Tristan was a dream to work and book with. Communication was very responsive and informative. We went the with prior to Halloween, so they had the van decorated for Halloween for us. That was AWESOME!! We got so many compliments about it and we were glad to share about it. Such a great weekend with Happy Campers.

Working with Tristan and her wife was amazing from start to finish. They went above and beyond to ensure me and my family had everything we needed! These are people who truly care about their customers and the bus culture. If you want a smooth and guaranteed great experience in a wonderful bus then this is the place to be.

An amazing 5 star golden experience! My 3 little girls and I had the best vacation in this wonderful van! The van itself has so much character and was equipped with everything we needed and so many things we didn’t even realize that we needed! My girls are already talking about the next time we rent the van! Their highlights were the pop up roof and the amazing lights and sound system. My highlight was the character and charm of the van itself. It was so easy to drive and Tristan explained how to use all the features. It was all so simple. I cannot say enough good things about this van and our vacation on it. In addition Tristan was so easy to communicate with and answered all our many questions.
Such a great experience, we will be back for sure.

Tristan’s answer
