraßen hochfahren können? Mit Hilfe eines Schraubenszieher konnten wir manuell den ersten Gang direkt am Getriebe einlegne und so sehr gemäßlich die Küsten hochfahren zu einem Parkplatz, auf dem wir uns am nächsten Morgen abschleppen lassen musste. Hier war die Fahrt vorbei und die Laune unterirdisch. AM gleichen Tage bezogen wir einen modernen Camper den wir spontan einen Tag vorher gemietet haben und hatten hier keine Probleme. So sollte es sein.
Die Abwicklung über Yescapa war tadellos und der Kundenservice im Anschluss der Reise ebenso.
Ich bin enttäuscht über die Vermieter, da wir die Kosten für den Umweg zum Reparieren des Lichts, obwohl es mdl. abgesprochen wurde, nicht erstattet bekommen haben.
Folglich möchte ich die Bewertung splitten:
Camper, wenn er fuhr (ein absoluter Blickfang): 5/5
Yescapa für die Abwicklung: 5/5
Vermieter: 0/5
alles in allem 0/5.
Sucht lieber bei anderen Anbietern und nimmt moderen Camper.
Weniger Stress und mehr vom Uraub.
Antwort des Vermieters:
We really feel sorry for how the things went but, on the other hand, everything reported was easy to be solved if there was a little bit of more patient and understanding.
First of all, the light were all working except the four blinkers. It was a Sunday, and despite the delay of the client to the check-in, we drove to Tavira to try to fix the problem since the option was to cancel the booking. We had a nice chat over a coffee. Unfortunately we were not able to fix it properly and they had to manually switch the connection. So they were not without light but the four blinkers :)On the same day they had a gas leak, which was impossible to detect since the gas bottle was brand new! Anyway, the client got scared because the fridge switch was trying to start. No flame come out. That is not possible and anyone who has a small amount of experience with gas know to switch out the gas tap and fix it. The gas tube had a small cut. The replacement costed 2€, but he could have solved just cutting 1cm of the tube since the cut was close to the gas tap.Regarding the gear, we cannot predict this kind of problem. It was a simple screw that got loose. The mechanic solved the problem in 5 minutes and the van was on the road. In any case we tried to help the client to find a solution and even accepted the return of the van on the next day so that they could overnight and find time to sort out the situation. All is recorded on WhatsApp messages.Finally, we are not a rent a car but a peer to peer rental. This kind of persons are not our type of client. Cold head and easily panic with small setbacks. So far we have had almost five star reported in all trips as it can be checked by the reviews we got and we try always our best to sort out the problems. The problem reported by the client were easily solved and they could have had a wonderful time. Life on wheel is not an adventure for all, best wishes

A few days before the handover, we were invited to a WhatsApp group. There we were given all the important information about the handover, photos of the accessories were sent and we also received a video in which the van and how to use the van is described in great detail.
The group existed throughout the rental. This meant that communication was always quick and easy. Questions were answered quickly.
The handover point is very easy to reach with an Uber and very well chosen. The handover is super relaxed. Everything is well prepared. The van and the handling of the van is quickly explained. There is a shop at the handover point, where it is possible to get some stuff for the first night.
Sal is super equipped with lots of cool extras. Driving with Sal is super relaxed, due to its age we didn't drive that fast. So we had a great laidback time on the road and felt very comfortable.
Unfortunately we had a small problem with the battery. The bus didn't start in the morning and we didn't know why. After a short phone call to André, he knew immediately that it must be the battery. He came fast and showed us how we can bridge the main battery with the second solar battery if we had problems again.
We felt very well supported and looked after. Everything went very professionally and relaxed. We will definitely book again and can heartily recommend southcampers and Sal.

Presentation
Southcampers is a project idea that intends to materialize soon on a sustainable eco-tourism company where exceeding CO2 emissions from our vans will be compensate by our eco lodge energy’ renewable campsite. We aim to share our experience on adventure travel and community-based projects, and we offer a new way of doing tourism, respecting the values of the sustainability of the territory, landscape and culture, where the human component is the base element of our activities. We believe that it is in contact with the local community that trips of respect and care for what is known are built, enhancing the connection with the specificities of each place, namely with the people who contribute to keep this truth in traditions and customs. Come to travel with us! João & André
