The moonpop is so easy to tow and easy to set up and take down. It was spacious and the main bed was comfy! If you plan to use the dinette bed I would recommend bringing an extra pad to sleep on because the cushions are not very comfortable alone. Austin was a great host and taught me everything I needed to know before I headed out.

Robert is excellent and provided all the necessary information and guidelines. Both pock up and drop off were smooth, and Robert made sure that all essential aspects are covered.

I rented joy for a solo adventure around NorCal's National & State Parks. There was plenty of space for just me, would've been more if I had only packed using carry-on sized luggage. I left the bed flat the whole trip, used the front passenger seat as my dresser, and behind the passenger seat as my laundry hamper. Everything you need is included with the van. My only negatives, were that the Bluetooth connection never worked for me, so I purchased a phone holder so that I could have navigation, and I used my Bluetooth speaker for music/audiobooks/hands-free phone. Also, the van's sliding doors stick sometimes and can be difficult to open & close from the inside. I purchased some WD40 to try to help, but it didn't make much of a difference. Lastly, the remote button to open the trunk hatch doesn't work, and there isn't a way to open the hatch from the inside, so you have to use the slide doors often. Those are very nitpicky little things though. All in all, Joy had everything I needed for a month long solo adventure.
