Ben was a great host. Met us at the airport both on arrival and departure. Very responsive when we had Qs. Would definitely recommend him.

Very comfortable van for 2 weeks of travel between Glacier and Yellowstone. Nice amenities, everything we needed, then some. The solar battery system was great, especially for that morning coffee! James was was pleasant and easy to work with. Only slight drawback is that in spite of a number of small led lights, it’s dark inside living space with doors closed.

We had a great time with the van. Stayed in two Montana Forest Service campgrounds, well out of cell phone range. Just us and the van--perfect! Everything was as promised, a very nice, well maintained, and well loved adventure van. Rugged, but comfortable. And complete--as the owner said, just bring food, and that's what we did. James made it no worry, no hassle rental. Highly recommended.

Great first time experience with small RV. James was a pleasure to deal with. Always on time and responsive. The van had what we needed and the size was great as we could easily fit into parking spaces and campgrounds. We loved the solar power and simplicity. We're used to tenting but wanted to give a small camper a try as we age up.

This Campervan is beautifully set up and fully equipped not only with equipment such as a refrigerator and sink, bed and storage, but with every conceivable necessary amenity such as plates, silverware, insect repellant, towels, toilet paper, sheets, blankets, etc. James was incredibly helpful and responsive both in the planning phase before our trip, at the pickup and delivery, and with a minor issue or two which popped up during our 2 weeks in the van and on the road.

Great experience renting this van.
The bed was comfortable, the sink inside was awesome, the van seats were comfortable on longer drives and the kitchen was fully stocked.
The fridge was amazing. Not having to constantly replace ice really spoiled us!

We enjoyed the experience. James was helpful in showing us around the camper van. It was easy to use, drive and set up. The bed was a little short for me (I'm 5' 11") but other than that we enjoyed the experience. We really enjoyed being able to plug in our Nespresso machine for morning lattes.

James was absolutely above and beyond for our honeymoon trip. He went out of his way to accommodate our complicated trip schedule and made sure everything went smoothly. He was available for questions and the van had everything we needed and more. The heater kept us warm in below freezing nights. He has also equipped the van with top of the line bedding including wool and down blankets! There was plenty of room for the two of us living in the van for two weeks. We drove through the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier with no problems. We would absolutely recommend James and his van.

We had a blast cruising around in James's campervan! safe, easy to drive with all the essentials needed. Fun interior decor as well. It snowed a fair amount (first snow of the year), and we were nice and warm inside! Warm bed linens + Cozy Cabin heater worked great! highly recommend.

Van was incredible. Everything you need for traveling, simple and sturdy. James was a fantastic renter and more than helpful throughout the trip. Would definitely rent the van from him again next time I'm in Montana!

Wow, awesome vehicle with more to offer than we could have imagined. We took it into Glacier National park and around Flathead Lake. It allowed us to camp for much less at RV parks than staying in a hotel. Its frame allowed us to easily fit into normal sized parking spaces, which was huge when trying to park close to attractions we wanted to see and hike around in GNP. Included plenty of water, a sink, awesome mini fridge (with complimentary 6 pack and chocolate - thanks James!), and a cool battery/ power set up that allowed us to charge phones and laptops even when the Van wasn't running. I never saw this Goal Zero battery get below 50%. Awesome experience that allowed us to go wherever and connect with nature in a small space with my husband. Great experience working with James as well. Hand off was quick and smooth at start and end of rental. He was nice enough to take us to the airport in the van so we didn't have to call an Uber (for a fee). Really loved the 5 day rental and would do it again in a heartbeat!

James was awesome to work with! He was great with communication and always responded quickly. We took the van to Glacier National Park and it was perfect for what we needed! I would definitely recommend booking with James and although he hasn’t decided on the name fully, “Betty” the van was awesome. 10/10 for the experience

This was my first experience and it far exceeded expectations. James was great, before and during. He took time to answer my adventure questions, to explain the various features of the van, and he was flexible. Above and beyond was the cleanliness and comfort of the living area. The bed was the best I found on my trip and the real down comforter and pillows were awesome. The little led lights hanging from the ceiling were awesome. Lots of great touches and easy to drive. (p.s. I am a 55 yr old single woman traveling alone and always felt safe)

Had a great experience with James. He responded quickly and his descriptions were accurate. The hand over was easy and he seems to be a good, down to earth guy. The van was equipped with most all the necessities. I’m a very minimalist traveler who is very familiar with the vanlife lifestyle so it all suited me just perfectly. If you’ve never driven a larger van it might take a bit of time to get used to it, but the van handles well and is easy to drive. Good fuel economy, smooth turns, plenty of storage.

James is punctual and professional. The van operates just as he advertises. It has an excellent air flow ceiling fan for night sleeping. Gas stove and water sink included. The van drives like a dream, has good tires, and has a hydraulic driver side seat comfort adjustment. AC works great. It is an easily maneuverable vehicle. Worth every penny. Waaay better than hotels.
