Kelvin’s van was perfect for my trip with 2 adults and 1 dog. The van was in great condition, clean when I picked up and super easy to drive. We did a some off-roading and had absolutely no issues. The 4x4 worked great! Any time I realized I forgot something, I found it in the van already - a car phone charger, salt/pepper! Definitely unexpected but made for an even better experience. The heater was incredible and it was a game changing experience to have a fridge and power when camping (usually we’re just tent on the ground people.) Honorable mention to the fridge/freezer that kept our food and drinks so cold some beers became slushies. Super spacious/best mini fridge I’ve ever experienced.

We LOVED our time with Chewie! He had everything we needed, was super cozy, and handled super nice for an older vehicle! We took him to Big Sur and had a blast even in 2 days of rain! Anthony was super helpful and kind, responded promptly to our messages when we needed help with anything! Will be booking again!! 😄
