#GOAL_DIGGER_THE_VAN 2015 Ford Transit

Well designed van that was surprisingly easy to drive. The owner was very helpful with both the rental and return process

#GOALdigger the van was a great experience for me. As a traveling artist, my goal was to be close to the ocean in my time with the van in order to paint. this experience allowed for just that. The owner was responsive and helpful in setting up the rental. The van was equipped just right with sleeping, cooking, and driving accommodations. @jeffaevans

The Goal Digger was the perfect little rig for our coastal adventure. Patti was delightful to work with and available to us every step of the way. The van was super clean, equipped with all that we needed, easy to drive and super comfortable to hang out and sleep in. It’s basic (we are too!) with a versatile floor plan. Loved that we had the option of turning the bes space into a little lounge area. We are considering buying a van of our own to take across country... Outdoorsy let’s you dip your toes in these waters without taking the big financial plunge that #vanlife requires. Thankyou Patti, for holding our hands through a few turns. We’ll be back!

We rented Pattie’s gorgeous Goal_Digger for Valentine’s weekend for some fun exploring in our local community and to try van life on for size. This is the best antidote for quarantine fatigue and we love the freedom of being able to quickly pack up and Go. Goal_Digger is immaculately clean, comfortable and easy to drive. Pattie is a wonderful host and we highly recommend her van to anyone seeking a lovely way to find adventure in style and comfort.

My wife and I rented Goal Digger for 2 weeks in October 2020. We needed a safe getaway and figured a campervan provided that! We loved our 2 week trip in Pattie's van, and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a campervan. This was our first time renting a campervan, and we couldn't be happier with our decision.

In searching for a van, we had a few criteria:
1. Easy to drive
Goal Digger is automatic, a relatively newish model, and has a backup camera. It also has cruise control for those long empty drives.
2. Decent size
Goal Digger is not too big and not too small. Especially with a longer trip we wanted to be able to stand
3. Self sufficient
Has a sink, has a butane stove so you can cook inside. It has no restroom which we preferred. We mainly stayed at campsites that had restrooms so this was preferable to us as it meant we didn't need any hookups to RV sites. This will save you money at campsites.
It generates A LOT of solar power, so we were able to keep Ipads, phones, and laptops charged without worrying.
It had a fridge so we could cook without making frequent trips into grocery stores and restaurants.
4. Cute
My wife wanted a cute campervan, and the wood paneling adds a nice touch inside.

Checking in and checking out with Pattie was super easy, and Pattie was easily accessible via phone or outdoorsy messaging.

For anyone considering a campervan, here is some advice:
1. It gets cold inside. At the end of the day, it's a van without much insulation, so prepare warm clothes and blankets
2. When planning your trip, add some buffer time for cleaning up the van each morning
3. You don't need RV sites when picking campsites. There are no water/electrical hookups for Goal Digger, so save yourself some money.
4. Make sure you look up how long your campsite's driveway is so that Goal Digger will fit. This usually wasn't an issue for us as Goal Digger isn't that big.

This was our first trip in a camper van and we loved it! The van did great and Pattie was a wonderful host - very friendly and helpful! We would definitely rent from her again and we highly recommend her to others.
