Happyvango ~ 2018 sprinter 144 4x4 camper van

Great Van for my 26 year old son and I. HappyVanGo was peppy, plenty of room, drove great, good gas mileage. Comfortable beds were a HUGE plus after long days hiking and exploring in Yosemite. I'll be a return renter for sure. No need for paying for a campsite hook up, Happy is fully independent. We boondocked one night outside the West gate off RT41 of Yosemite along the Merced River. Best night!

If renting with two I'd have Jenn remove the three seater as it will give you LOADS more room inside. All in all a great time, Great Van.

We loved our trip with this van. Jen and Matt were excellent hosts — super responsive and kind, and they provided really helpful and clear orientation videos which made for a quick, contactless, and efficient pick up.

Awesome vehicle, seamless rental and great communication!

Phenomenal van! My daughter and I had an amazing few days just exploring. Couldn’t have asked for a better set up! Matt and Jen were great. 5 stars all the way

Great van and great trip - heater kept family warm on some cold nights and it was so easy to drive. I’m inspired and officially want a van like this now! Thanks for great communication - will rent again soon :)

The short review:
Beware of Jen and Matt! They are such amazing hosts — and their van is so fun to road-trip in — that you may find yourself at a dealership writing a check for a van of your very own! True story.

The extended review:
In late summer, my wife and I (and dog) rented from Jen and Matt for an extended trip from Southern California to Oregon. The primary purpose was to visit an older parent who was dealing with some older-parent medical issues, and a Sprinter seemed like a terrific Covid-safe way to travel. Of course, it also seemed like a really fun way to travel — especially after years of enviously watching friends, and strangers on Instagram, tooling around in their rigs. It should be noted that my wife hadn’t quite shared the same van-obsessions; but roughly 10 minutes into our trip — the van loaded with everything she could possibly want to travel with — she was a convert :-)

This was our first time using Outdoorsy, and the experience couldn’t have been smoother. Throughout the entire process, Jen and Matt were communicative, conscientous, accommodating, and quick to respond to messages — from scheduling, to a contact-less pick-up over FaceTime, to mid-trip check-ins, to an unexpected trip-extension (then shortening, due to Oregon’s wildfires.)

The van itself was exactly as represented. It was sparkling clean when we picked it up, super fun to drive, and presented zero issues. As other reviewers have noted, the build-out is simple and functional. We weren’t looking for a home-on-wheels, so its utilitarian layout was perfect for us.

When we returned the vehicle, we were happy to finally meet Jen and Matt (and their adorable daughter) face-to-face. They were as warm and down-to-earth in person as they were over the phone In fact, Matt has remained a helpful resource for van info. It’s nice to have friends to accompany you while exploring the bottomless wormhole known as #vanlife!

We would rent from Matt and Jen again in a heartbeat, except for the fact that we are now owners of our own van — thanks, in no small part, to the experience they provided us.

Oh, and the happiest part of this extended trip-report is that our parent’s good health has returned.

Enjoy your adventures, wherever they lead you!
