My wife and I rented the QuadPodz for a week-long leaf-peeping trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and it made our adventure unforgettable. The van’s battery, solar, and water systems easily support 2-3 days off-grid. Heating kept us cozy on chilly mornings, and there’s ample storage plus a comfy bed for two. Cooking was a highlight- spacious kitchen, powerful induction stove, full cookware set, and good fridge space. All systems were simple to use. Marc was an excellent host- helpful, responsive, and thorough. A thoughtfully equipped van, highly recommend for your next adventure!

Such a great host and camper! Responded quickly, extremely accommodating with pickup/drop-off, included essentials we didn’t think about. Would highly recommend, camper was perfect size and easy to haul. The hosts were kind and helpful for a first time renter. Can’t wait to book again!
