This truck is fantastic. Comfortable, fun to drive, and everyone you encounter loves you for it. We had a super 10 day family adventure across Colorado and Utah, and loved it all. It is a bit of a gas guzzler but that comes with the territory. Well stocked and got us into some wild places!

Traveled comfortably ! Plenty of room for my family of 3. So easy to maneuver in national forest sites and traditional campgrounds.

This camper is amazing! It’s definitely true what the other reviewers have said about it getting lots of comments, smiles, honks and questions! You’ll be the most popular person on the road, no doubt. It’s pretty minimal in gear and things, but you don’t really need a ton anyway. Just be sure to bring some warmer gear if you take it out in the winter months and extra propane tanks. We were out camping in single digit weather and stayed warm with our 0-15 degree sleeping bags and gear. The heater helped! We think it probably stayed 20 degrees warmer in there than outside. Would definitely rent again and would love to know how he built it! We sure got a lot of questions if we built it ourselves :)

This camper provided a dope backdrop and a reliable vehicle to a pretty phenomenal experience in Colorado. I was surprised how warm the camper stayed, even in snowy 27 degree weather. Thanks for the ride and it’s true that you get honks, waves, and thumbs ups everywhere you go.

We had a great time in the wooden camper for a week, traveling around Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, and Winter Park! Get ready for literally EVERYBODY to come up and ask you about it! Some of the things that are good to know before renting:

Great trip. Rig handled better than I expected! A great rental for my family and a definite eye catcher at the campground and on the road.

This is our second time this year renting the truck camper from Paul and again it was such a fantastic experience! We stayed warm, even in the cooler mountain weather in October. Paul and Don's communication is awesome and we're already thinking about our next trip.

Overall we really loved our experience with the camper! People are super friendly no matter where you go, and it drives really well! A few things to keep in mind for future renters:
- there is only bedding provided for the double mattress, not the couch. the main mattress and bedding is comfortable enough for two people.
- there's no power source in the sleeping cabin, as others have pointed out, so you'll need to bring a light source and other power sources for charging devices, especially if you're not driving much
- the cooler is an adequate size and works very well for keeping food + drinks very cold
- it's insulated well and I was impressed with the window set up {there are screens you can pop in at night} so that we could get a lot of air flow while sleeping
- my husband and I are tall, and even for us there was plenty of room for us to fully stand up and walk around

Had a great 2 weeks in Paul's truck. Listen to the other reviews- the approving nods/thumbs up/etc from strangers never ends.

We had an absolute blast renting this camper! Both Paul and Don were great on the communication end for making arrangements with the camper pick up and drop off. The other reviewers weren’t kidding about the amount of waves and thumbs up you receive when driving this thing around. People go out of their way to come over and check it out, ask questions and just tell you it’s the coolest camper they have ever seen or ask if you are gypsies. The truck was easy to drive, the cab is spacious enough to fit two adults, two large dogs and a baby in a car seat with plenty of room for gear that we needed access to on the road. The truck has all the modern conveniences of USB ports, cruise control, etc and handled both highway driving and dirt national forest roads well.
The camper itself is very structurally sound and very well insulated without the need for the heater in sub-freezing overnight temperatures. There are no interior lights inside but there are command strip hooks around for small lanterns to be hung up as well as helping to organize other gear. We felt that the cabin was very secure and felt comfortable with the ability to lock our gear and other valuables inside. Hopefully we will make our way back to Colorado again in the near future so we can take this rig around on another road trip again.

Could not have had a better experience and can not recommend enough. I wish it was my own! It truly is a bed and a couch with a little storage, grill and cooler but that’s all you need :) the van has been named amongst our friends as the Gypsy Wagon. It was a weekend we will never forget!

We had a great time in this camper from Denver up to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone for 6 nights. Drove like a charm, very similar to a regular pickup. Bed was extremely comfortable for 2 people and camper stove was useful for cooking on the go and at campsites. Paul was super communicative. Yeti was a lifesaver. Had so many fun conversations about it with people along the way!

Perfect camper for our family of four. So cool, so comfortable. Easy to drive and power to spare going over mountain passes. Great communication for pick up and drop off. Will rent again. Thanks!

Be prepared for an abundance of thumbs up, smiles and photos taken by strangers intrigued by this rig. Such a fun experience traveling in this rig to trail heads in the San Juans to bag multiple 14ers.

We are still pinching ourselves that we were lucky enough to rent this camper. Perfect for a safe, socially distanced road trip vacation for our family of four. Paul’s communication was amazing and we loved the flexibility and fun this vehicle provided. A few notes to enhance your experience:
1. Paul has six cubbies in the van, so if you pack clothes and gear in small boxes, it’s easy to grab and go while keeping the space neat.
2. If you have kids (or are short like me!) a small stepladder makes getting into and out of the back of the truck easier.
3. We really liked having a Coleman lamp at night, so don’t forget to pack a strong light source.
4. As others have mentioned, this camper brings out some *feelings* in people. Grizzled old dudes turn into excited, waving little boys at the sight of it. It’s pretty magical. We hope we’re lucky enough to rent from Paul again!

We had a great time taking this camper out to Rocky Mountain National Park. The camper is super unique and was exactly as described. Paul was also very responsive before and during the trip. I would definitely recommend!

Great vehicle. We got a lot of stares, waves and questions throughout the San Luis Valley. Super easy to drive. Comfortable ride for 4 guys. Put a bike hitch on the back and had plenty of storage space inside the wooden house. I would have given it all 5 Stars but the propane canisters were both empty and it was a little dusty. Overall, well worth it.

This truck camper was an absolute dream! I took it out for 4 nights of camping at the Estes Park KOA (highly recommend — the hospitality is unmatched!) to see fall color in Rocky Mountain NP. Be prepared to be the coolest kid on the road and make friends quickly. Heads will tilt, photos will be taken, horns will be honked and thumbs ups will be given. The queen bed is super comfortable and the whole space was super cozy. Pro tip: Be sure to pack or pick up an extension cord so you can plug in the fairy lights at night! I can't wait to take this beauty out on another road trip soon.

This camper was AMAZING! it felt like a little house on wheels and we were getting SO many compliments on it while driving it around the mountains! It was easy to drive and was super cozy. We stayed warm at night and had so much room to move around. It comes with a large yeti cooler and a two burner stove top which was great to cook outside on the back! Would HIGHLY recommend this fun camper :)

We had an awesome time and got thumbs up everywhere we went in what we nicknamed “Woodstock”. Great experience all around.
