Todd and Megan are amazing outdoorsy hosts! They really go the extra mile to make it easy to rent their Vans! I rented the red van and it was fantastic! It comes equipped with a very comfortable bed and all the equipment needed for camping.
Pick up and drop off were a breeze!
I highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable option! 5 stars 🌟

The van was perfect for our weekend getaway to Big Sur. It's VERY easy to drive and takes unleaded gas, so it was always easy to find fuel instead of having to find a gas station with Diesel. The length of the van easily fit in every standard parking space we pulled into. We really liked that layout and interior decor of the van. It really felt like a home on wheel rather than a camping van. The bed is comfortable and we appreciated that the host included bedding and a comforter with the rental. Other rentals commonly charge extra for that. The height of the bed was great, it was easy to sit up on it and use it as a bench towards the inside or facing out the rear of the van. There was plenty of storage under the bed for a weekend trip. The water system has good water pressure from the sink and sprayer hose. The van has really good insulation and never got cold at night with the doors closed, even on the coast. The host included a portable stove with the rental which was perfect for cooking dinner and breakfast. One thing to note is the front seats don't recline but we never found that to be an issue and they were more than comfortable driving all day. PIckup and drop off were really easy and the host is super friendly and had some great recommendations for us.

Great campervan for first timers wanting to experience a campervan road trip.
It's well stocked with the little things you'd need for a road trip - cooking utensils, towels etc.
The van is just right for 2 people and it's compact enough to fit into most parking lots.
