About Kauri and Jenny Thompson

Hi! We’re Kauri and Jenny and we love to travel. We’ve been able to travel so much outside of the US but not enough within. We decided the only way to do it was state to state on wheels.

Owners communicated nicely before and after the trip. Queen Bee was perfect for touring the 5 national parks!

The Queen Bee is a great RV van for a trip through Utah. Perfect for two people to boondock and be comfortable. The hosts were responsive and helpful

Queenbee was awesome! We boondocked in Capital Reef and Maple Canyon and had all the comforts of home at our fingertips.

We appreciated you and your wife Virgina so much! Thank you for bringing Queen Bee back better than she was before you left. Come back anytime.

This was my mom’s first time visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. She has health issues and I wanted to rent a Mercedes campervan so all the amenities were in one, moving spot with us for the whole trip. Queen Bee was perfect! Easy to drive, super clean, all the amenities of a hotel room and much more. We fit in car spaces too, which is a big deal in popular national parks where parking is a challenge.

Jenny and Kauri were the most kind and amazing hosts. Great communication, great orientation, smooth pick up and drop offs… an all around great experience! And best of all queen bee is an excellent rig. We took QB to Dutch John on the Green River and back - it was easy to drive and handled well. Would definitely rent again! Thank you

We had a fabulous time. The Queen Bee is very well equipped. Jenny and Kauri have thought of everything — not a detail missed. We’d absolutely rent again — excellent communication & exceeded expectations.

We loved Queen Bee. We slept comfortably, adventured off grid, stayed warm, and cooked great meals! We brought mountain bikes and went to the Moab area and with a full fridge and water tank and were able to play our days by ear and camp wherever we wanted. We had sun, wind, snow, and backroads and were able to do it all! The orientation of the bed was great for a tall guy (6’4”) and was so comfortable! The kitchen set up is super functional with the ability to have burners and a sink that convert to counter tops. The van was stocked with everything we needed, even some fun great touches.
The owners were so great to work with before the trip, day of, and during. They wanted it to all go well for us, which it did.
The heat and electric lasted through the night, even with low November light and some colder nights.
Thank you!

Great vehicle. Powerful and smooth Mercedes engine. Big bed in back and comfortable seating. The owners were super responsive. Can’t wait to try it again.

We rented the fabulous “Queen Bee” for our anniversary weeklong trip in September 2022. This was a dream trip for us traveling and camping through the beautiful Idaho backcountry and we feel lucky to have rented from Jenny and Kauri. From the beginning they were warm, friendly and knowledgable making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They even supplied us with additional resources so if we had any difficulty everything would be at our fingertips. They have kept this beautiful van in perfect condition and were kind enough to provide so many extra items to make sure that our trip was amazing including a French press, assortment of yummy teas, cocoas etc and a great mat to set up our camping chairs under the awning and relax and read in the evenings. We were so impressed with how luxurious and wonderful this van is! The van is in perfect condition inside and out and incredibly comfortable, especially the king size bed which is very different from other vans we have rented. We drove 1695 miles over the week and can verify a smooth ride and cozy chairs! We were surprised at how much storage space the van has with so many nooks to place our books, camera gear, chairs, games etc in addition to the ample closet space for clothing and toiletries. The kitchen is spacious and we had plenty of overhead cabinet space for food in addition to the refrigerator. Even though we overpacked there was room for everything because of how well set up this van is. In addition to being comfortable, everything was super-easy to use. Both the outdoor and indoor showers have good pressure and it is so nice to have a shower and full bathroom you can use at any time. We cooked each night and every tool we could possibly want to cook and clean up with was available. While we only plugged in one night, that night was incredibly hot outside and it was great to have air-conditioning to get to the perfect temperature. Most of the time we boonddocked in the back country, enjoying the peace, quiet and beautiful night skies of Idaho. Given what a great central location pickup in Northern Utah is at you could easily go so many places in this van from the great national parks of southern Utah, to the amazing mountain biking of Moab, to the ski slopes in the north. It would be equally easy to access Yellowstone, Colorado, Idaho, Lake Tahoe or the even the Grand Canyon. If you are thinking about renting a van, look no further - you have found the best one for a perfect vacation!
