My name is Scott and I live in Portland, OR with my partner, our dog and two cats. I'm an avid skier, mountain biker, hiker, camper and traveler. Some of our fave places to visit are Astoria on the Oregon Coast and the Southwestern US when we're looking to explore a bit further.

Outdoorsy guidelines
Your safety and health is key. This host has committed to a thorough cleaning regimen informed by CDC guidelines.
Shackleton is a charming and warm (on the inside), stealthy (on the outside) rig for two campers - AND your furry friend!
At 18 feet long there’s plenty of room to move around without being difficult to drive or park (in fact, the backup camera makes that easy). It’s tall enough for 6-foot-plus adults to stand up comfortably without having to hunch over. Full insulation keeps it warm even in the winter.
A composting toilet with dedicated fan provides the essential amenity when you need it and is out of the way when you don’t.
Plenty of storage space means you and yours can bring all the gear you need for you adventure - skis fit in the “garage” without a problem and bikes can live inside the van.
A 300 Watt solar system and separate house battery means you’ll likely never run out of juice for lights and charging devices.
A big window in the kitchen provides plenty of natural light during the day and plenty of lights at night keep it cozy after dark.
Swiveling passenger seat provides flexible seating options inside the van when you’re eating, relaxing or working.
A Huge retractable awning provides plenty of shelter from the sun or rain wherever you are.
The Diesel engine gets surprisingly good gas mileage (up to 20 MPG) so you won’t break the bank driving to your destination.
A sliding Dometic fridge offers plenty of space for all your goodies without draining much power from the system.
What's included
- Basic kitchen utensils, pots and pans, cutting board and cutlery. - Fresh linens on the bed, although you may choose to bring your own sleeping bag or blanket depending on how hot/cold you sleep, where you’re going, etc. - Composting toilet paper will be provided - Paper towels and basic cleaning supplies will be provided
Recommendations
- Camping near Mt Hood - Ski trip to Timberline or Mt Hood Meadows - Day trip (or weekend trip!) to Cannon beach - Haystack Rock - Road trip to the Hoh Rainforest - See the crater at Mt St Helens - Climbing trip to Smith Rock - Mountain Biking in Bend - Skiing at Mt Bachelor - Sightseeing in Astoria
Other things to note
Sorry, no smoking in the van. It’s a small space and smells stick around, so this is important.
Accidents happen - if anything breaks or goes wrong, please let me know so I can fix it.
This fee will cover preparing and sanitizing the unit prior to each rental. This includes washing the linens, washing the dishes, and cleaning the van top to bottom.
