"Wally" - 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan - with Rooftop tent

Where to start...

If you're looking for the PERFECT experience and van on outdoorsy in Calgary please rent Ella or Wally with Ute.

The vans are fully geared with everything you need from towels to a whole kitchen in the back. Cutlery, laundry string, salt and pepper, propane bottles, pillows, very warm duvets. Everything is perfectly thought to allow you to take the van, put your baggages in the back and take the road.

The tent is amazingly easy to fold and unfold. The video Ute has made with her husband will make you understand quickly the few steps to do so.
Pretty comfortable too knowing you're sleeping on top of the car.

And what to say about Ute ! She's a kind and very organized person who will make everything super easy for you. She's very available and will answer any messages within a few minutes.
She even gave us a lift to the airport instead of taking the bus on our day back !

Thanks again for your friendliness Ute.

We will surely book again with Ute for our future trips in the Rockies.

Nous avons eu une super expérience avec Wally ! Tout est très bien pensé. Tout y est, il ne manque plus que nos vêtements pour partir à l’aventure. Le van est spacieux, très fonctionnel (rangement, prise électrique, usb). Même les jours de pluie, il est possible de manger à l’intérieur du van.
Ute et Harry sont disponibles pour répondre à toutes nos questions. Ils sont très arrangeants et sont même venus nous chercher à l’aéroport.
C’est le van idéal pour partir en toute sérénité! Merci Ute et Harry !

We had a great experience with Wally ! Everything we need is there and at the right place. We just need to bring your clothes and you are good to go ! The van is spacious, functional. You can even eat and sit inside during rainy days.
Ute and Harry are available anytime to answer all questions we may have. They are very arranging and they even pick us up at the airport.
It is the ideal van to have a safe and enjoyable trip! Thanks Ute and Harry !

I put this Grand Caravan on reservation for 3 weeks during peak season 9 months ahead of my planned trip. I spoke with the owners Ute and Harry several times providing me with all detailed information about Wally. They responded very quickly and kindly. Offering me extras at no cost and even offered a pickup at the airport early in the morning. I was forced to cancel due to the high expenses of this 3 week trip and my health. I discovered that my reservation money was not owed back to me due to the contract with Outdoorsy.
Ute said she would give it back if she rented out the time I had committed too. Leaving the issue as it was I thanked them for being helpful and patience. By the end of the day Ute had offered the deposit amount back in full. They didn't have to and still did. That is customer service far and beyond. Ute and Harry are people you want to do business with. Bless them both Merry Christmas.

We had an incredible experience from the moment we reserved our trip with Wally until the end when Ute personally dropped us off at the airport. She literally went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to be prepared to take off into the Canadian Rockies during the early days of October. To be honest, we didn't need much because of how prepared Ute was (she will reach out before and after the trip to recommend/confirm everything). We were a little worried about the cold but were surprised by how warm & comfortable the tent above the van kept us during nights that it snowed (we were actually sweating in our 30 degree sleeping bags). The van is equipped for anything camping related, its kept extremely clean & drives like brand new. I can guarantee anything you're thinking about bringing she has already stored inside the van. This made it easy for us to take off for our 4 day trip immediately after going over the paperwork and stopping for groceries. We took off for Banff the first night, Yoho the second & Jasper our 3rd night. It was an amazing experience and not one issue came up. We even ran into another couple renting one of Ute's identical vans during our trip who were on a much longer trip. If either of her vans are available, I would reserve ASAP! Thanks again Ute!

Wally & The Backpackers loft we're incredible! The day started with a complimentary airport shuttle, a 30min walk through of the vehicle and off we were! 'Wally' had everything we could ever want, from cooking equipment, to a comfortable mattress/tent, a full fridge, storage and maps/games!

I look forward to coming back and renting from the Backpackers Loft again!
