Blue Iris RV owners, Marty & Suzanne, dreamed of someday becoming RVers. Then providence struck, and an opportunity to purchase a fabulously low-mileage Sprinter van along with lots of down time due to a pandemic resulted in their dream becoming a reality. They have enjoyed using Blue Iris off-grid and are excited to share her with you.

The overall experience was awesome. The van was pristine with plenty of room and plenty of electrical power to run anything you want. The owner did a fantastic job going over the van with us to make us feel very comfortable using and driving it. I get five stars.

Great renters. I have a high confidence a personal van is in their future.

Great trip exploring a big circle in Tennessee. Cleveland pickup was easy and is a perfect location to take off and start exploring. Just had hip surgery so we were looking for a chill and easy long weekend and this van was perfect. Van made it easy to enjoy the beautiful TN country, cook yummy food and sleep well in the comfy queen bed.
Van instructions were clear. Stocked with everything we needed so we really never even opened our own camping gear bucket. Easy to contact owner when we had a few questions. We had exactly the kind of vacation we wanted.

We had such a great experience! We took the van up to Duluth to see my sister. Getting the van was easy. The off-grid features were great to have. The heater worked well in the cold. The amount of storage space was great to have. They thought of everything with this van!

What a great experience! This was our first time renting a van like this and we took it up through Ohio to visit our daughters. This van is perfect and has everything you need. It is easy to drive and Marty goes over every detail so you feel comfortable with the features. Although we stayed at campgrounds we stayed off grid so we could check out how long the solar panel/battery charge lasted – we weren’t even close to using it all. I tend to be an over packer so I was worried about the space underneath for our stuff. There was plenty of room and room to spare. We would totally rent this van again and are already planning it!

Blue Iris RV
We took out the Blue Iris for a 4 rivers in 4 days. It was perfect. It fit my two teenage kids as passengers. There was not one detail they didn’t think of to add into the van, from a reading light, storage compartments, to a pullout awning for when it rained. The RV contained all the amenities we needed as well—from camping chairs and a coffee maker to something as small as trash bags. The Gregory’s thought of everything! It was so nice not to do the pack up and cleanup that we usually do when tent camping, especially since we tried out three different campsites and rivers. The Gregory’s were so friendly and easy to work with. They gave us a full rundown on how to run the electricity, the air conditioning, the fan, and the lights. We never had to plug in the RV since it charges through its solar panels and while driving from destination to destination. If you want a nice weekend getaway without the hassle of putting miles on your car, pulling a trailer behind your truck, or having to set up and tear down, I would definitely recommend taking out this beautiful luxury van into your perfect destination. With a bathroom, shower, running water and air—without needing a charge, you could go completely off-grid with no problem!
