We had an amazing trip through the Eastern Sierras in this little RV. The size was perfect for our little family. We loved how this RV was small enough to fit into a standard parking spot. Nate and Natalie were great to work with!

First, the host James was great! He is patient, responsive and very informative. This was my first experience and learned a lot. The van was easy to use and in terrific shape with all the things you need to be self sufficient on the road. My dogs were with me and while it was a challenge at times, they had great fun on the adventures during our 8 day trip. It was very convenient to be able to park in a regular spot. You are in good hands with James and his van and would highly recommend!
