We had a great time camping in McDowell Park for the '23 Dawn to Dusk Mountain Bike race. The vehicle was the perfect fit for the adventure.

We had a great trip touring around the state of AZ in the camper SUV! The hosts were awesome to deal with and would highly recommend renting from them. We will forsure be repeat renters if we return to AZ for another road trip.

Kevin was great to communicate with. He goes above and beyond for providing detailed information regarding his vehicles. We unfortunately had a mishap with our first rental but he was quick to help us out and get us another vehicle so we could continue our trip to the Grand Canyon.

Coming from Europe I had been looking for a possibility to make an adventure road trip through magic Arizona as I came across that car. Communication with Kevin and Ally were excellent. I got all my questions answered within a short period of time and the renting process was easy going. I loved driving that car and have spent an unforgetable week in several state parks. A lot of useful tools and equipment are stored in the car. The bed is spacious enough for two. In case I would come again to AZ, I wouldn't hesitate to rent again with Kevin.

That vehicle was perfect for myself. Was able to run the car and get AC to sleep in a little once it got warm out. The fridge looks to be amazing, but I didnt use it as I had coolers and plenty of ice. Looking forward to renting it again as it was everything I needed.

We had a terrific time with the Blackbird on a four day trip camping south of Tucson. We had no problem figuring out how to use the vehicle and it’s many amenities. And we were warm even on cool nights in the Santa Rita Mntns. We would definitely rent it again.

Kevin was very easy to communicate with and the rig was perfect for my weekend in Sedona! Couldn’t have asked for more, especially for the price!

This was the best set up for simple RV camping. It got me everywhere I wanted to go and gave me the comfort of sleeping warm on the chilly nights. I will most definitely be out to AZ again to visit and plan to rent from Kevin and Alisa again. I've recommended them to others as well for stealth and fun travels. Thank you again for everything!!!!

Trip went smoothly in the rig after getting a system down for packing and unpacking truck at daily campsites. Plenty room and convenient. Owner responsive to email and text. Would recommend for those looking to get away from your normal routine. Trip was a great break from daily life.

The van worked perfect for car camping! It was stocked with pretty much everything we needed like cooking gear, sleeping bag, pillows, table, camping chairs etc. Would definitely rent again!

We had the most amazing time using this Blackbird Beauty. We climbed a mountain, kayaked horseshoe bend, and visited the Grand Canyon and Sedona. None of this would have been possible without Blackbird.

Loved the rig! Kevin and Alisa were super helpful throughout the trip & were very flexible with pickup/dropoff. The truck was even stocked with extra water & non-perishables which was a nice surprise.

I thoroughly enjoyed the use of Kevin and Alisa's remodeled Ford Expedition. The bed was comfortable, all the tools I needed to camp were supplied, everything was easy to use and they accounted for everything you might need. There is also piece of mind to know that if you can't find a campsite, the car is essentially a mobile campsite and you have nothing to worry about.

First off, nothing but love and respect to Kevin and Alisa for providing friendly, responsive service throughout the entire lead up to the trip through the drop off. The 'rig' worked exactly as I expected, everything was included such that I didn't need water or propane or any camping essentials for my four day rental. I spent my time in Sedona, sleeping comfortably at night with the windows down and looking out at the stars. The rig has a trailer hitch that I was able to rent a bike rack and carry two bikes for me and the wife.

Our experience renting Blackbird was everything we wanted and more! The rig was full of everything we could've needed, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the car drove really well. We had a great time exploring Arizona national parks and loved camping in the car. Additionally, Kevin and Ali were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend booking this car!

100% would rent again! We did a trip out to Sedona and the rig had everything we needed. Kevin and Alisa were super accessible if we had any questions and just great people. Looking forward to our next trip!

The rental came with more than we could have hoped for! They really thought of everything, and they were very understanding to our special needs in regards to dates and times and accommodated us above and beyond. They will be our go-to for all future trips!

Great experience with a fun vehicle. She's older, but still reliable and very utilitarian. I needed to bring nothing. Bed was super comfortable. Owners replied to my texts immediately and I occurred no problems whatsoever. In fact, I already booked it again for next year!!!!

We had an amazing two-week, cross-country adventure! Kevin and Alisa were super helpful with useful tips and quick responses. We realized we couldn't leave the fridge plugged in all night with the engine off, but even waking up to dead battery wasn't so bad because we not only had jumper cables but a portable battery to jump start it! Everything was great after we figured that out. The rig was very stocked with everything we needed! We did bring a small portable battery camping fan to keep us cool at night (although the temp in the UP of Michigan got down to 49° one night!). We used my bike rack to bring our MTB with us as well. The rig was perfect for our trip and we had the most amazing vacation exploring the country in it!

So glad we rented this rig! Gave us a chance to travel light and explore more! I would definitely rent again. The rig itself was well equipped, and handled very well on the toughest of forest roads for extreme camping spot access! Would recommend this rig to any adventurer looking for a durable, comfortable, sweet ride!

We had an excellent time. Kevin was wonderful! Always very prompt with his responses. We are already planning our next trip. He had everything we needed ready to go. We had one minor issue that was dealt with immediately. We would not hesitate to rent from Kevin again!

We had the most amazing time visiting Arizona and it was largely because of renting from Kevin and Alisa. Great communication from start to end, great value, friendly, and amazingly accommodating. The rig had everything we needed and more. The bed was SUPER comfortable. Plenty of room to stretch out completely.
Arizona has so much beauty. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend renting from Kevin & Alisa. What a truly wonderful experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Kevin & Alisa's Bluebird was perfect for us. We were celebrating our honeymoon and took this car from Arizona - Utah - Colorado - Back to Arizona and it was amazing! The car was clean Kevin responded quickly to all messages.

Amazing way of discovering the beautiful landscapes of Arizona. Very confortable and adventureous way of traveling, Kevin's van is perfect!!

Had the trip of a life time. Kevin was very attentive in all questions I had, the truck was as advertised and even better, came stocked with odds and ends you may forget sometimes due to traveling. You won’t regret this vehicle because there’s no better feeling then pulling up to camp, and only having to unpack a couple things and roll the windows down to sleep. Truck is kitted very well for Arizona, AC PHENOMANAL. 10/10

We had an awesome time taking this vehicle out on a climbing trip! The car worked fine, the bed was comfy, and Kevin was very helpful and attentive to any questions we had. We loved that we didnt have to worry about bringing cooking, dishwashing, or bedding materials - everything was there ready to use (except a fork, knife and spoon which we brought ourselves). There was even a French press and a cooler! Would definitely rent from Kevin again.

Kevin was amazing with us, the whole process from renting the vehicle, to using it and returning it was great. I would definitely rent again from him, and the Ford Explorer was comfortable, clean and worked just fine. Thanks!!

We had a great, short, trip in Kevin's rig. It was easy to drive, a joy to sleep in and outfitted with everything we could have wanted. Kevin's video explain absolutely everything you could want to know about operating his truck. We had a little difficulty at first knowing where the truck was located - ended up picking in up in Flagstaff which worked well for us. Overall, highly recommended.
