Is the Forster Van 599 VB Manual a Good Motorhome for Iceland?

For a family or group of four planning to stay on regular roads, the Forster 599 VB gives everyone indoor sleeping space without needing two separate rentals.

• It sleeps four. That's twice the sleeping capacity of Ring Rental's Forster 599 EB models.
• There are bunk beds at the back. The VB has a different sleeping arrangement from the two-person EB.
• There's room for seven bags. Four travellers will need to be more selective about luggage than a couple renting the EB.
• It's a manual diesel motorhome. The driver should be comfortable handling a larger vehicle with a manual transmission.
• It's 2WD. No F-roads, road 550, or road 35.

When to Choose the Forster 599 VB Manual

Summer: Four people can travel together and sleep in the same motorhome while exploring Iceland's regular road network. For families, the rear bunk beds may be particularly appealing. Plan your route with the 2WD restriction in mind rather than assuming the motorhome can reach every destination on your list.

Winter: The VB is available year-round, and having everyone sleep indoors changes the experience compared with a roof-tent rental. You'll still need to account for winter roads and the size of the vehicle. Keep the itinerary flexible and don't plan on Highland driving.

Shoulder season (spring and autumn): The VB lets your group sleep inside when outdoor camping becomes less appealing. Check campsite opening dates and available services before travelling, especially outside the busiest tourist season.

Sleeping Arrangements in the Forster 599 VB

The biggest difference between the Forster EB and Forster VB is sleeping capacity. The EB sleeps two, while the VB accommodates four and has bunk beds at the rear, which is one of its defining features.

That may work well for parents travelling with children. Four people also need to share the vehicle's available storage. There is a seven-bag capacity for the VB, the same as the two-person EB. If everyone arrives with a large suitcase and extra outdoor equipment, think carefully about what you'll actually need during the trip.

Not the Right Motorhome If…

• You don't drive a manual confidently. Ring Rental offers the Forster 599 VB with an automatic transmission too.
• You want to explore F-roads. The VB is 2WD and cannot use F-roads, road 550, or road 35.
• You need beds for more than four. The VB sleeps four, regardless of how much luggage or seating space is available.
• Only two people are travelling. Unless you specifically want the VB's sleeping layout, compare the two-person Forster 599 EB before booking.
