Is the Forster Van 599 EB Automatic a Good Motorhome for Iceland?
If you normally drive an automatic and want a motorhome for two, the Forster 599 EB Automatic lets you keep the transmission familiar while travelling around Iceland.
- Two people can sleep inside. You can plan your nights around campsites without setting up a roof tent.
- It has room for seven bags. That’s a generous amount of luggage space for two people travelling around Iceland.
- It's automatic. You can concentrate on driving a larger vehicle without also having to think about changing gears.
- It's 2WD. The EB Automatic isn't permitted on F-roads, road 550, or road 35.
When to Choose the Forster 599 EB Automatic
Summer: For a couple planning to explore the Ring Road, the automatic EB gives you somewhere to sleep throughout the trip. You can spend your days visiting places along the coast and plan overnight stops at campsites without arranging hotel accommodations.
Winter: Ring Rental offers the Forster motorhomes year-round, so winter travel is possible. Sleeping inside may appeal more than a roof tent, although you'll still be driving a 2WD motorhome. Check the weather and road conditions before each day's journey, and leave room in your plans for delays.
Shoulder season (spring and autumn): You can continue travelling and sleeping inside as the nights get colder. Check which campsites and facilities are operating during your dates, especially if you're planning a longer trip around the country.
Forster 599 EB Automatic vs Manual
Ring Rental offers the Forster 599 EB with both transmissions. The two versions sleep two, run on diesel, have room for seven bags, and are restricted to roads permitted for 2WD rentals. If you've driven manual vehicles for years, the manual EB may be perfectly comfortable. The automatic is the one to look at if you normally drive an automatic at home.
Compare the rental prices for your dates before deciding. The transmission is the main confirmed difference between these two models.
Not the Right Motorhome If…
- More than two people need beds. Check out the Forster 599 VB models, which sleep four and have rear bunk beds.
- You plan to drive F-roads. This is a 2WD motorhome and cannot be driven on F-roads. Look at Ring Rental's approved 4x4 roof-tent vehicles if Highland driving is a priority.
- You want a smaller vehicle. A motorhome requires more thought about parking, manoeuvring, and the roads you choose. If you're staying in hotels, a regular rental car may be more practical.
- You prefer a manual transmission. Ring Rental has a manual version of the same EB model, so compare both before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many people can sleep in the Forster 599 EB Automatic?
-
Two people. If you're travelling with children or a group of three or four, the Forster 599 VB models have more sleeping capacity and are the ones to compare.
- Can I drive the Forster 599 EB Automatic on F-roads?
-
No. The Forster 599 EB Automatic is 2WD and isn't permitted on F-roads, road 550, or road 35. You can plan a trip around the Ring Road and other permitted roads, but don't assume that every detour shown on a map works for a motorhome. Check the specific route before travelling.
- Can I rent the Forster 599 EB Automatic in winter?
-
Yes. Ring Rental lists its Forster motorhomes as year-round rentals. Winter driving requires care though, especially in a larger 2WD vehicle. Plan your trip around the roads that are open and permitted for your rental, and be prepared to change your plans if weather conditions deteriorate.
- What should I check before renting the Forster 599 EB for a longer road trip?
-
Ask Ring Rental to confirm the onboard equipment and what's included in your rental. You'll want to know the sleeping arrangement, available cooking and bathroom facilities, and any equipment you need to bring yourself. Also, check campsite services along your planned route, especially outside summer.
- How old do I need to be to rent the Forster 599 EB Automatic?
-
Ring Rental requires drivers to be a minimum age of 25 for motorhome rentals. Drivers must also have held a valid driving license for at least 24 months.
The Forster 599 EB Automatic keeps the focus on a two-person motorhome trip without the manual transmission. If you're comfortable with its size and your itinerary stays on permitted roads, you can travel and sleep in the same vehicle throughout your trip.
