5About Jura Bertapelle
We are a family of road tripping adVANturers. My son and I have spent lots of time searching out our next favorite spot in the PNW. We used to explore in our truck and have spent a lot of time backpacking as we like to get away from the crowd. Late last summer we bought the van after years of dreaming about doing a van build. I'm an ER nurse and so I spent the winter months build the van and staying in a happy space when not at work. I'm excited to talk with people about building out a van, so if you are considering doing so I'm happy to talk about what I have learned and what I would do differently. Dylan is off to college this fall and so we are going to rent out our adVANture mobile to supplement his college tuition. I built the van so he at 6'5" could stand up without issue. I can't wait to meet you and learn about all the great spots you find to adVANture.

Perfect trip to The Steens (Alvord Desert). Would rent with Jura again - van was well equipped with everything we needed and Jura was great to communicate with.

10 day WA solo trip..Great experience. Great owner. Plenty of horsepower power to make it up Baker, Rainier, and North Cascade mountains. Plenty of electric power for laptop, phone, smart watch, etc. Plenty of hot water and easy dumping of waste water. Even with the rain and overcast skies I didn't get below 85% of energy. In the cold nights, the van was insulated enough and with the blankets, I was comfortable. Never used the toilet since I was usually one to national and state park facilities. Fridge was plenty big enough, I used a quarter of the fridge. Bluetooth speakers were a nice add because those vehicles don't come with great sound systems. Clean when I got it. Overall, as a tall guy, I would definitely rent this one again. Thanks Jura!

So happy to review Sojourner, a van I would rent again and could highly recommend! I rented the van for 3 nights to head to the coast and it is well maintained, organized, clean, and has everything you need. Jura has thought of everything including 2 step stools, one to get inside and then another to climb into the bed, yep. . I'm old. The bed is a north/south configuration so it's awesome for tall people. The van was easy to drive and had plenty of pep. Jura is a terrific communicator and willing to take the time to explain all of the systems plus she is very accessible for followup questions along the way. I'm already planning my next AdVANture with Sojourner.

Wow - well I don't even know where to start. Jura is a wonderful host and my partner and I had such an adVANture! The van is smooth to drive, there's a huge amount of space (standing room!), and the bed is so cozy. We rented the van for a whole month to visit family across the country in a moving-quarantine, and I'm so grateful for Jura and Outdoorsy for this option to exist. 1000/10!

This was our first campervan experience and we could not have been more pleased. Immediately upon making our reservation request, Jura reached out to us to better understand our plans and what we needed for the trip. She was quick to answer all questions and to offer guidance. Prior to our arrival, Jura had the vehicle serviced to make sure that we wouldn't run into any issues.

We had the best time going down the OR coast (Astoria to Florence) in Jura’s van. She’s thought of just about everything when it comes to the van’s amenities and ease of use, making it an amazing companion to take with us everywhere! The bed is insanely comfortable, the water is immediately hot, the fridge keeps all your things cold, it’s a total dream to drive, and the battery lasts forever. Couldn’t recommend this experience more. We stayed in tent sites at OR State Parks around the coast and it worked out perfectly. Thank you Jura (and Greg)!

I rented Jura's van for a solo, 9 night trip down (and then up) the beautiful coastline of Oregon. Overall, LOVED every second of the experience! I have a lot to say about this van, so if you’re interested in learning more, keep scrolling.

Many thanks to Jura for helping us have a great Oregon experience! The van really had everything we needed to be mobile, comfortable, and to prepare our own meals. We drove from Portland to Astoria, then down the coast to Florence, stopped in Eugene before heading to the Columbia River Gorge- we were glad for the healthy 200/day mileage allowance (more than sufficient for our trip). When picking up the van, Jura thoroughly explained how everything works and has helpful instructions in the van as well. Overall a very positive experience!

Jura and her van are AMAZING. She has thought of everything in this van: this includes both form and function (meaning style/comfort AND practical things you need while camping). The kitchen is well stocked with dish and cookware; the two burner stove is easy to work; the iceco cooler is brilliant as is the instahot for hot water. The bed is uber-comfy and stylish bedding included (like I said form and function - she's got both in this van). The van is a high top meaning that tall people (6' and over) can stand comfortably. Jura was super kind and incredibly helpful with camping recs. Absolutely recommend this rig! ; - ) #traveloregon

Jura has thought of everything with this van! The kitchen, lights, fridge, stove all worked beautifully. We made some amazing meals while we were on the road. The bed was so comfortable, we slept soundly with the far off coyote calls coming through the open windows by the bed:). We loved having our “home” with us as we explored Eastern Oregon. I wouldn’t change a thing!
