My son and I had an unforgettable 3-night adventure in Pearl! We went rafting and fishing on the Colorado River and camped at Pumphouse — an incredible experience from start to finish. The van was perfectly equipped for our trip, with a smart 2-bed layout that gave us our own sleeping spaces and a spacious kitchen area that made cooking and dining easy and comfortable.
