Guests love it for families

Guest review behind this vibe (5 / 5, March 2020):
> This was such a great experience for our family. From picking up the van, to camping all over Southern California. It all felt surreal. ALALANI was everything we’d hoped for in our van and more! Almost feel sad because we had to leave her behind. We had a great time and can’t wait to do it again!

Review summary (AI-generated from guest reviews):
- Proactive Trip Planning Assistance: Bill and Diane were extremely helpful in planning surprise trips, navigating state park reservations, and offering convenient add-ons like camp chairs and beach towels. Pickup was easy and efficient.
- Unique Driving Experience (No Power Steering): The Ala Lani VW T2 camper is clean and fully equipped with essentials (plates, mugs, utensils). Driving without power steering takes adjustment but is fun, offering a unique, memorable experience that makes it a standout at campsites.
