“Herman” 2019 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Campervan

Fantastic Van and Fantastic Owner to work with. Very helpful and generous with the return time. That helped a lot. Thank you.

We had the best time with Bryan’s van and can’t wait to rent it again!

As the other reviews state, it is the perfect size for 2, with tons of storage and all the amenities you could wish for. Our “campsite” was off the beaten path and the 4 wheel drive and off-road tires made it a breeze to drive on snow/ice.

The bed was SO comfortable. We slept at an angle so the size was not an issue. The battery was easily able to support running the heat and fan throughout the night, so we had the perfect temperature within the van, even as it dipped below 30 degrees.

We cooked all our meals in the van. It is fully stocked with utensils, plates/bowls, and spices. The stovetop was super quick to heat up and having running water in the sink was amazing.

While a lot of information is thrown your way when Bryan sets you up with the van, he is always quick to respond with any questions or issues you may have.

Can’t suggest this van or working with Bryan enough. It was an amazing vacation!!

Bryan really sets you up for a great experience in Herman.

Driving. The van is easy to drive and comes decked out with all the Mercedes bells and whistles. My wife is unaccustomed to driving vehicles this size and even she quickly adapted to it. The 4WD, though not used much, provided nice peace of mind getting to our campsite, which by any definition of was “out there”.

Operating the rig. Neither of us have ever tasted the van life before, and while we were both curious and excited to try it out, we were admittedly a little intimidated by it all at first. That quickly faded, though, thanks to Bryan’s informative and friendly walk through and the intuitive touch screen control panel, which made operating/monitoring all of the “house” appliances a breeze. There is no manual for this part, but we didn’t really come in need of one on our trip. If your memory isn’t great or you like a little extra confidence, Bryan is a text or phone call away and is super responsive.

Storage. There is plenty! My wife and I are both severe “over packers” and even we could not fill up all the storage.

Kitchen. The kitchen comes outfitted with everything you could ever need in the backcountry (including a beautiful set of custom ceramic dish ware) and is a breeze to clean thanks to the induction cooktop. Again, lots of storage here, just be sure to lock the drawers closed before driving, as they will open! Bryan kindly warned us of this, but we ultimately learned the hard way and will now never forget it.

Toilet. It has one, though we didn’t need to use it. Knowing it was there in case of emergencies though was a nice feeling.

Shower. It has one, but again we didn’t need to use it. It sets up by the back doors (outdoor) and looks pretty easy to use, though.

Sleeping. I am tall (6’3”) so the bed was a little cramped, but we also had our two dogs with us who are bed hogs. If you are shorter, like to curl up, or not bringing dogs to where you could lay diagonally you should be fine. The shelving on the sides hangs a little lower than you might expect, making for a head bonk here and there, but again, the van makes up for this with storage.

Hands down our favorite part was watching the sun rise and set from the comfort of the bed with the back doors open. All those Instagram posts you see of these moments, however cliche, are the real deal. Seriously. Rent this van and go experience it for yourself!

10/10 would recommend to a friend.

The van is beautiful, and beautifully appointed. The kitchen is small, but it has everything you think you could possibly want and more. I've stayed at houses with less kitchen amenities.

Good storage for clothes for a 3-4 day trip (I like to change even when camping, ymmv)

The van drove REALLY well, great tires, and we hit ALL the weather too (sun, rain, fog, snowstorm, ice)

The bed and bedding were super cozy and warm, and the van keeps heat well. We didn't even run the heater on 40 degree nights.

The only downside we really had was the bed size - my husband and I are relatively tall people - my husband is ok curling up, but I like to sleep with my legs straight or my back and knees end up hurting. So we ended up turning our pillows so our feet were hanging off the bed. And honestly, this is just a part of #vanlife, so stars remain at 5. If you're smaller or like to curl up to sleep, you'll be just fine. Did I mention how comfy the bedding was?
