We have rented a lot of vans to adventure out west and this was by far our favorite experience to date. Anthony gave an indepth guide to all the features of the van prior to departure. As it is an older van, it does have a smaller gas tank as to be expected so plan gas stop accordingly. We camped with our infant and had space for a bassinet. Even with lows in the 40s the van was warm without an additional heat source with just sleeping bags. The head space with the pop up and additional bed were awesome as we had some rain and were able to have additional space to stay out of the elements. Plus Chewie is just such an awesome fan and experience if you never experienced a VW camper van.

I recently rented an RV for my trip, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a smooth and enjoyable journey. Driving it was surprisingly easy, and all the features from the kitchen setup to the sleeping arrangements made the trip feel both adventurous and cozy.
