We had an amazing experience renting from Four Tens! The Sprinter camper van was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up — everything you’d want for a road trip. The onboard solar and house batteries worked perfectly, running independently from the engine. During our late-September trip, daytime temps were in the 80s–100s and nights were in the 60s–70s, and we were able to run the A/C overnight and still have plenty of battery power the next morning. I also use a CPAP machine and had no issues running it alongside the A/C all night — very impressive setup.
