About Benjamin Smith

Hello, my name is Benjamin, my wife is Lindsay our son is Cooper, and we have a 6 year old Fox Red Golden Retriever, Sadie. Since I was a young boy, I can remember some of my best memories spent camping. Let's just say I have been hooked ever since! I have had the privilege to experience camping in all forms, from back country all the way to "glamping". I love to backpack and portage but there has always been something special about the idea of "VanLife". Although it may not be a full-time reality for us at this point in our life, we have really grown to love the freedoms and challenges that come with the lifestyle. This fascination and curiosity, (with a hint of COVID-19 lockdown...) Inspired us to build our van. In April of 2021, we welcomed SULLY to the family and instantly knew it was a perfect fit. Sully (Sullivan) was the direct result of hours of watching our favourite Youtubers; (Eamon and Bec, Kingingit, Kara and Nate just to name a few) pursue their passions and live a modest lifestyle with the freedom of travel. After completing the build of our van in 2021, it became apparent to us, between working full-time jobs and trying to start a family, that we would need to be home more then we like. It was at this point we decided it would only be selfish of us to keep SULLY locked up and not share him with you! Although we are new to renting our van, we are eager to hear stories and the memories you have created. Please enjoy and we look forward to hosting you in the future. Until then, Ben, Lindsay and Sadie

We had a really good trip with Sully. Benjamin was a great host, showing us everything we need to know. Our camping trip was comfortable and we had great sleeps with a temperature controlled fan and a queen bed. The kitchen area with the sink and fridge made food prep very easy. Would definitely use Sully again!

Benjamin and Lindsay are a prompt, dependable, reasonable, and knowledgeable couple to do business with. "Sully" is spacious and very well-maintained. I spent a week visiting family who have two cats, and I am very allergic to cats, so it was wonderful to have a safe private space of my own. I never needed any other power than what the solar panels provide for lighting, charging my electronics and making morning coffee.

The van was perfect! Easy to drive, and had everything you needed and more!

It was exactly what you'd expect or hope Rving would be like. "Sully" made the trip very comfortable.

Benjamin and Lindsey were very responsive prior to our trip and while we were away. They took us through a thorough orientation so we were comfortable and to ensure our experience was positive. It was! The van had everything we needed for a 5 night camping trip. The bed was super comfortable and we loved having solar power. Even though we booked sites with electricity to be safe, we did not need it. They thought of everything - fly swatter, extra long rope that we used for a leash, cleaning supplies, extra blankets, hair dryer, mirror and a welcome basket! The only thing we missed is a toaster. Perfect space for two people and a dog. The compostable toilet is a bonus.
We truly enjoyed our time with “Sully” and will rent again for a longer trip.

Benjamin was wonderful to deal with. Accommodating and friendly. The van was spotless and had most everything we needed.
