Van was very clean and perfect for our short camping trip. Vehicle drove great on highways and on the dirt roads around southeast Utah. It definitely isn’t meant for off roading but will get you to some epic camp spots.

Ben was receptive and easy to work with. The listing could have been more accurate; there are basic kitchen essentials, the awnings don’t work and there is no Wi-Fi. However, I’m happy to see the listing has been updated since we rented it. Also, the sensors don’t work which can be a little scary if you can’t move it to dump.
