We had an amazing experience! The Suburban and Roofnest setup was perfect—clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for our trip. The vehicle ran smoothly and made traveling stress-free. Our host was awesome to work with: communicative, flexible, and made the whole process super easy. Would absolutely rent from him again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great adventure vehicle!

We've previously back pack camped and bicycle tour camped. This is our first camper van experience and we loved it. We are in our early 70's looking for other ways to enjoy the outdoors as we age. Wanted to see if this size vehicle might work for us as we look to buy something, so renting made sense. We loved the hiking our itinerary allowed. Working with Carolyn was wonderful. She helped make the trip go smoothly and trouble free. Loved the comfort and ease of driving and living in this well appointed basic Camper Van for two weeks. Jet Boil and camp stove both easy to use and worked well. (We mostly used Jet Boil with back packing food. Loved the Jet Boil. Used camper stove twice--worked easily and well.) A slightly larger sauce pan would have been a help though. Excellent heater--we primarily used early in the mornings (Sept. night low temps in low 40s and high 30s). Loved ease of going to places without needing hookups. Very comfortable front seats with adjustable lumbar support--we are very picky about car seat comfort. Bed comfortable for us both--we are also picky about our mattresses. Note: one of us is 5'3" and other 5'11". Bed fit latter by sleeping further from the back doors, so could window wells at head and feet provided more length. Good LED lighting. Loved all the USB charging with outlets.No problem standing up straight inside the van. A taller person might not be able to stand up straight, and might want a van with a different bed layout to be able to sleep stretched out. Very happy with itinerary--driving loop from Anchorage--suggested by Carolyn initially based on conversation with us. We filed in details according to what we wanted to do and ideas from Carolyn, and changed when needed on the road. Happy with most of her suggestions of possible activities. We got our "wilderness fix" in the comfort of the camper van. Beautiful Alaskan scenery, wonderful hikes, a fly-view with K2-Aviation, 26 Glacier Day Cruise with Philips, out of Whittier. Also appreciated Carolyn's hotel recommendation, walking distance from River Wild, which made logistics of pick-up and drop-off of camper van work for us at the front and back end of our trip, because we flew in & out of ANK on non-campervan days, so no need to have van delivered.
