About Brian & Lucie Matzat
Took the vanlife plunge during the pandemic, and it was one of the best decisions of our lives! Being a digital professional allows us to work anywhere with an internet connection. From exploring the outdoors, to b-lining to the nearest music festival, there is no shortage of places we want to visit with our conversion, Belle.

I had an amazing experience renting Belle!! I drove 5 hours to the Hoh rainforest to camp for 3 nights. The van itself is flawless. I was blown away with how functional and cozy it was off the grid. The renting experience with Brian and Lucie was wonderful! Both of them are warm and friendly. Brian gave a great tour and breakdown of the van. And they were incredibly thorough and responsive in their communication. Feel very lucky to have come across it!

Brian and Lucie are wonderful to work with. My dog Pippa and I made the trip to the Umatilla NF camping in the Blue Mountains. Belle is an excellent RV and I would rent again. Thank you, Brian and Lucie! Leo and Pippa

Brian & Lucie Matzat canceled the booking 2 days before departure. This is an automated posting.
Brian & Lucie’s answer
Belle unfortunately has damage due to broken plumbing, and we couldn't get the part in time to honor the booking. We're so sorry we couldn't make Shilpi's adventure happen!

Belle was awesome and Brian and Lucie made the whole process super easy. The van worked great and the huge fridge / freezer was a bonus.

We had the BEST time in the van. Brian and Lucie were so helpful when we ran in to issues. The van was so fun for our little road trip and we cant stop telling our friends about it.

Belle was SO good to my sister and I on our first ever vanlife experience! We are from NJ and always dreamt about adventuring the PNW in a van. Belle was honestly the best van to do this in! We spent 5 days in Belle traveling up the coast to do some hiking in Olympic National Park and some back down to do some hiking by the Oregon falls. She had EVERYTHING we needed to cook so all we had to do was make one stop at the grocery store and it supplied us all week. Unforgettable memories were made in Belle and let’s just say she has inspired me for my own build one day! Thanks again to Lucie and Brian for their great hospitality in showing us how to work Belle AND for creating this beauty! 😊 Also, thought showering was going to be tough, but it was SO easy, and warm ☺️

We had a wonderful vacation in Belle! She is very easy to drive and navigate with, and has all the amenities needed. Endless off grid power supply, hot water, and toilet! Hosts were extremely responsive to any questions before and during our trip. I definitely fell in love with van life and Oregon. I'd be back again in a heart beat.

If you have the opportunity to rent Belle don’t hesitate!! We had the most amazing week in. She drove so well and everything was incredibly easy to operate. Brian gave us a great run through prior to us leaving and we used the instruction book several times throughout our visit which was very clear! The flexibility of being able to park anywhere and not having to worry about plugging in was a huge huge plus. We cooked nearly all of our meals and for two people there was more than enough space even on the rainy days. The van is designed so well and we couldn’t be more satisfied! It has everything needed for cooking and even had books/games! We would rent Belle again In a heart beat!!

We couldn't have asked for a better trip. It was our first time experiencing the van life and Belle treated us well the whole time. Belle is dependable and a great van to take on long stretches of travel. The inside of the van has a very pleasant ambience and was conducive to even enjoying a night at the drive-in. The van is versatile and served us well! 10/10; this made this trip into an experience of a lifetime. Thanks Brian, Lucie, and Belle!!!

It was just a short trip and our first in a camper van. Everything worked well and Belle is very comfortable, easy to use and drives well. We appreciated the electrical power available through the solar collectors and battery storage. It was great fun.

The van was perfect! Really easy to communicate through the app. Brian and Lucie were very quick to respond. The van was spotless. Perfect for two. We spent 5 days in the van and went all over Oregon. It was very easy to drive. Had everything we needed and more! The solar/battery set up was amazing. Tons of power which was great for my boyfriend since he had to do some work from the van. Cooking set up was great. Having a toilet and a huge drinking water tank were definitely plus for me! Great experience. Absolutely would rent this van again in the future.

Our weekend trip in Belle was great! We really enjoyed the thoughtful layout and the amenities. Being a taller guy (6'4") it was nice to have a bed that I could fit me comfortably. The galley kitchen provided plenty of counter space for cooking and the couch was a nice spot to lounge. The van drove well and I think we averaged over 15mpg.
