Exactly as advertised and so comfortable for a long weekend in West Virginia! The van was easy to drive and the backup camera made it easy to park as well. The bed is comfortable, but be aware that it's not full length -- I'm 5'7" and opted to sleep diagonally so I could stretch out fully, but north-south would have worked as well. The composting toilet was easy to use and didn't smell at all. I had more than enough power and water for three days even though I didn't get any sun to charge the batteries with. The interior is in great condition. Would book again!
