It’s smart advice to consider renting a camper van before you buy one-- just ask photographer and digital artist Anna McNaught, who had lots of experience in road travel but little in the world of camper vans until she rented one for the first time recently with her husband, James. For Anna, renting a camper van turned out to be the catalyst for moving their dreams of long-term road travel forward.
