Great van (like new!), perfect for a family camping adventure in the Sierras.

To start, we were RV nubies.... 1st trip from Sac to Yellowstone with stops in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton. We rented Nick's RV and he walked us thru all the features and how everything worked. We were nervous but Nick assured us that it would be easy and he would be available to answer any questions. Well, the first night we couldn't figure out the heating and hot water. He walked thru the process and sent videos. All worked great. We really enjoyed the trip and Nick's RV. Very comfortable to drive, clean and very cozy. Even my wife who was hesitant about the trip and sleeping in an RV enjoyed the entire experience. We will definitely use Nick and his RV again for our next adventure.

This was my 4th Outdoorsy trailer rental and my favorite by far. Natalie and Dreis were great hosts and the trailer was beautiful, well-equipped and well-maintained. Comfortable bed, large shower and very clean. Delivery, set-up and pick up went smoothly and on time. Looked just like the pictures. I really enjoyed staying in this trailer!
