My husband and I have been wanting to go on an RV trip for years and spending 5 nights with Papi didn’t disappoint. We went with our dog and had a great time.

We enjoyed trying out van life for the first time. The engine ran great and the cabin was comfortable for two people and a large dog for one week. We are used to sleeping in a king size bed. We slept blissfully. My husband is 6' tall and he was very comfortable. The kitchen came well stocked. Just bring some food, water, adventures and dreams. Sarah was responsive and accommodated our late arrival. The van was clean upon arrival. Thank you Sarah for allowing us that experience!

Such a great experience overall with the rental, pick-up, use, and turnover of the van. We spent 4 night in Papi and enjoyed it very much. From campsites to boon docking, it's a must on a trip if you are in the market for a camper van trip! During our trip we were actually driving and ended up staying in a Cracker Barrel parking lot due to a tropical storm with high winds and rain, couldn't have felt more safe and cozy.
It is a lovely rental.

The trip was great, the van was okay. The main issue was that the wheel shakes a lot when driving which feels unsafe and makes it harder to control. Also, I would have appreciated either better instructions or more labels on the various switches. As a first time RV renter, it was difficult for us to figure out how everything worked. Would still recommend this van though!

Sarah has an awesome RV and we enjoyed it very much! It Communication was great, pick up and drop off was a breeze. My only complaint is I believe one of the wheels are out of balance causing a nice vibration while you are on the highway. Easy to fix! Other than that, we had a blast and will definitely return!

We had a great trip and Sarah was very helpful. It was our first class B rental and she explained everything thoroughly before we left.

We had a good experience with the van. We set off during a blizzard which made learning about the van in advance of using it difficult! It would be helpful if the internal controls were labeled. We were a little surprised & disappointed to learn that the awning is broken and cannot be used.

The van, Papi, was fantastic and very well stocked. The host, Sarah, was great in coordinating the pickup and drop off. All made for a great adventure. Definitely will use them again.

This van is SO MUCH FUN. It is in beautiful condition and has everything you need. We even made it work with two adults and two small children. Sarah was so helpful and made communication a breeze. We will probably be signing up for regular rentals! Thank you so much!

Celebrating a 70th birthday by renting PapivanWinkle for 4 days. My sweeti is 6’3” and I’m 5’6” so question 1. Is this way of traveling for us? Question 2. Will we fit along with our four footed pals?
Simple answer, yes and yes! Sarah made the whole process super easy. Super host! The Revel was clean and had everything we needed. Once we’d stowed our gear we took off to explore, visit dear friends and celebrate! We spent our first night at Relavation Vineyard, our 2nd with friends in the mountains of West Virginia, our 3rd with friends in Little Washington and even a drive by to my sister in DC on our way to our final night at a campground. It allowed us to experience pretty much all the possibilities!
My only grumble was with the app Outdoorsy, but customer service was responsive and all got sorted in the end. Thanks to all for making our mini adventure a great success.

My experience with the van and dealing with the owners was exceptional. The process went off without a flaw and the van was awesome. I would not hesitate to rent again. Five stars.
