OLIVE: 1972 VW Westfalia From the Original JUSTGO Fleet
Olive, a 1972 Volkswagen Westfalia camper van, was one of the original JUSTGO vans - a vintage VW that became part of the early story of exploring Vancouver Island differently.
With her unmistakable green exterior, dormobile roof and classic Westfalia character, Olive travelled Vancouver Island carrying people toward campgrounds, beaches, forests and whatever happened to be waiting farther down the road.
She was never just transportation.
Olive was + is a legend.

One Of The Original JUSTGO Campervans
When JUSTGO began, the idea was about more than renting a campervan.
The van created a different way to experience Vancouver Island: waking up closer to the places you came to see, changing direction when something caught your attention and allowing the road trip itself to become part of the destination.
Olive became one of the first physical expressions of that idea.
Over the years, more campervans followed. Then Jeeps. Then RV's. So did travellers, road trips, photographs, videos and stories from across Vancouver Island.
From One Westfalia to Thousands of Vancouver Island Moments
What began with campervans eventually produced an extensive archive of original Vancouver Island travel media.
Beaches. Campsites. Ferries. Forest roads. Small communities. Stormy west coast mornings. Summer evenings. Travellers discovering places for the first time.
Olive belongs to the earliest chapter of the JUSTGO Story.

Olive Is a Vancouver Island Icon
Olive may have been one of the original JUSTGO campervans, but she quickly developed a following all her own.
With her unmistakable green exterior, vintage 1972 Volkswagen character, she was difficult to miss. People recognized her on the road, at campgrounds and in photos shared from across Vancouver Island.
Over time, Olive became more than a campervan in the JUSTGO fleet. She became a character in the story - photographed, shared, remembered and instantly recognizable to many of the people who encountered her.
She was not just one of the vans. Olive was Olive.
And for the travellers whose Vancouver Island adventures she became part of, the story often continued long after the keys were handed back. People loved sharing their photos of Olive — parked beside beaches, tucked into campgrounds, surrounded by forest or simply somewhere along the road.
Those photos and videos became more than pictures of a campervan. They became a growing collection of the places Olive went, the people she carried and the memories she helped create.
