How we rate what's included

The bar is a floor, not a ranking. If two companies both clear it, they get the same state — even when one is more generous. A company that includes five gas canisters and a company that includes three are both trip-ready for a ten-day trip; the difference is shown in the spec text, not rewarded with a higher rating. The same goes for fridge sizes, duvet quality, burner counts, and so on. We show those facts and let you weigh them, because whether a second burner matters depends on you, not us.

This also means the standard doesn't move when the market does. If a company starts including more than anyone else, nobody else's rating drops. Ratings change only when the factsabout what's included change, or when we publish a new version of this standard.

The following are shown elsewhere on each vehicle and are not part of the equipment rating:

• •Insurance & coverage — CDW, gravel protection, sand & ash, theft protection, excess amounts. Shown separately as coverage facts.
• •Policy dimensions — cancellation window, payment terms, mileage limits, additional drivers, roadside assistance.
• •Vehicle attributes — 4x4/F-road permission, transmission, seats/sleeps, vehicle age. Already available as filters and specs.
• •Comfort deltas above the bar — extra burners, larger fridges, premium duvets. Displayed as spec text, never as a higher tier.

Each company's equipment details come from their published terms and, wherever possible, direct verification with the company. Verified data is marked on the card (“Vendor-verified May 2026”). Where we haven't verified a detail yet, the category shows as unverified rather than guessed, and is excluded from counts.

The equipment matrix attaches to the vehicle, with company-level defaults it inherits. Vehicles with mixed kit get overrides at the vehicle level, so you see the actual equipment for the specific camper you're looking at.

Companies and renters can report a factual error at any time — confirmed facts are corrected immediately. Disagreements about where the bar should sit are collected and considered for the next version of this standard, never applied retroactively or individually.

This is version 1.1, dated June 2026. Changes happen only via a new version with a public changelog. Thresholds change when renter needs change — never in response to a single company's offering or request.

Where the renter's dates are known, sufficiency tests (fuel, data allowance) use the actual trip length instead of the 10-day default. This is noted with a “trip-aware” marker throughout the standard.
