The van worked perfectly for my son and I on our weeklong ski roadtrip around New England. The van is well outfitted for any ski trip with all needed amenities . We like to overpack on winter roadtrips and were pleasantly surprised that the van was already outfitted with everything we could have needed. The heater worked flawlessly, even with overnight temps dropping to -5F. The rear slide out stored held our 4 pairs of skis(largest were 185 cm with 118mm waist) and a grain scoop shovel for digging out, if needed. The 120v outlets and supporting solar panels made it easy to run boot dryers overnight. The van has a sink, stove, and refrigerator for all kitchen needs. We found ourselves actually looking forward to hunkering down in the van during breaks and after skiing. We had several snow days during the trip and the 4wd(w/ burly tires) performed well and didn’t feel noticeably different than my truck in winter driving conditions. This van helped make for an amazing winter adventure. We highly recommend Rob’s Van for any trips during any season. We hope to rent it again for another trip next winter!

No brainer! Perfect setup for our trip. 20 degree temps in the white mountains and we stayed warm and cozy all night. 10/10 would recommend.
